White House Slams Politico as Untrustworthy
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 05/05/2017 | staff

Posted on 05/06/2017 8:11:35 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed Politico on Friday as not being trustworthy.

During the White House daily press briefing, a reporter asked Sanders about a Politico story on the Trump administration planning on gutting the Office of National Drug Control Policy's budget.

Sanders answered by giving the reporter some advice.

"Look, my first piece of advice would never be to use Politico for a source for your story," Sanders said.

Sanders then said she could not comment on the budget right now because it is just a draft.

No reporters asked Sanders about her comments on Politico or attempted to defend the publication.

Sanders was filling in at the podium during Friday's press briefing while Press Secretary Sean Spicer was at the Pentagon fulfilling his Navy Reserves duties.

Politico is a high-powered left-wing journalism company that covers D.C. and the doings of Congress like a glove.

I wouldn't trust them if they stated that the sun rose in the east.

They really, really, really suck, but “The Hill” is worse.

Politico might as well be the mouthpiece of the Clintonistas and the Hill might as well be written by elementary kids and Yahoo News.

I don’t know of any major news sources that use “anonymous sources” as much as Politico.

Washington Post ... they’re pretty much just publishing rumors these days.

The problem is the media has come out with so much fake news they have lost all credibility. Hard to tell what is real news and what is fake news. It has got that bad.

Imo, they’ve gone beyond simply publishing rumors to manufacturing their own rumors to publish.

The Politico story linked to a draft of a document laying out the cuts. Is she saying the document is forged?

LOL - love her so far. Kinda ironic that Trump, the woman abaser/abuser has the first ever female press secretary....I bet he only pays her 26% of what Spicer gets though........

1) Deputy Secretary, not Press Secretary
2) Dana Perino, Dee Dee Meyers, both former Press Secretaries.

Edjumication and attention span. Check into them.

Thanks for the education - totally forgot Dana and Dee Dee - quick search turned up a couple lines saying she was the first.

A far as attention span goes, what was the topic?
