Politico Watch: The Most Biased Items Of The Week
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/30/2017 | Will Ricciardella

The Daily Caller News Foundation has compiled a weekly list of examples exposing bias in Politico’s daily emailed newsletter that briefs subscribers on the most important news of the day.

This week, Politico Playbook’s writers, Anna Palmer, Jake Sherman, and Daniel Lippman took issue with White House Communications Director Athony Scaramucci’s “anonymous” source, declared President Donald Trump’s senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner guilty, and lamented Trump’s inability to fulfill all his campaign promises in his first six months in office.

Below are the most egregious examples from the past week:

1. Seems like media skepticism of anonymous sources only occurs when it counters the Russian narrative, instead of thrusting it forward.

..

2. It wasn’t just Trump’s victory, the GOP won the Senate and kept the House running largely on the repeal of Obamacare. And since when is repeal “gutting health care?”

..

3. Kushner has to blame others while “trying” and “attempting” to explain his innocence because Politico has already declared him guilty. So Mr. Mueller, you can stop investigating now.

..

4. Well no, Amazon.com doesn’t own the Washington Post, but both have the same owner, Jeff Bezos. Worth pointing that out rather than implying they’re in no way connected.

..

5. Well, to be fair Ms. Karni, he has three and a half years to make good on them. I Don’t think he promised to get it all get done in his first six months.

..

6. No longer forcing people to buy health insurance they don’t want and allowing them to choose on their own, is why fewer people will have coverage. Not very pro-choice!

..

7. They’re nondisclosure agreements, actually. And perhaps you never seen one like this because the others haven’t involved the first family of the United States. Just saying.

Then the MSM refuses to cover Pakigate and the NYT minimizes it.
