Fox News vs. Politico? Steve Doocy rips Politico as a 'left-wing blog' for misreporting Steele story
The Daily Caller ^ | December 15, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Could this be the signal of a new feud between two political media companies?

Over the past few weeks, Politico has taken attacks on the Fox News Channel from the left-wing activist group Media Matters and reported them as news. The latest incident came on December 15, when Politico reported on e-mails leaked to Media Matters that described Fox News’ editorial policy on climate change. Previously Politico ran a similar story that had been leaked to Media Matters about how Fox News management suggested on-air talent use the term “government option” to describe government-backed health insurance.

Didn’t Doocy call them out several months ago?

Heard it as well. Politico seems to be a favorite of MSNBC. That’s enough evidence for me.

I watched that this morning on Fox and Friends, pretty blunt he didn’t think much of their “reporting”.

It’s about time Politico got labeled for what it is, not that there is a soul who didn’t know, but just for the record it’s nice to have Doucey tell it like it is. They just short of Huffington II, sans the swearing and inflammatory language. Flame throwers deluxe against conservatives, however.

politico is definitely LEFTIST - cripes - it was started and owned by second tier WaPo Leftists.

Why its articles are so often posted here never ceases to amaze me.

politico is not a friend of the Right.

Not much of a scuffle. Politico is just another leftie web site that quotes Media Matters attacks on all conservatives.

There were two or three guys at Politico that were Jounolisters. There is no doubt who’s water they carry over there.

How about THE HILL? They printed this today;

A group of GOP centrists voted down a measure sought by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) to set in stone current tax rates.

Sens. Scott Brown (Mass.), Susan Collins (Maine), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Olympia Snowe (Maine) and George Voinovich (Ohio) all bucked DeMint on a procedural vote to suspend Senate rules and allow for the amendment....
-snip-
The two-year extension by itself comes with a considerable price tag, but it doesn’t compare to the hole in the deficit a permanent extension might threaten. Extending the tax cuts for top earners alone would cost $700 billion over the next 10 years.

All news outlets quote MMfA as if it's Gospel.

I watched that this morning and was actually surprised that Steve Doocy finally called them a left wing blog. I have said for month that anything from Politico should be taken with a grain of salt

“Eyeliner Boy?!!??”

Who, pray tell, is eyeliner boy?

It sounds like I’m missing an insult against a liberal that I need to pick up. Poodles I got. Surrender monkeys, okay. Maggots - I use that a lot. But I’m missing the eyeliner boy.

Thanks...

I see it but can barely believe it.

This is most definitely another mark against liberals in particular and in general.

Thanks, raybbr.
