NEW YORK ― Politico acknowledged Sunday that it was a mistake for one of its top reporters to send the Democratic National Committee an advance copy of an article while emphasizing there were no substantive changes made to the piece prior to publication.
A May 2 article by Politicos Ken Vogel and Isaac Arnsdorf ― Clinton fundraising leaves little for state parties ― has come under scrutiny since WikiLeaks published over 19,000 internal DNC emails on Friday.
In an April 29 email thread, DNC national press secretary Mark Paustenbach shared Vogels detailed questions with others working to coordinate a response to what would be an unflattering story about fundraising efforts. Paustenbach also spoke to the Clinton campaign that day in preparing the DNCs pushback, according to the emails.
On April 30, Paustenbach told DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda that hed received the story in advance. Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didnt share it, he wrote. Let me know if you see anything thats missing and Ill push back.

“It was an aberration. It only happened once.”
— Yeah, right.
I love it when the mask slips and we find out who these people really are.
Meaning only that he wrote it to their specifications initially. Good for him. /s
It was an aberration. It only happened once.
“It only happened once.
Well, we know that bs. Hope for more in the next drop.
Oh well as long as they admit their mistake no foul no harm, right? Not only no, but hell no. Besides how can we be sure it was only this one article? Is it because after that one article you just let the DNC write your articles for you so they wouldn’t have to be screened?
The author of the HuffPo article, Michael Calderone, used to work at Politico.
This incestuous relationship is why Politico is called PoLeftico.
Just more evidence of a corrupt media shilling for the DNC-they can’t deny it now.
Then here comes another....and another....and another....and another. Keep ‘em coming Wiki!
The Party’s media. There is no free press in the US.
Only because it has been exposed.
All of the REVENUE Generated at Politico as a result of this blatant and admitted Collusion between various media outlest and the DNC, Should Legally be Considered an “In Kind Contribution”, which means it is CLEARLY ILLEGAL.

What Counts as a Contribution
Most people think of contributions as donations of money in the form of checks or currency. While these are common ways of making a contribution, anything of value given to influence a Federal election is considered a contribution. This section describes several forms of giving that are considered contributions under the Federal campaign law. All the contributions you make—whatever their form—count against your per committee limits.
Ya Hey, Sure was a mistake.
A mistake that they got caught...
We know what they are, it’s just a matter of haggling over price.
I agree.
It would be easy to prove.
Isn’t there a conservative law firm out there who wants to litigate it.
Lots of money in dismantling the main stream media, probably more than the Catholic church.
Yes Kenny was a Soros employee but got a transfer back to oversee the soros work at its Leftico propaganda division !
mistake
When Republicans do the same thing, it’s corruption.
