Shorter Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen:
Doing journalism and not manufacturing a phony sense of competitive tension that will sustain us through the next five months is fucking with our business model. Just stop it, you’re ruining everything, you guys.
Also, too.

Even shorter entire rightwing: Any story, no matter how true, that depicts any conservative in a less-than-flattering light is biased.
Even shorter Vandehei and Allen:
The NY Times and WaPo wouldn’t let us do this crap when we worked for them, and now we can. Nyah, nyah, nyah!
These guys are just twats. They’re establishing themselves to replace the aging, old guard on the D.C. cocktail party circuit.
I’ve been a journalist. Even if yo are a great journalist, you don’t generally make a great deal of money, you don’t get a lot of respect and you’re invited to very few fancy parties.
They want money, fame and invitations. They will suck the popular kids’ balls to be accepted into that circle of vile, vile, lying pack of social-climbing pigs like Peggy Noonan, George Will, Maureen Dowd, Tom Friedman, Sally Quinn.
They write a “bitchy” D.C. version of People Magazine. They have no honor. No shame. Only obsession to be wealthy and famous.
Assholes.
By the way: Anyone want to help take out Scott Walker?

Devon Gordon’s fifth point rings truest: this wasn’t journalism or even media analysis by Pool Boy and Pretty Lips; it was just business, a takedown of Politico’s two primary competitors in national election coverage.
Shoddy, but entirely expected from these two. They are execrable.
For the pig bastard 1%er class and their testicle-sucking toadies, it’s always personal, even when it’s business. Especially when it’s business. Worse than the ‘Get Elected-Get Re-elected’ greedhead assholes, are the facilitators of the whole ‘Get Elected-Get Re-elected’ hustle. They sell their humanity to stand next to these gods the helped ascend to divinity, just to grab some crumbs of prestige. Sub-humans, the lot of them.
“By the way, anyone want to help take out Scott Walker?”
Well, let’s ask Barack Obama. I hear he’s got a little pull with the DNC. Maybe he can get them on board.
Eh? Typical both of these two “scribes” (which is being kind), and all the rest of what passes for a toady propogandzied “media” these days.
I cannot wait for the general election to be over bc we’ll just get more of this kind of breathlessly victimizing hyperventilating lying b.s. from the corporate-owned propoganda wurlitzer. Every day presents yet another opp for rightwing fainting couch pearl clutching whines & sobs about how teh horrid it is if something factual is said about their latest shiney object.
Whatever…
Jesus H. Christ. Give it a fucking rest.
Dogz??
