Politi-KO'd: Leftist Site's Traffic, Credibility Falling Fast

In the aftermath of Politico's decision to suspend its White House Correspondent, Joseph Williams, for tweets mocking Mitt Romney's wealth and comments made yesterday on MSNBC, it is remarkable to see outlets I respect praising Politico for its correct and quick action.

That's exactly wrong.

We should not be suspending or punishing journalists who are open about their biases. We should be encouraging and praising reporters willing to be upfront about such things. In a nutshell: Politico suspended Mr. Williams for being open about his biases, but in a just world Politico would suspend itself for lying about theirs

If you go back a few months and look at what FReepers said about “Pollutico” being pro Romney scumbags.

but many conservatives, including myself, thought these were good guys and in response we welcomed them aboard.

Yeah, Nolte and Bill Bennett. Two big deals. You apparently ignored that these punks were paid outriders of the WaPo, and never said they'd be "fair and balanced."

But no harm done. Most of us saw through them way before you beltway schmucks did, which is why they are tanking now, without your help.

BTTT!

(It's annoying that Rush quotes them so much on his show. It's like giving credibility to Maher or Maddow.)

Before the nomination was sealed up, most all the left media was pro-Romney. I don’t think anyone actually thought they would favor Romney vs Obama in the general.
