You don’t fact-check your Lord and Savior:

Politico is toooooo far left to fact check the _resident

[mkmensinger]

This is hilarious. On each point they claim Rubio is wrong, then in the last sentence of each section, they admit he’s right.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Politics’s attempt at “fact checking” seems to be more an exercise in shallow speculation.

Republicans open to letting billions in sequester cuts go through figure they can blame the president if the economy goes south.

But Democrats are betting they can shift that blame right back to the GOP.

They’re so confident, in fact, that they’re already eyeing at least 10 Republican-held seats with strong military connections from Florida to California to target in 2014, after sequester cuts have trickled down to local bases where jobs are lost and voters notice.

Politico is on Obama's team.

[who knows what evil?]

Politico = Politburo.

Samuelsohn joined POLITICO in June 2010 after a decade in Washington D.C. with E&E Publishing’s Greenwire and Environment & Energy Daily. There, he covered domestic and international climate change politics and policy, major energy legislation and air pollution regulations. Before E&E, Samuelsohn was the outdoors, travel and entertainment reporter at The Olympian in Washington state.

Hard to hear what Politico is saying when they have their heads so far up Obama’s butt.

Kenen got the newspaper bug in second grade (the Teeny Town News), spent way too much time at the Harvard Crimson and then found herself in Central America, where she had an Inter American Press Association fellowship. She worked for Reuters in New York, Florida and the Caribbean and Washington. As a Kaiser Family Foundation media fellow in 2006-07, she wrote about aging and palliative care. She spent three years writing and blogging about health policy at the nonpartisan *New America Foundation.

The New America Foundation is an American non-profit, left-leaning public policy institute and think tank focusing on a wide range of issues, including national security studies, technology, asset building, health, energy, education, and the economy. The organization is based in Washington DC in addition to having a significant presence in New York City.

In 2007 Steve Coll, a former managing editor of The Washington Post, became President of the New America Foundation. Google's Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, is chairman of the foundation's board of directors.

New America Foundation: Another ‘Non-Partisan’ Group Goes Hard Left...Again

Behold the New America Foundation (NAF), yet another Washington, D.C. entity laying claim to high-browed, high-minded non-partisanship.

The New America Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute that invests in new thinkers and new ideas to address the next generation of challenges facing the United States....

Too often, these challenges have proven impervious to conventional party politics and incremental proposals.

The first question that leaps to mind is: Why a New America? Why do they want to rid us of the Old America? Sounds an awful lot like President Barack Obama wanting to “fundamentally transform” the Old Girl.

Who pays for this little show? And by “little show” we mean one that had a 2010 outlay of $15,695,563. Why, it’s Leftist joints like:

$1,000,000 (in 2011)

The Ford Foundation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Eric and Wendy Schmidt

$250,000-$999,999 (in 2011)

Open Society Institute (a George Soros outfit)

Google, Inc.

Wait, go back - Eric Schmidt? Is that the President Obama Uber-Crony?

Eric is a member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology....

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt Doubles Down On His Support Of President Obama

Some Perspective on Obama’s Bromance with Eric Schmidt

Why yes it is. And wait: Google gave somewhere between $250K and $1 million - and their former Chairman gave an additional $1 million-plus?

Those two rats look like imperfect, strange characters from a Steven King novel. Their evil-following intent shows through.
