Politico/WaPo Editors To Meet Over [Mike Allen's] Playbook Payola Scandal
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | January 14, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/17/2014 3:12:01 AM PST by Timber Rattler

It has been over two-months since Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple dropped a bombshell on Politico with a meticulously researched report that alleges Politico's influential Playbook editor, Mike Allen, rewards advertisers with glowing coverage. The response from Politico thus far has been to dismiss, downplay, and ignore Wemple's reporting as "nonsense."

Do you think there in any connection between the name POLITICO
and PoliticObama, aside from the dishonesty that permeates them both?

Well, absolutely...if you dig through the cited pieces, you'll find this:

Politico's goal with the influential and widely read Playbook is to try to set that day's media narrative. Because Politico is a left-wing outlet that disguises itself as objective, that goal alone is sinister enough.

Allen's "Playbook" is Journo-List on steroids, and all the lay media reporters use it to do their daily stories. Consequently, that's why Politico in general, and Allen in particular, are the GOP-E's weapon of choice against our people like Palin and Cruz, since Allen can literally drive each days news through this thing.
