Bad Journalism

I don't know what's happened at Politico. First today, they headline a ridiculous story highlighting the few people they could find who believe there should be no stimulus at all (not like those people were delivered to their door by some think tank and then painted as independent.....)

Now, they've got a headliner up saying (shocked) that Bill Clinton received speaking fees after Hillary Clinton became the favorite for Sec State. (Because, after all, you don't have to book Bill Clinton in advance, right?)

I'm not normally big on media criticism, but it appears that Politico may now be choosing to go the Drudge route, taking anything that's handed over the transom and printing it without context.

So, be aware.....
