Horribly Biased Politico Article On Elections

[TheNauseator]

Politico has been exposed for what it is. An ultra-liberal, ultra-biased Democrat machine. They will fail the way media matters and other biased sites failed before them.

[TheModelification]

Politico is the same organization that wants Obama to rule by Executive Order bypassing the Senate.

[ryan8247]

Democrats in the name of holiness I rebuke thee

[RomeoMD25]

The global warming scam passed by Congress. Goldman Sachs is in the middle of it, as usual a potential trillion dollar sure thing.

And Former Vice President Al Gore who will profit from the cap-and-trade plan through his company, Generation Investment Management,

Gore is joined by three former Goldman Sachs heads in their carbon offsets business.

[RexNunc]

Jimmy Dean can kiss my ass.

[lordcron]

Republicans are pathetic but at the same time they also scare up enough votes to stay in power. Once we can get people to think for themselves republicans will be finished.

[LoryLandskipper]

Both sides scare up votes dude. Both sides have dedicated voters as well.

It's actually the free thinking independents that make or break an election. Even though scare tactics seem to be a LOT more present on the right, it's something that politicians have always done, all the way back to ancient Greece.

[blackacadian]

JAROSLAVAGINA stop owning yourself. Cenk clearly adds his opinion on verifiable facts, but Politico's piece is claiming to be unbiased. Fox, on the other hand, often puts spin on unproven suppositions like death panels or Obama's madrasah instead of facts. Take time to understand the overall context surrounding a news article in order to put the information in perspective. There's a big difference between straight unbiased news, opinions on factual events and purposefully misleading propaganda.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

lol stop owning my self. that's a new one. cute, but its wrong.

[clevy911]

Even SNL made fun of people on the right linking a mayor race to Obama defeat in 2012. Its that silly.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

lol tYt complaining about bias?

[FaithNoMore1977]

did you even watch the video or just see the name and comment?

if you did watch it and still don't get it you never will.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

lol yes.

tYt complaining about bias?

your rebuttal please?

[TodReynard43]

TYT isn't a NEWS program.

Opinion programming and news broadcast are severe contrasts.

[Vlogtimusprime]

They never claimed not to be

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

so there's no hypocrisy then?

[Vlogtimusprime]

The Young Turks say that they're giving their opinion. Politico claims to be news. Opinions are of course biased, news claims to not be. So no, there is no hypocrisy here.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

fair enough. so, by your own words then, tYt, is an openly biased association calling another organization biased? please correct me if i am wrong?

[FaithNoMore1977]

two different types of shows.

TYT is an opinion talk show.

Politico is "supposedly" a news show.

news shows are supposed to be unbiased.

[Vlogtimusprime]

This is the pot calling the kettle black, only the pot doesn't try to hide the fact that ti's black while the kettle is covered in soot but thinks claims to be white as snow.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

this is the pot calling the kettle black. the pot is a pot and the kettle is a kettle. both are biased.

[tico8007]

Jersey is full of people who lost their jobs in Lehman, Bear Sterns and Merryll Lynch. Corzine was the head of Goldman Sachs, the bank that remained while the other three went under, I bet all those people voted against him.

[TheFunkyDomination]

Shut up John (or Jon) Harris!

[xxdonaldqxx]

Will someone out there give me an example of a creditable news source that is not biased ? Is there any news source that is biased toward the so called left ?

[ehrengm]

counterpunch

[TJH47]

fox?

[xxdonaldqxx]

Fox ! What are kidding!!!

[TJH47]

lol it WAS a joke

[sjcpal]

The Huffington Post , Crooks and Liars, Media matters ,and the Daily Beast to name a few

[sjcpal]

Fire dog lake is another good source of no bias or a little left bias

[sjcpal]

Politico is not a creditable news source , they lean Right to Far Right , so everything they report is obviously suspect ...just read their articles with an open mind , its obvious

[treid100182]

TYT is da shiznidobam-snip-snap-sam...

Cenk for msnbc...we can remove Chris Matthews.

[LeLimeLine]

Lol, I like Chris Matthews. I definitely prefer Cenk, but Chris Matthews is adorably retarded.

[Sirduckly]

Death shall come on swift wings to whom so ever thumbs my comment down!

[kanzkool]

The President and CEO of Politico is Frederick Ryan Jr. who was an Assistant to President Regan. So Politico is NOT liberal. And Democrats have 58, and if the Repubs keep behaving the way they are, the Dems will hav way more than just 60. So...keep up the good work Repubs.

[emeka1978]

Democrats do not have 60 votes in the senate....and they never will. By the way, politico is liberal.

[theelement]

Let no republican tell you that you are a victim of white guilt. You are not a victim of white guilt, you were a victim of their racist oppressive authority, and you liberated yourself from it. Let not republican tell you that you are a race traitor, or tell you that you are unpatriotic. Let no republican tell you that you should feel ashamed for electing and befriending members of other races. Don't let them scare you away from the beliefs you hold true to your heart. NO VOTER'S REMORSE

[theelement]

The sad part is that they are well capable of regaining control and power in the future. They are relentless with all this misinformation and propaganda. There are plenty of confused easy to deceive voters out in America. It's unfair but it's reality. How should we combat that? Let's not get too comfortable. Surrendering is not an option. We know what is best for the country. They know what is best for the republican party.

[kanzkool]

Its so funny when conservatives make such complete fools of themselves. They put in words like socialism and takeover and wht not. I mean c'mon. Wht is the plan frm the Conservatives? Inadequate and inapt and virtually non existent 2 say the least. And a genuine attempt to provide coverage for all is a huge mistake. Perhaps if they started a war they'd get support from the conservatives. Well,as Cenk wud say-Have at it Hoss. U'll guarantee tht Repubs r a permanent minority for a long time.

[PirateEyepatch]

The conservolosers are going down. They will go from irrelevant to minority to complete extinction. I laugh at their making excuses.

[xxxRightThePowerxxx]

Newly elected Dem congressman Owens will not touch that bloated, bill presented by Pelosi and crew. If he is to have a snowballs chance in hell of being re-elected, he'll oppose the drunken spending binge by the democrates.

[classc63]

He already did.....DUMB ASS! And he campaigned on Healthcare Reform and STILL won!!!! Dude, put down the pipe and catch up on the news!!!!!!

[tehant1liberal]

theres no bias in the article, the fact is the american people handed obama a huge referendum rejecting his socialist policies by delivering humiliating defeats on democrats in some of the most liberal states, the message the dems should learn is that government health care and cap and trade are only supported by a tiny minority of brownshirts (like TYT) and if they want to win elections, they stay on the right side and stay on the right

[PirateEyepatch]

Keep rationalizing, loser. You conservotards are going down, like those people who jumped out of the twin towers on 9/11. Put that in your pipe and smoke it asshole!

[PirateEyepatch]

Don't take my comment personally, dickweed. HItlertold me to say it, while I was praying to Satan while coming up with a plan to make this country communist and sodomizing a blowup doll in the shape of Christ's mother while taking a shit on a picture of Bill Donohue and wiping it all over an aborted fetus.

[snarkwaupaca]

So was I ! What are the chances that two liberals in different parts of the country were doing the same thing. Did you use the Bill Donohue picture with the blue tie? That's the one I use.

[yohaneuano4]

My diagnosis: Democrats failed to turn out or transferred their vote to Chris Daggett, who took a significant share as far as the winning margin is concerned.

[odom602]

oh boy, suddenly, tyt has a huge audience and little friction boy can't handle it! I love it. how tough are you boy? tough enough to give me your address?

[IndigoMisfit]

I can't believe people think the New Jersey loss is because of Obama! Everyone knows NJ politicians are corrupt. One of my NJ friends said her family is democrat but voted republican because they feel the NJ republicans are slightly less corrupt then the democrats. It has absolutely nothing to do with Washington.

[TheDalinkwent]

It is nice to see that some people don't vote for people just because of the letter in front of there name.

[duckmanx88]

in california many democrats initially voted for gov terminator because the democrat counterpart was ridiculously retarded. of course now we regret it since he's cut the education budget.

[DarkMidget15]

you do realize WHY he has had to cut the education budget, right?

the IDIOT voters in California, is why. he has tried many many times to create a plan to dig california out of its hole, but the voters keep shutting it down. stupid californians.

[marley54fd]

Politico is a joke. No one takes them seriously. Fox uses Politico's articles all the time in their opinion pieces. 'Nuff said.

[friction00815]

Huffington Post is a joke. No one takes them seriously. young turk uses Huff Post's articles all the time in his opinion pieces. 'Nuff said.

HAHA! PWND you stupid liberal

[jaroncreed]

umm Friction aka motion aka pulsar...

Cenk writes for Huffington Post, so it's only natural that he use things that he writes about...

Once again the fucking moron 3 face friction... fails

[friction00815]

hahahaha

hey jaroncreed, I know young turk writes for Huff Post. he gives them a shitty blog from time to time so don't spew this bullshit on here like he's writing tons of legitimate news articles for them.

YOU FAIL LOSER

[audadvnc]

Pffft! Politico's article is so much noise. Who cares?

Republican governors are a good idea - they tend to balance out overenthusiastic Democratic legislatures.

[dookdawg214]

I wish Cenk had dug up John Harris' old articles covering previous 'off-season' election results.

[GstateBALLER925]

coupling this biased article by politico with the one that cenk mentioned from CNN the other day, where is this "liberal media" those wingnuts speak of?

[micahgee]

Indeed, its a red herring to make it seem "cooler" to be "conservative"

[elove20202003]

Lets get rid of republicans for good. ZThey are horrible for this country and only serve to keep us a s a country from moving forward. We had to drag them into doing something about aids, and drag themm into doing something about global warming etc. what do they do that serves to benefit americans )...one big 0

[PresidentTeleprompte]

The Young Turks is Not a News Program

The Young Turks is Not News: 2009 Elections

watch?v=J_BC4tnX6qY

[UserNameForYeeTube]

Have TYT ever claimed to be a news program?

They report stuff and comment on it.

[kefkahkefkah]

Yep, thats why they are called a News commentary? if you have read the whole description of what the show is, they dont claim to be a news program, but a news commentary..thats why they always comment on the news.

And yes, they are liberal.

[Strommunism]

Let me highlight what you highlighted, "we have real conversations...." That's basically is all he does. Cenk is just a version of Glenn Beck that deserves his own show (because he's not batshit insane) but couldn't get one on a major network (because he's not batshit insane)

[friction00815]

hey Strom, so what you're telling me is that Keith Olbermann is batshit insane? is that what you're saying?

Keith has a show but young turk does not. MSNBCrap wouldn't take him cuz he's not batshit insane?

sorry dude but your reply is a FAIL

[Trippy420Hippy]

Keith Olbermann new people. Cenk is way better anyways. I like my news to curse, have a point, and not annoy me. Why don't you just suck on some lollipop and calm down. You aren't always right, and you aren't the bigger man for arguing like a child.

[friction00815]

hey Trippy, young turk always argues and acts like a child and he thinks he's always right. don't try to project young turk's immature behavior onto me you loser.

YOU FAIL

[micahgee]

Cenk doesn't make up conspiracy theories like Glenn Beck does ^_^

[DRDNIBOY]

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO SAY PWND IN EVERY COMMMENT? 10? 11? OH OK YOUR PROBABLY 15. YOUR A BIG BOY ARENT YOU? OHHH pwnd! LOL so DUMB!

[friction00815]

hey DRD, if you can't dispute anything I say then don't reply, just go fuck off ok

[Zanmatoou]

they don't claim to be a "news programm". they never did. they comment on stuff the way they want to and never made a secret out of the fact that they are liberals.

[jensen1901]

Politico is getting worse and worse these days.

[lonelygreenteagirlie]

In recapping the NY-23 results there was an article on Politico called:

"Conservatives on NY-23: We didn't lose".

Except they did.

[jensen1901]

HA! They are trying to be like Drudge. Wrong hero to emulate.

[wongdor]

i find it hard to believe politico was ever under the pretense of being real (nonpartisan) news, as opposed to partisan news or news commentary (or theyre just doing a really crappy job of keeping up that pretense)-- cuz pretty much every story i've seen with politico's stamp on it has been obviously slanted in republicans' favor.

[Paulwhoisvegan]

You know, I am getting sick of the stupid Geico commercial that always comes on before the video

[obscene678]

I am a democrat. However, I would like to point that in order for our government to work as intended, both parties should be present. The best laws are made when both sides are unhappy.

[DirkFunk08]

How Politico remains a respectable news source is totally beyond me. That place has devolved into a festering wingnut cesspool.

[Trinnztubefun]

Ugh, I stopped reading Politico ages ago because of stupid articles like this

[phantomofmyopera]

How the fuck did trying to limit green house gas become a "liberal issue"?! Apparently conservatives don't like life.

[stewart0312]

Ever since big oil and other fossil fuel producing companies started donating big bucks to Republicans. Remember their stupid chant - "Drill, baby, drill"

[phantomofmyopera]

It's just amazing to me that right-wingers only care about life when it comes to a cluster of cells, and family when it comes to protecting people from "the gays"

If you want your children and grandchildren to be able to LIVE you should want to do something about climate change.

[morganbath]

Its too late even if we started right now, and you know thats not going to happen. Besides resource depletion is probably an even bigger threat right now. You cannot do much about it, what you need to do now is plan how to survive it. My guess is we wont do that either :)

Human beings are like goldfish.

[Xenite227]

Local elections tend to have very little to do with the national scene. This is reflected by the exit polls in both states were people clearly said Obama had nothing to do with their vote.

You'll notice when Fox talks about this they will fail to mention 60% said Obama had no sway on their vote.

Congresional races reflect much more on the national atmosphere in washington, and we cleaned up.

Politics 90% spin and 10% truth.

[Krumbz2003]

Politico huh?

"Frederick J. Ryan Jr., former Assistant to President Ronald Reagan, and currently chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation, is president and CEO of Politico."

Connections, connections my friends.

[PainAddict666]

I did not favorite this video! I have zero idea how it ended up on my list, this is infuriating. WTF TYT?

[pastafarian37]

they can't somehow add it to your favorites.. you accidentally clicked something..

[xadam2dudex]

everything I've heard from Politico has been right wing leaning

[pastafarian37]

yup. even associated press.

[NeedsEvidence]

Cenk for president.

[sonyavsystem]

Politico is crap.

[DiceWarwick]

Propaganda really makes my stomach turn.

[friction00815]

so young turk has a problem with some guy that's a rightwing version of him. kinda funny but too bad you stupid lib. I'm more amused by the ad off to the right, it says DO SOMETHING! about liberal media bias.

I think we should all join the movement

[Silvertrine]

You've got your own propaganda channel dickface. Do something means telling you victim queens to go fuck yourselves.

[LameGamerTag]

Politico is known for being non-partisan. The article he wrote seems like it has bias to it. That's the difference here. Cenk is not posing as a non-partisan reporter.

[Silvertrine]

Politico is definitely NOT known for being non-partisan. Its the right wing answer to Huffington post.

[TheJudgeMan1]

liberals are not crazy and actullay do something. unlike republicans who are dumb and stand with ideas that almost destroyed this nation.

[DiceWarwick]

at least liberals try to think what is best for everyone. "Try"

[fluffybunny937]

*almost.

I think you mean did.

[TheJudgeMan1]

probably, but at least there were people alive to vote for obama.

[seismicrob2956]

Dude get a brain, Cenk doesn't pose as an unbiased reporter. Big difference

[classc63]

Friction did you forget to take your meds again...why don't you run down to your Mom's basement and get your pills....That's a good boy!

[ActsOfFreedom]

Watching CSpan last night, Politico was referred to by the moderator several times as a source of fact for listeners.

I've had a beef with CSpan for quite a while. Often Dem videos are screwed up and Obama's were unloadable. Look at their BookTV and you'll rarely see a liberal author posted. They give air, though, to "American Heroes" about Oliver North. What a scam.

[F33bs]

C-SPAN a scam? Are you kidding?

Politico is a huge political news outlet, is it any wonder that they publish articles trying to stoke partisan tensions?

This is kind of stupid. Obviously a corporation dedicated to covering Washington politics is going to do WHATEVER IT CAN to make sure the machine runs smoothly.

Cenk is being a little naive.

[ActsOfFreedom]

@F33bs

For instance, CSpan was taking viewer calls-for- or against-- the healthcare bill.

The "for" calls were outnumbered 10-4. Either the call "for" went dead, or the moderator let "against" talk so long that when "for" spoke it had to be shortened by some event. One "for" call snuck in cuz the moderator thought he had the "against" line.

[micahgee]

heaven forbid we realize that most people WANT health care reform...

[F33bs]

I think it's a little absurd I get rated down so much for stating an obvious fact for anyone who is an actual regular watcher of CSPAN.

CSPAN is a non-profit orgnization and has been ever since it was founded by Brian Lamb, who is one of the most impartial journalists in the country.

I just find it a little insulting that liberals (of which I am one) are so ready to attack a network for not airing their views by default.

Get over it. Your view is not the only one.

[F33bs]

Cont.

If you are judging an entire operation by a small window where callers against your views outnumber those in favor, you're either not being serious as an intellectual, or you are purposefully trying to discredit what is otherwise a very reliable and informational news source. (Talking about CSPAN)

Politico is a corporate political tabloid. It's like attacking the National Inquirer for getting a story about celebrity alien bastard-children wrong.

[TheDuckofLaw]

My advice: Look at the scoreboard at the end of the game. Did you lose? Adjust strategy accordingly.

[kazooga1234]

it just shows if u need to win something run to the left i wonder if that means if there is a fork in the road and u rnt sure where to go if going left will also work i usually try to go straight but that has ended me up infront of a tree

[dangerouslytalented]

It is a rightwing news source. What do you expect?

[elitefusion86186]

They do this every weekend, I guess so that they can have some content over the weekend. Makes sense.

[Encyclopeteia]

Bingo.

[Twiztedgoalie]

this video youtube says was posted the 6th....and it just popped up now on the 8th. Why youtube?

[Amsah]

Weekend fail..?

[LightSlei]

Either youtube is denying glitches still or TYT posted it privately and just made it public somehow with it showing up.

[kazooga1234]

youtube has been buggy i mean it has been saying that it has been under maintainance at random ass times
