Politico and the word journalism should never, ever be used in the same sentence except prefaced by the word ānotā.
Itās produced by hacks for hacks. It is for all the āserious peopleā within the Beltway who are never, ever right about anything. The only thing these stenographers and the corrupt politicians and lobbyists whom they serve are good at is making money for themselves and their criminal enterprise.
We, who frequent many of these progressive sites, are political junkies who yearn for cogent and insightful journalism. Sites such as Politico and the Sunday morning news shows care nothing about investigative, thoughtful reporting. All they care about is their social position in the Washington echo chamber and accumulating more wealth.
They have no moral compass or dedication to the truth. They are frauds, reinforcing each otherās sense of self-importance. This is why the news media is held in such contempt, today.

Yeah riiiight.
I thought everyone knew that Politico were the cool kids., and that cwazy editor guy they hired was such a dork to be around. Oh, and did you know, he was always last to get picked in dodgeball for the company teamā¦'cause heās just that bad at being āold schoolā too.
Neener, neener.

Apparently I do still have some cognitive functions left, I totally agree with your assessments of the media, journalism and especially Politico. I was beginning to think I was just a shrill voice into the vacuum of the universe.

Hell, I would go so far as to say Politico isnāt even as good at journalism then TMZ is these days, and that aināt much. Besides, FishbowlDC has Politicoās turf covered anyway.
The insider description of the relationship between Politicos and Berke sounds like it was built with professional cliches.
There are at least four instances in which the word ājournalistā (and not āstenographerā) is used in this article. I do not have much of a problem with the use of the word ājournalistā, if POLITICO is now deciding to forward its materials to an appropriate news outlet as part of an ongoing process.
Any fool can comfort the comfortable and trouble the troubled!

Old-school meaning fact-checking and not fluffing, I guess.
The fact-checkers are never going to get along and be able to lead the fluffers. Itās a fact. I read it on Politico.

Politico, a legend in their own minds. No doubt Mr.Berke is too decent for that hack operation.

You got the headline wrong.
āRick Berke Reverses Decision to Abandon Journalismā
Either there is something wrong with this Berke dude or there is something lacking in modern journalism that he is searching for.
Iām guessing he will be searching long and hard, like meaning of life searching.
