Politico set off quite a few Biden supporters Tuesday by running an article critical of the president’s withdrawal from Afghanistan:
NEW: The West Wing is looking increasingly disconnected from reality as the Biden White House strives to project a sense of calm competence — even as the Taliban tighten their grip on Afghanistan and chaos grips the airport

Politico is now Tass and Pravda. Apparatchik for TFG and GQP.

But that’s not the only reason Democrats should freeze out Politico; Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff has been keeping tabs on not only Politico’s reporters but even former employees.

Whoa, a reporter shared that New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop … the one that was obviously Russian disinformation and was censored by Twitter.

TJ Ducklo “deserves to have his ass beat” for talking to a woman like this — definitely a right-wing call to violence.

Someone’s butthurt.
Politico: does a little bit of occasional journalism unfriendly to Democrats.
Democrats: https://t.co/US2QWcxlR4

Well when anything to the right of Lenin is "right wing"… then sure I guess.

This is a shocking attack on the free press. I’m literally shaking right now. My 3 month old son asked me what was wrong and I couldn’t even answer him!

How far left do you have to be to consider Politico right-wing?

Truly hilarious. Boycott Politico because they’re not reporting the way we want them to.
Do they teach that only one side is to be covered in journalism school now?— VMW (@Vwms63) August 24, 2021
You can't handle scrutiny or questioning or accurate reporting on your party's clusterf*cks and failures, for some reason you think a safe space from reality will solve the problems you people create …. PATHETIC and delusional

We’ve noticed that people like “the media’s” Jennifer Rubin and Joy Reid have been taking “the media” to task recently for reporting on the mess in Afghanistan. Even CNN’s Jake Tapper is noticeably cranky about the mishandling of the withdrawal. Time for Democrats to freeze out all media.
