Usually the Voxsplainers at Vox.com are the ones doing the Voxsplaining, but today Politico published an article written by Dylan Byers which attempts to Voxsplain Vox:

Can a Vox Voxsplanation of Politico’s article be far behind?

@JohnJHarwood @UpshotNYT @politico Anyone find it odd that one political news outlet is reviewing another news outlet…and not favorably?

@politico This should come with "Sponsored Tweet" or some other advertising label. Pretty self-serving, doing a hit piece on a competitor.

Read POLITICO's visceral delight in sinking the shiv: "Vox not living up to the hype – explained." http://t.co/AKAxJpSkOv

Many already know everything the need to know about Vox, with no Voxsplanation from Politico required:

People spotted something missing from Politico’s analysis of Vox:
Weird how this piece totally overlooks Vox's various errors, misrepresentations, and other falsehoods. http://t.co/pc11DD2FIq via @POLITICO

Ultimately @DylanByers's POLITICO story on Vox is a disappointment. Fails to address its two key problems. 1) comical bias; 2) incompetence.

@kerpen @allahpundit @MattMackowiak Getting basic facts right would be nice. http://t.co/xB7gZztjTG

@allahpundit And the article never mentions the HOWLERS Vox puts out instead of facts.@AceofSpadesHQ

That’s an awful big oversight.
