Honestly, fuck Politico. There behavior has been absolutely abhorrent & we're only a few months into this admin. They are thin-skinned, TMZ-esque gossip-mongers, who act like bullies trying to stir up controversy. It's not journalism.

People came out of the whole Ducklo thing aghast at his conduct (which again, was clearly bad), but Politico's behavior was arguably the real story. After getting their gossip 'scoop' about the guy's personal life taken, they intentionally leaked OTR conversations to get revenge.
And it's not just politico. It's the entire wagon-circling media cliq, where they all gang together to protect their friends from any sort of criticism & attack those making the very valid critiques....
At least when they're coming from the Dem side of the aisle. GOP criticism, is to be kowtowed to and taken very seriously, even though there is literally nothing that can be done to placate their obvious bad faith. Truly, our political media is an utter failure.
And I'll just add that they've already completely memory-holed the GOP's behavior during the Trump admin, even though not even 2 months ago they literally incited an armed insurrection on the capitol. Completely let the GOP off the hook.
Just taking their farcical, hypocritical complaints about 'mean tweets', 'conspiracies & such at face value. No attempt to make them accountable for the last 4 years of hell they put us all through. Because it's not about informing; there's a he-said she said narrative to push.
