Greenwald builds on this post:
When confronted with their conduct, Politico's Editor-in-Chief blithely claims that this misleading, subservient behavior is his understanding of what "journalists" are supposed to. And it undoubtedly is.
It's true that, two days before printing its latest Cheney article, Politico ran a good article by one of its few real reporters, Josh Gerstein, documenting that Bush waited longer to comment on Richard Reid than Obama waited to comment on the Northwest Airlines incident, but that's only one of Cheney's lies, and debunking it in an entirely separate article doesn't justify printing Cheney's comments without challenge two days later.
I still wanna know: did Allen call Cheney up after the undie-bomber in order to goad a comment out of him, or did Cheney contact him since he is the usual outlet for the Cheneyites.
