POLITICO insisted that it cannot deceive its readers and would not publish anything the president did not say.
Glenn Thrush of Politico was exposed seeking Podesta's approval of articles about Clinton. Even Thrush wrote "please don't tell anyone" and "I'm such a hack".
The consequences for Thrush? He was hired by the New York Times after the election.
It's more like, he wanted Hillary to win so badly that he decided to blowtorch his reputation as a journalist in favor of secretly joining her campaign.
Can you believe that once upon a time, we trusted journalists? Today, the idea is simply laughable. They get caught lying all the time.
Katie Couric revealed she omitted portions of her 2016 interview with Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The self-described "big RBG fan" said she did it to "protect" her hero from criticism. Couric's boss urged her not to cut Ginsburg's problematic remarks about how black athletes who kneeled during the national anthem were showing "contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life, which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from." Couric thought the comments were "unworthy of a crusader for equality," so she left them out.
