@kausmickey I see why you hate Politico
@kausmickey As usual I agree with you.I compared several articles sent to the DNC with what was published. I never saw substantive changes.
@kausmickey I was just saying this
@kausmickey One of my Slate editors was first person I heard embrace this heresy. Came to think he’s right.
@kausmickey Never covered a local schoolboard, I take it.
@kausmickey I have never let a source see whole story
I often check specific quotes/facts w sources to make sure I have it right.
@kausmickey let’s see these reporters produce a single email with rnc doing the same
@kausmickey Do you really believe that is what goes on between the Dems and the liberal media? Are Republicans also consulted?
@kausmickey Repent.
@kausmickey Dirt bag to the nth’ degree?
@kausmickey I think the AP style book circa 1988 said it should be done for quotations.
@kausmickey It’s bad because it’s not customary. If a rule exists, it must be honored, because it’s a rule. Also, it’s policy…that exists.
@kausmickey Unless you only do it for Democrats, giving them the advantage of being able to get ahead of the story.
@kausmickey @bi_politics What about the content of the story? Like where did all the money go?
