> so they're going to be pretty un-generous with their analysis This does not follow at all. People really can be fair and dispassionate on topics they disagree with. I can, for example, write a "why you should use PHP" article even though I don't like PHP. I think the automatic assumption that people will be dishonest to fit their political leanings says more about your mindset than Politico. Or rather: alleged political leanings since it's not my impression that Politico is all that left-wing, but that's a secondary point.
