Why are you hesitant to post a Politico story? I read them now and then and they don't seem to bad to me.
Far left. Their new CEO:
Politico announced its new CEO this week, and he’s a longtime donor to the Democratic Party who also served under former President Bill Clinton.
On Tuesday, the site named Patrick Steel to replace former CEO and co-founder Jim VandeHei, who left the outlet in 2016. Robert Allbritton, Politico’s owner, and John Harris, the site’s editor-in-chief, said in a memo that Steel will start May 8.
“Patrick understands that the heart and soul — the power — of Politico rests on great, indispensable journalism, and the global impact of our reporting,” the memo stated. “Patrick’s arrival allows us to engage with the big questions — how can we grow a publication that has more impact in more places with more products — for a long time to come.
“His arrival adds unique insight and skills to a leadership team that has taken vast strides over the past year,” the notice continued.
Before joining Politico, Steel spent 16 years at the investment firm FBR Capital Markets & Co. and he served in the Clinton White House for eight years before that, where he held many jobs, including special assistant to the former president and as a deputy director of scheduling, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
In the past several years, Politico’s new CEO has been a big-time donor to the Democrats. According to data compiled by the conservative Media Research Center, Steel has given $64,850 to Democrats and nothing to the Republican Party.
