Politico appeared to pander to President Donald Trump on Thursday after the White House announced it would cut ongoing federal subscriptions to its outlet.
After years of negative stories, Politico Playbook remarked at the top of the newsletter on the president’s high energy level and contrasted it with former President Joe Biden’s. Playbook also complimented Trump on his preparedness for assuming office, reporting that contrasts its previous coverage of him:
He was ready: Has any incoming administration been better prepared for power? Never mind the first 100 days — Trump’s team had a battleplan for the first 100 hours, and they executed it with stunning efficacy. From the barrage of executive orders to DOGE’s all-out war on government, it has all been way bigger than anyone foresaw. Rudderless and bewildered, Democrats had no idea how to respond.
This guy has energy: Trump might be the oldest president ever to swear the oath, but he’s not slowing down. The pace of executive action has been off the charts. And Trump has made public appearances and taken media questions almost every single day. Each EO signing turns into a pressw`2 conference; every trip on Air Force One an impromptu gaggle with hacks. Trump has dominated every moment of the news agenda. Joe Biden he is not.
The change in tone did not escape the notice of some in the media.
“Politico’s Playbook had some VERY nice things to say about President Trump this morning…” the Daily Caller posted on X.
They would let Trump wipe his feet on their back if it meant no retribution against them. We need Justice, not retaliation or retribution. Justice would be enough to shut these people down. They deserve to be nonexistent. Their trust is gone. Bye bye.

“Interesting timing, eh?” a reporter remarked.
Just shows they CAN be objective journalists, but they WON'T because they are biased and corrupt.
That made me LOL....

So how do you get on the next gravy train? History always repeats itself.
I thought that was a Bee headline.
