Politico Too Big for its Britches?
Politico got all truthy this morning as they sent out their breaking news alert on Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) finally getting a grip on the fact that he lost his congressional race.
At 5:48 a.m. they wrote:
“GOP Rep. Allen West has conceded the election in Florida’s 18th District to Democrat Patrick Murphy, he said in a statement to POLITICO. The Republican had been challenging the vote-counting process in St. Lucie County.”
Really. TO Politico? Sure, the campaign might have technically sent the statement to Politico, but they also sent the exact same statement to WPTV in Palm Beach, HuffPost, the Miami Herald and to many other media outlets in the country that wanted it.
