Title: Politico Publishes False Headline About Rush Ratings

Monday, Politico's "media analyst" Dylan Byers's posted what at first glance looked like bad news for radio talk show giant Rush Limbaugh, who has been the target of a boycott after apologizing for comments he made about about pay-for-my-birth-control crusader Sandra Fluke. Byer's headline reads: "Limbaugh takes post-Fluke ratings hit." According to Paul Bond's reporting at the Hollywood Reporter, there's only one problem with Byers' headline: it isn't true.

I stopped trusting Politico long ago......you cannot trust anything they write.

"Four months ago, Breitbart News exposed a troubling relationship between Politico, a left-wing news outlet that poses as objective, and the anti-Semitic, Soros-funded, tax exempt Media Matters. One of Media Matters primary allies at Politico has always been Byers, a left-wing operative who takes a special pride in attempting to -- like Media Matters -- silence conservatives like Red State's Erick Erickson and our own Oceander Loesch.
