The journalist who broke the story that got Keith Olbermann suspended from MSNBC is a recent college grad who's been working in D.C. for less than six months..

Simmi Aujla was a member of Brown University's class of 2009. She joined the staff at Politico in May. On Friday morning, she exposed MSNBC host Keith Olbermann's campaign contributions to three Democratic candidates in Tuesday's election.

2. Is it clear yet that Politico is the elite's tool?

3. Politico, yep, it figures...

looking more and more like Talon News as it was never mind being a newer version.

4. Jeremy Scahill Tweet: I smell a Pulitzer!

So she can Google. Whoopie-do.

Nobody else did it because they didn't give a damn.

She didn't "expose" shit. It's public record.

5. I told her I'd be watching for the results of her "investigation"

and her reports on the campaign contributions of ALL anchors and senior reporters and editors. Why not list the campaign contributions of the owners of these news organizations? If she doesn't, she's just a partisan flack being used by the GOP. The same MSM amplifying this story are craven hypocrites. We know they all contribute. The White House Press Corps, as a group, contributed to Bush in 2004. Yes, the WH Press Corps contributed to Bush's re-election campaign. It's all readily available online. Google it or go to Open Secrets.org

I suspect Aujla was assigned this article and she happened to hit pay dirt. But it is an oddly one-sided attack article on just one anchor without even giving a cursory glance of any other media contributors. Certainly looks like a GOP operative to me.

Politico - the spiffed up Drudge Report.

6. I wouldn't wipe my ass with 'Politico'.

Fuck them. Digging up dirt where there is none.

8. Joe Scarborough joined Politico, too. I wonder if he secretly had a hand in this. n/t
