“Politico” itself was a cancer dropped into the World Wide Web in 2007, a huge MSM cancer disguised as an objective news organization that played nice with the right in order to consolidate power.

Then, in 2008, Politico struck and revealed itself to be the most insidious weapon online against the right. It was a brilliant plan and it worked.

The left did the same to blogs. Astro-turfed trolls were created in order to infest the comment sections of popular conservative blogs. These trolls disrupted and propagandized, all in an effort to ensure the American people weren’t allowed to converse en masse without their influence.

Now, for exactly the same reasons, the left has set their sights on social media, and Ben Smith leading the charge makes perfect sense. I don’t know how successful he’ll be, but HuffPo’s co-founder sure hired the right guy.
