The news outlet Politico has decided that the Republican National Committee (RNC) and its chairwoman, Rona McDaniel, are too “dishonest” and “untrustworthy” to be asked for comment on news stories, even if they are central characters in those stories.
Politico’s top political reporter Tim Alberta informed the RNC of the outlet’s new standards in an email after an RNC spokesman complained that Alberta had not reached out for comment before publishing an over 7,000-word magazine piece on the GOP’s ongoing effort to challenge Michigan’s election results, according to The Washington Post. The piece, titled “The Inside Story of Michigan’s Fake Voter Fraud Scandal,” mentioned McDaniel by name 18 times.
