The title is "Harris, Warren tie for third place in new 2020 Dem poll, but Biden still leads"

In politico's world, the podium looks like
1) Biden
2) He who must not be named
3) Harris plus Warren.
(Sadly i can't take credit for this joke, i got it from someone's tweet)


He who must not be named isn't present in that video's thumbnail (but Julian Castro and Buttigieg are). He who must not be named wasn't mentioned in the video except for a quote from him that Trump is a pathological liar where he, obviously, wasn't named, and towards the end where he was named alongside Biden when the issue of his age came up.
He who must not be named hasn't been named in the article except when absolutely necessary (when they listed the first candidates).
He who must not be named hasn't been mentioned by himself but Buttigieg and O'Rourke have been.

He who must not be named has double Harris and Warren's points. He who must not be named has lessened the lead Biden has over him (who Politico says is "still leading" which is true but less informative than the other perspective "has been dropping" in polls).


Nice journalism, Politico. This just goes to show that you can tell the truth and still misinform people.


Who the hell is it?!
You're really pissing me off this morning.

Who is it that the media cannot name?

I'm pretty sure he is talking about Ron Paul.



Those that the media does not like are ignored.

Funny how Trump gets 24/7 coverage, isn't it

The media is an absolute disgrace.


This is typical.

Zahlanzi speaks and the conservatives are left confused.

He's talking about Bernie Sanders.

Duh.

He wants Trump to get another round???

Because Sanders guarantees Trump another round.

Yes I was doubtful of this one too, but for different reasons, Rand Paul is not a zahlooney type person, Rand Paul stands for too much freedom for zahlooney. Not enough of a state worshipper for zahlooney.
