In an aside to a post about how dismally ignorant Republican lawmakers are about the debt ceiling and what it means, Jon Chait says:
As a journalistic side note, I should point out that Politico has really upped its game and is now producing far more good political coverage than any other outlet, as the large number of my items keying off Politico stories would testify.
You know, that seems to be true. I'm not a religious reader of Politico, and it's not as if they've never run good stuff in the past, but the ratio of solid pieces to idiotic gossipmongering does seem to have gone up lately. Anyone else notice the same thing?
