<title>HuffPost Reporter Rebuts Politico Playbook&#8217;s Finger-Wagging &#8216;Life Lesson&#8217;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-101423" title="finger" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/files/2013/04/finger.jpg" alt="" width="322" height="449" />In Thursday&#8217;s <em>Politico</em> Playbook, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mike-Allen-profile.html">Mike Allen</a></strong> lectured <em>HuffPost</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Peter-H-Stone-profile.html">Peter H. Stone</a></strong> on the rules of reporting. &#8220;PLAYBOOK LIFE LESSONS &#8211; WHY YOU SHOULDN&#8217;T GO AHEAD AND POST A STORY WITHOUT TALKING TO THE KEY PERSON, even if they&#8217;re traveling,&#8221; Allen wrote in Playbook.</p>
<p>The &#8220;key person&#8221; in this case is former Mississippi Gov. <strong>Haley Barbour</strong>. A Wednesday story by Stone cited two Republican &#8220;operatives&#8221; who said Barbour has decided to leave American Crossroads because he disagrees with its strategy going forward to get Republicans elected in the 2014 midterm elections. American Crossroads is a super PAC run by Republican strategist <strong>Karl Rove</strong>. Barbour was a heavy fundraiser for the group and a surrogate for GOP presidential candidate <strong>Mitt Romney</strong> throughout the 2012 campaign cycle.</p>
<p>Stone&#8217;s story said Barbour was &#8220;traveling and did not respond to a request for comment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Allen received exclusive comment from Barbour after the story published. Barbour told Playbook:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The [HuffPost] article &#8230;. has no basis in fact. Nobody at [HuffPost] even talked to me about it. From the beginning of my involvement with American Crossroads in 2011, I repeatedly, consistently and publicly said my participation with Crossroads was to try to help elect a Republican president in the 2012 election. That effort ended last November; so did my American Crossroads effort. I left with high regard and respect for American Crossroads and its entire team, many of whom have been friends as well as colleagues of mine for many years. &#8230;&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Though Barbour denies <em>HuffPost</em>&#8216;s report, Stone tells FishbowlDC he stands by his sources&#8230; <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/peter-stone-mike-allen-huffpost-playbook_b101406#more-101406" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<title>Politico Reporter Embraces Pointless Item</title>

But many writers try not to run items as pointless as this one by <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Reid-Epstein-profile.html">Reid Epstein</a></strong>. Epstein, typically an extremely capable and productive White House reporter, wrote this 44-word post about whether <strong>President Obama</strong> thinks NBC &#8220;Tonight Show&#8221; host <strong>Jay Leno</strong> is funny, which Epstein apparently &#8211;gasp!&#8211; confirmed with the White House.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the White House going to say, &#8220;No, Reid, actually the President hates him, thinks he&#8217;s an asshole and doesn&#8217;t think he&#8217;s funny at all.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, the author hilariously &#8230;  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/politico-reporter-embraces-pointless-item_b87230#more-87230" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<p><em><strong>Anonymous journo to FBDC</strong></em>: &#8220;I helped launch MSNBC and I remember they got rid of <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ann-Coulter-profile.html">Ann Coulter</a></strong>. Which was a shame because she had great legs.&#8221;</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>TIPS FROM THE POOL, INTO THE DEEP END</strong></p>

<p>White House pool reporters are keen observers. They like to include descriptions of <strong>President Obama</strong>&#8216;s clothing, whether or not he jogs up the stairs to Air Force One, signage and so forth. And this weekend <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Reid-Epstein-profile.html">Reid Epstein</a></strong> noticed a woman on the trail who clearly wasn&#8217;t chanting &#8220;four more years!&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Air Force One is rolling for takeoff at SUX at 7:04 p.m. CT. 14-minute motorcade uneventful except for a lady showing the press van her middle finger from a gas station parking lot.&#8221;</p>

The incident occurred at The Sink, a restaurant and bar in Boulder, Colo. From the White House Pool report by <em>TWT</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/David-Boyer-profile.html">David Boyer</a></strong>: &#8220;While greeting people outside, a young woman spilled yogurt on the president. It appeared to hit his pants. The president wiped himself off with a towel and made a wry comment about the Secret Service, but pooler couldn&#8217;t  hear his exact words. He did say to the woman, &#8216;Getting yogurt on the president, you&#8217;ve got a story to tell.&#8217; She said, &#8216;I&#8217;m very embarrassed.&#8217;&#8221; The woman appeared on NBC&#8217;s TODAY show this morning.</p>
<p><strong>Deep thoughts with <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s Epstein</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ted-Johnson-profile.html">Ted Johnson</a></strong>, <strong>Deputy Editor of <em>Variety</em> on why the stars enjoy attending Nerd Prom</strong>: &#8220;I really do think that the appeal is to be there and to be among the political elite. That means something. &#8230;Here, there is a chance that you’re not only going to see people from the White House you probably already know &#8230; but you’re probably going to also see people from the other side of the aisle, the unexpected Republicans who attend the dinner. There are those encounters that probably have a great sense of appeal.” Read <em>Politico</em> <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Patrick-Gavin-profile.html">Patrick Gavin</a></strong>&#8216;s full story <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75555.html#ixzz1t15u5aLF">here</a>.

<p><em>HuffPost</em> media writer <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jason-Linkins-profile.html">Jason Linkins</a></strong> eats the above ham on a biscuit in gravy over the weekend. Why we have to be subjected to this cream sauce vomit on a plate is anyone&#8217;s guess.</p>

<p><strong>Uh oh. </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Hours as a homeowner before suffering an injury requiring an ER trip: 4.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Politico</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Reid-Epstein-profile.html">Reid Epstein</a></strong> reported on Twitter late last night.We inquired what happened and he replied, &#8220;I&#8217;ll live. I&#8217;m sure inquiring minds can be kept busy with other matters.&#8221; (The next lawmaker Epstein interviews should offer that reply&#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m sure inquiring minds can be kept busy with other matters.&#8221; We&#8217;re sure <em>Politico</em> editors will love that.)</p>
<p><strong>Baier Vomit</strong></p>
<p>A viewer to FNC&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Bret-Baier-profile.html">Bret Baier</a></strong>: &#8220;You look tired&#8230;rightly so. Hope you&#8217;re feeling ok.

Women already see him wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Politico</em> Dumbs Down its Hiring</strong></p>
<p><em>Politico</em>, a publication known for its tireless around-the-clock reporting, has just dumbed itself down with the new hire of <em>TBD</em>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ryan-Kearney-profile.html">Ryan Kearney</a></strong>, a reporter known for going slim on facts and using cardboard figures in video interviews. One question for VandeHarris: Are you going to allow this ex-TBDer to send weird rubber dolls and other bizarre tchotchkes to the private homes of journalists and readers around town?

<title>Beat Switches at Politico</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This is one of those memos that&#8217;s likely far more interesting for those inside <em>Politico </em>than those outside it. But here you have it &#8212; four beat switches. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/MJ-Lee-profile.html">MJ Lee</a></strong> moves from assistant editor on the 44 page to the breaking news team. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kendra-Marr-profile.html">Kendra Marr</a></strong> shifts to<strong> </strong>Politico Pro where she&#8217;ll probably enjoy being managed by fan favorite <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tim-Grieve-profile.html">Tim Grieve</a></strong>. <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Abby-Phillip-profile.html">Abby Phillip</a></strong> heads to Money and Politics after a year covering the White House beat and a summer internship at <em>Politico</em>. And <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Reid-Epstein-profile.html">Reid Epstein</a></strong> moves to the Politics beat to help cover the 2012 presidential race.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all.</p>
<p>See the memo if you wish&#8230;</p>
