Who doesn't love Larry David? Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Whatever Works - all great. He is the somehow like-able misanthrope. But when it comes to a relatively polite off-hand comment on his dislike for Virginia's Eric Cantor, it is hard to characterize that as solid David wit, never mind a serious news story for Politico.
Take a look for yourself. It is mildly amusing, but not news. Honestly, anyone who has ever engaged in a political debate with a friend or relative has heard stronger language. It is G-rated at best.
It really is high time news outlets dig deeper into stories and regain their journalistic integrity. Trying to fill websites and papers with as much gossip as possible rather than with longer, more researched stories degrades once reputable sources and places them on a level much more comparable to that of a tabloid. Research and writing make a paper, not spewing of content.
