VandeHei was upset with Politico for publishing what he deemed a &#8220;snarky, cynical, and inaccurate&#8221; profile about him. The column, written by senior editor Michael Schaffer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-little-too-soviet-grandsons-of-idaho-pastor-slapped-with-13-criminal-charges-for-protesting-lockdowns-with-stickers\/\" title=\"\u2018A Little Too Soviet\u2019: Grandsons Of Idaho Pastor Slapped With 13 Criminal Charges For Protesting Lockdowns With Stickers\">made fun<\/a> of the spiritual-adjacent lifestyle advice VandeHei often shares in his &#8220;Finish Line&#8221; newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>VandeHei recounted that he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/alert-journo-fight-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner-after-party\/\" title=\"Journalists brawl at White House Correspondents' Dinner after-party.\">drinking tequila<\/a> when he saw Kaminski and approached him, putting his hand on his shoulder and calling the column a &#8220;piece of shit.&#8221; The exchange was heated, with VandeHei bragging about poaching two of Politico&#8217;s best reporters and telling Kaminski that he was &#8220;dead to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The State of American Journalism<\/h3>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-tech-companies-mobilize-to-disrupt-texas-abortion-law\/\" title=\"Big Tech Companies Mobilize To Disrupt Texas Abortion Law\">incident highlights<\/a> the contentious relationship between journalists in America.
