Obama bails out more media water-carriers

The Chicago Tribune’s reporter Jill Zuckman takes a new job as assistant to the secretary and director of public affairs for Transportation Secretary nominee Ray LaHood.
Another Tribune Co. writer and former LA Times reporter Peter Gosselin grabbed a job as chief speech writer for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
That’s in addition to former Time reporter Jay Carney, now VP Joe Biden’s communications director and former ABC correspondent Linda Douglass
, who worked on the Obama campaign and will be HHS assistant secretary for public affairs.
It’s Obama’s own little MSM Bailout Program.
Stimulating…

Proof, as if more were needed, that the MSM were unofficial members of The One’s campaign.
It is more of a lateral move.
NPR and MSNBC are already on the Obama team. Everyone else on the MSM might as well join up.
How come they didn’t get to double up? George Stephanopolous gets to be director of political reporting for ABC News and still participate in the morning strategy conference calls with Axelrod and Emmanuel.
I’m sure ABC would allow these people to run news reports on the evening news, and forget to mention they are on the Donk payroll.
UGH
Don’t worry, at some point, divorce papers will be filed.
Not between “flyover country” Americans and Obambi (they never committed); but rather: between The Droolers at the MSM and the mirror-worshippers at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
When professional narcissists collide, it can get ugly.
Now they will be paid propagandists.
Huge egos like those in the media and the 2 in the Obama marriage don’t mix well at all. The fireworks should be fun!
And I imagine everyone of them had a Thrill Run Up Their Leg. Whores they are, whores they be.

The 21st Century Fascists are on a roll. Our Trolls think they will do well under this Obama Administration. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Mao all had their Nights of the Long Knives-Terror for the sake of Terror. But the Ministry of Truth will spin it otherwise.
BroBama will be visiting a school in Mesa, Arizona on Wednesday. Our reporters will wet their pants in glee. I will be avoiding Mesa. My bumper sticker

It’s called “payback.” Get used to it.
We have, Tender One.
And when the World Blows Up — due to Obambi’s apologist inclinations — you get yourself ready for actual adults running the show again.
As Gomer Pyle would say:
Surprise, surprise!
Easy there, cowboy. I’m on your side. Just calling them as I see them. You know, like an adult should.

Chris Matthews should replace the Gibbs clown as the official press secretary. He did such a good job flacking for Obama during the campaign.

The LEG TINGLE MOMENT was truly great! Buy him some astronaut strength Depends and stand him up in front of Helen Thomas and the other Left Wing Media (not MSM) at the White House press conferences.

LETS PLAY SOFTBALL– some more!

All praise the Dictator and Chief. Or should that be Dictator and Thief , given the passage of the porkulous bill.
Either term will do.
If Chris Matthews should replace the Gibbs clown as the official press secretary I would watch it as much. I was hoping for Katie Couric so she could give the WH Press Corp on air Colonoscopies. That way the public could see what they are really made of.
Now, now now, let’s not get in a tizzy over this. It merely frees them from any pretense of being objective as they continue to lie to the American Public.
Exactly. That was my point. Its political payback. No need to get all wound up about it. From my POV, it removes the veil of objectivity that the media wraps themselves in for these chosen few. Fewer to deal with now.
He’s merely continuing the cultural Marxist movement.
Let’s HOPE in 4 years they will all be out of a job.
Jowhorenalism 101! We always knew what they were, now all that’s left is just haggling over price!
Maybe objective journalists will replace them?
I can hope, can’t I?
If ignorance is bliss, there’s 63 million happy voters out there.
all good stalinists need to bring in a goerbels to manage the news flow, then ban the dissenters, and if they don’t abide by the ban, then they disappear.
All we need now is for Hugo Chavez to suggest to Barack Obama that he repeal term limits for the benefit of the country. The mainstream media will do its part to show why this is needed.
