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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
