 For some
Washington reporters and media execs, cheering their team from the
sidelines just isn’t good enough: Tugging on a red, white and blue Team
Obama jersey is the answer.
That’s the case for a whopping 19 journalists and media executives,
including five from the Washington Post and three each from ABC and
CNN, who’ve gone into the administration or center-left groups
supporting the president.
The
left, predictably disingenuous, respond.

Which is
worse, media personalities going to
work for the government or politicians going to work for media giants?
Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch has 89% of the GOP on his
payroll. MSNBC just fired a prominent politician. Is that any better
than a Tony Snow using his communication skills in service of his
country instead of in service to a media conglomerate? [Druj

Don't try to make sense of it; there are too many
convolutions to
deal with. Our ersatz Drudge comes somewhat closer to truth with
this.

There's a
reason
more reporters seem to be moving into government, and
it isn't because of their politics. It's because the newspaper business
has gone to shit, and a lot of veteran reporters are leaving before
they get laid off. |

I will argue that only public disgust with slanted-left news
reporting allowed the Drudges and Free Republics to
proliferate, which ultimately cost them their jobs.
Segue, a related aside— did you know that the word disingenuous (not
straightforward or candid; giving a false appearance of frankness)
only came into popular usage in 1992? It's true. Do a Lexis Nexis search for the
word, and find the sharp upward spike (imagine the Rock of
Gibraltar).
Have you guessed why?
Okay, In 1992 the Democrat Media Complex were desperate to find
substitute words for "lie," "liar," and "lying MFCS," to
describe the Clintons. That embargo was broken, temporarily, when
Bill Safire called Hillary a "congenital liar" [Blizzard
