Time magazine's Jay Carney moved on to do communications work for Vice President Biden. CNN's Sanjay Gupta has been placed on Obama's short list for U.S. Surgeon General. Former ABC reporter Linda Douglass was an advisor on the Obama campaign and was slated to do PR work for Tom Daschle at HHS. [audio excerpt here]
Those are just three examples of the "media wing of the Democratic Party," MRC Director of Communications Seton Motley told viewers of the February 4 "Fox & Friends."
What's more, the revolving door between journalism and the staffs of liberal politicians is nothing new, Motley added that, "[i]n the first two years of the Clinton administration, 33 journalists joined the Clinton administration, so yes, there's a history of this."
Motley also discussed the daily strategy/message sessions Obama White House Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel has with ABC's "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos, as reported by Politico.

February 4, 2009 - 12:07 ET by thebutlerdiditI was watching F & F this morning, good job. You guys at MRC always have some of the best segments on that show. Certainly the most knowledgeable. As for the porkulus bill, like everyone here says, it is just payback for votes and cash. Obama isn't worrying about the recession, he is still running for office. He wants to make sure his supporters are right behind him in 2012. Patently dishonest.
