Article: "Dem exclusive? Reporters jump ship."

The link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18971.html

You get three guesses as to where those "fair, balanced, unbiased" "reporters" went.

"In three months since Election Day, at least a half-dozen prominent journalists have taken jobs working for the federal government. "

You read that correctly. Some time earlier I wrote that Mr Obamessiah would be beholden to his lapdogs in the American "press" who went into all out cheering mode during the "campaign." And now "...at least a half-dozen prominent journalists..." are working for the Obamessiah. At least six.

To be fair, the article doesn't say that Chris Matthews took one of those jobs. But, also to be fair, he could simply be in the port-a-potty trying to get rid of the thrill going up his leg ... or that other stuff that's on its way down said leg. Remember that? Here's that link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhnynk6XkkU (It's at 30 seconds into the clip.)

But he also did coin the term (I'm NOT making this up!) "projectile victory." And you'll forgive me, I hope, but I can't pass this one up...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE8hcjBFsz4 (It's at 48 seconds into the clip.) "Projectile" victory. I wonder if that was some other stuff "projecting" itself down his leg at the same time the thrill was going up.

But let's return to the first link, shall we? Here it is again: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18971.html

"But conservative critics answer with a question: Would journalists be making the same career choices if John McCain had beaten Barack Obama in November? "

Um....do you really need to ask that question? The answer, of course, is no. You'll remember that the lapdogs savaged Mr McAmnesty and Gov. Palin. There was that SNL skit where they lampooned Gov. Palin and said that she could see Russia from her home (which, for the record, is not what she said.) There was the "Us Weekly" "magazine" article which to many, myself included, was little better than a smear article.

"And while Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, acknowledges that financial troubles may be forcing reporters out of newsrooms, he thinks it’s worth noting where they’re going."

Of course it's worth noting where those "impartial" "reporters" are going! How many studies now have shown the liberal bias in the "media?" And I'm not talking studies by conservative groups, I'm talking Rasmussen studies, Pew studies, there was even a UCLA study that concluded that there was a liberal bias in the media! That shouldn't be a 'duh' moment, but given that those "unbiased" reporters couldn't be bothered to report that, I'm afraid it is such a moment.

Duh. But wait! We're talking about the Obamessiah! Shouldn't that be D'Obama?

"So, would Zuckman have taken — or even been offered — such a job if McCain were president?
" “I have a great deal of respect for [McCain] and have thoroughly enjoyed covering him over the years,” Zuckman said. “But there’s no way I can answer your hypothetical because I wouldn’t know who he would have chosen for secretary of transportation."

Well, I'll partially give her this one. PARTIALLY. While it's true that she couldn't have known to an absolute certainty, she could have made a reasonable guess that it wouldn't have been her. Sorry, this is another 'duh' moment.

And as for the question of would Ms Zuckman been offered such a job in the McAmnesty administration ... sorry.

Duh.
