"Journalists" take jobs with Obama administration
In three months since Election Day, at least a half-dozen prominent journalists have taken jobs working for the federal government.
Journalists, including some of those who’ve jumped ship, say it’s better to have a solid job in government than a shaky job — or none at all — in an industry that’s fading fast.
But conservative critics answer with a question: Would journalists be making the same career choices if John McCain had beaten Barack Obama in November?
If it weren’t so serious, it’d be hysterical. Scratch that, this is still hysterical. Journalism died a little bit in 2008.
