Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit...disclosure. Sorry Shakespeare but impediments have vanished for a while now so disclusure of who's married to whom, who worked for whom and who's begat by whom seems a bigger issue today.
According to the online edition of Commenary, "You know those fawning little bios which the MSM runs? Well sometimes you learn the strangest things: “[UN Ambassador Susan] Rice is married to Canadian journalist Ian Cameron, executive producer of ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” Wait. The EP of a top Sunday show is married to a top Obama official? Shouldn’t this be disclosed on air, at least when they are discussing foreign policy?"
This made me laugh out loud as for years these sort of conflicts have run rampant among "unbiased" journalists with nary a discouraging word or a disclosure, a public disclosure.
Did you know that NBC's Andrea Mitchell is married to former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan?
Did you know that Chris Matthews was a top aide to Former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill?
Did you know that George Stephanopolis was a high ranking member of the Clinton administration?
Did you know that David Gregory (Tim Russert's replacement) is married to former Fannie Mae executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, Beth Wilkinson?
Did you know that Bill Moyer's was Lyndon Johnson's Press Secretary?
Did you know that Mika Brzezinski is the daughter of Carter's National Security advisor? And wife of James Hoffer of WABC?
Does the marriage of politics and "unbiased" media bother you at all? How do you speak "truth to power" when you depend on it for your next job or when you are married to it?
