Richard Grenell, a political consultant and media commentator reported today via Twitter that NBC’s Mark Murray, senior political editor for NBC News wife, Sasha is an Obama appointee but never publicly disclosed it.
Grenell asked Murray yesterday if he was married to an Obama appointee and why it was not disclosed.
Murray told him that he hasn’t publicly disclosed that his wife is an Obama appointee because he told NBC officials and they didn’t care. Murray also told Grenell that his first wife worked for Ray Lahood so disclosing her as an Obama appointee wasn’t necessary.
Murray’s wife, Sasha Johnson who will assume Obama’s FAA Chief of staff position is also a former CNN producer and Assistant to the Secretary and Director of Public Affairs with the Department of Transportation.

Over at NBC, you have Mark Murray, who is the senior political editor over there. He went on MSNBC to say, you know, this story is not going to last the summer.”
“You know, the irony about this is that Mark Murray, NBC senior political editor, he’s married to an Obama appointee. This Obama appointee is now the chief of staff at the FAA. So when you have someone at NBC kind of dismissing the story and trying to really push it off the front pages, you now know why because he’s getting pressure at home.”
A short time ago, Grenell stated on Twitter that he called NBC for comment on the undisclosed relationship between its senior editor and an Obama appointee and they have yet to call him back.

Sasha Johnson leaving CNN
EXCERPT
“CNN is losing a great friend and colleague,” said CNN Political Director Sam Feist. Johnson started at CNN’s Washington bureau in August of 1998. She served first as a researcher and then associate producer for CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider. Johnson then moved over to the show production side, first as a producer and then a senior producer for Judy Woodruff’s Inside Politics. Since 2003, Johnson served as a senior political producer, working alongside Senior Political Correspondent Candy Crowley and Political Producer Mike Roselli through two presidential campaigns.

1. CNN and ABC Vets Join Obama’s Team, So Revolving Door Up to Ten
Following the path of CNN Middle East correspondent Aneesh Raman and producer Kate Albright-Hanna, who both jumped aboard the Obama campaign last year, senior political producer Sasha Johnson this week announced she’s leaving the network’s Washington bureau to take the Press Secretary slot at the Department of Transportation. She won’t be the only media vet in that shop. As The Politico’s Michael Calderone noted Monday night in reporting Johnson’s move, former Chicago Tribune Washington correspondent Jill Zuckman “already headed to Transportation in February, becoming Director of Public Affairs and assistant to Secretary Ray LaHood.” Plus, in the past month or so, two other DC journalists accepted administration positions. ABC’s long-time Justice Department correspondent, Beverley Lumpkin, in April joined the very department she covered for so many years, prompting a Washington Post blogger to quip on Tuesday that she’s “turning sources into colleagues.” Speaking of the Washington Post, its former science reporter, Rick Weiss, is now advancing Obama policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology. So far, by my count, at least ten mainstream media journalists have revolved into positions toiling for the Obama campaign, transition or administration.

On the flip side, we almost forgot about WaPo reporter turned Biden flack Shailagh Murray.
