Washington Post: Family Relations Between Media, Obama Officials Does Not Affect Coverage

Breitbart ^ | 6/13/13 | John Nolte

Let´s start by going through the Post´s article to create a list of journalists married to or closely related to officials within the Obama administration. The size and scope of this is bad enough. But what is most troubling is how high up this incest occurs in the worlds of both the media and the Obama administration: •ABC News President Ben Sherwood, who is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national-security adviser to President Obama. •His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes, a key foreign-policy specialist. •CNN’s deputy Washington

Oh, of course not! /sarcasm....

[autumnraine]

Yes, because typically those who marry are completely worlds apart in ideologues.

[skeeter]

Naturally, the Post, and those in media interviewed for the article, all claim that none of this in any way affects their coverage of the Obama administration. And you know what -- I believe them. As someone who has been watching the media closely for twenty-years, I can tell you that even without all this incest, the media would still be guarding Obama's palace just as aggressively as it does now. Family relations have nothing to do with it.

It wasn't an accident that these people were able to slither their way into these media positions in the first place.

Of course it doesn't. They would have their noses planted firmly between his butt cheeks even without family relationships.

[Yaelle]

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! And his close relatives in the media!

[circlecity]

And this doesn’t even take into account of the revolving door between the MSM and Washington politics. The same people keep going back and forth, working for one or the other.

Our media would be just as corrupt, just as unwilling to dig into scandals, just as obsessed with The War On The WomanParts and gay marriage; just as dishonest, partisan, and lazy were no one in any way related to top officials within the Obama administration.

These relations are not the cause of the media's corruption; they are a symptom of it.

LOL seems John Nolte totally 'gets it'...

[GOPJ]

Lots of tree house folks...

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, what are we hearing here? “We would have our lips locked firmly on 0bama’s buttocks even if it weren’t for family”?

[pallis]

Every Hitleresque thug like Obama needs an inner circle of admirers flattering him. For Obama that inner circle is his media.

[DCmarcher-976453]

It was such a simple plan to co-opt the media whores. I wonder if they will ever feel used.

But when W was Prez and gasoline prices spiked WaPo was one of the first to proclaim it was so W could help his "oil buddies", etc.

Liberal media bias is real.

[MissMagnolia]

Can we spell “B.S.” boys & girls?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Not sure if this is a law or not, but when my wife was in the media, she wasn’t allowed to sit on a jury.

Isn’t it the same thing?

[ScottinVA]

How could it “affect” coverage of this administration? They couldn’t have their heads any further up Obama’s hind end.
