Well the media got Obama elected so I guess they figured they should at
least get paid to spread his lies and propaganda.

:
For some Washington reporters and media execs, cheering their team from the
sidelines just isn’t good enough: Tugging on a red, white and blue Team
Obama jersey is the answer.
That’s the case for a whopping 19 journalists and media executives,
including five from the Washington Post and three each from ABC and CNN,
who’ve gone into the administration or center-left groups supporting the
president.
Those inside the administration hit 14 this month when the Post’s Stephen
Barr joined the Labor Department. That’s a record, say some revolving door
watchers, and could even be much higher: The Post reports that “dozens” of
former journalists have joined the administration, although Washington
Secrets couldn’t verify that tally.
Many are in communications and speech writing offices, most prominently Jay
Carney, the president’s spokesman who ran Time’s Washington bureau, and
husband to ABC’s Claire Shipman. Some joined as the news business
collapsed, many to finally voice their politics, and others, notably former
Transportation spokeswoman Jill Zuckman, because she liked her future boss,
Secretary Ray LaHood, a rare Republican in the administration. That
relationship rocked: LaHood broke through the lower-tier Cabinet P.R.
ceiling to become one of the most well-known Transportation secretaries
ever. She had worked for the Chicago Tribune.
The revolving door isn’t a surprise to critics of the media and Obama. “The
number of reporters going into the Obama administration merely confirms
what I knew and what most conservatives long believed,” said Noam Neusner,
himself one of the few reporters hired as a Bush speech writer. “There is a
vast supply of liberals in newsrooms, they are very happy to support Obama
administration policies if they can get hired and they barely hide their
ideology in the way they cover the news.” Neusner, who I worked with at
U.S. News, said that he too might have been guilty of a pro-Bush bias, but
said correctly: “My editors and colleagues were surprised to hear that I
was a Republican.”
