21 Journalists Make it Official: Leave News Media to Work Directly for Obama

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Yea right out of all the unemployed folks, administration could not find anyone.

Highly qualified people tend not to be unemployed for extended periods of time. I know that we mostly hire people that currently have a job that they'll be leaving to take ours. Have you ever heard of the old wisdom: It's easier to find a job when you have one? It's true.

You know prob you need some aluminum you follow and believe this administration as any cult follows their leader.

Tin foil is for conspiracy nuts. You should stock up.

When Robert Gates was chosen to be the sec of Defense for Obama, was it because he was getting his secret reward for showing he was pro-Obama?

And you didn't answer my question about Kumar I think you could use some White Castle right now.

In a 60 Minutes special on CBS News that featured a trainer for security at the Benghazi consulate in Libya, a Green Beret lieutenant colonel, and top State Department official Gregory Hicks speaking about security shortcomings in Benghazi prior to the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack that killed four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens, CBS News mentioned President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton precisely zero times.

This is a prime example of how the media is in bed with the Whitehouse......Protect the kenyan enough ... run cover for him and it is time to become a staff member at the White house.....CBS, NBC, and ABC all have spouses/siblings who work in the White house... cozy deal for all involved.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Wow, so they didn't entertain you conspiracy theory, so they are biased. You want to see news that says what you believe, no matter how wrong it is. I doubt you watched this special, or considered what they were discussing, because you only want quick talking points that blame the "Kenyan."

This whole forum is such a messed up place.

there is no doubt that the Democrat Party is rewarding loyal “journalists” with taxpayer-funded positions in the government.

Imagine the horror, the humanity that the administration hired journalists for the position of... journalists!!!

What next? They will hire electricians to deal with faulty wiring, or, perish the thought, plumbers to take care of pipes!

And only last night, at dinner, I was commenting with friends that the kerfuffle with the ACA website would most likely not have come to pass had the administration hired consultants from Amazon, Apple, e-Bay, Microsoft, Facebook, FedEx and other websites that handle extremely large volume of highly complex data across platforms and systems. What was I thinking!?!?!?!?!

The horror! The humanity!!!

The reason for that is because in the military when things go wrong nobody points fingers. A failure at every level is considered a failure by all. It is part of the code. It is quite simple really, however unfortunate for some tin-foil consumers, that our men and women in uniform don't share the penchant for blaming someone else for not doing their job, no matter the reason.

It is the most elementary concept of all: Got your 6. When someone dies it means someone didn't 'got his/her six' and that is no reason to blame someone else.

It was true on 9/11/2001, on 9/11/12 and it will remain true when the next president is sworn in. Get over it already.

Only journalist who were pro-admin.

I guess for dem its difficult to accept that this admin is no better than any previous one.

[JohnR! 5,495]

this admin is no better than any previous one.

Au contraire. The WH has been hiring journalists for many administrations. It has never been an issue until now.

I too share your feigned outrage.

can you share which other admin had 21 hire?

[Harsh_77 718]

Ok will stock up, I am sure just like everything dems you expect this to be doled out too.

[JohnR! 5,495]

can you share which other admin had 21 hire?

Ah, yes.. .Moral relativity to the rescue... It is not that one does it, so much as how often one does it. You should have been here for the previous administration. You would have had a field day with that one!

Anything less than 21 is OK, right?

You cannot produce evidence to support your claim.

[JohnR! 5,495]

You cannot produce evidence to support your claim.

Which claim? The claim that every administration hires from the industries represented in the WH?

Remember: You have a friend in Google!

Remember: You have a friend in Google!

Your claim every admin hires similarly high number of journalist.

Since you know google is a friend and you are claiming every admin similarly hires large number of journalist who has been pro-admin, why not produce the numbers.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Your claim every admin hires similarly high number of journalist.

Since you know google is a friend and you are claiming every admin similarly hires large number of journalist who has been pro-admin, why not produce the numbers.

Is 21 high? In comparison to what? Obviously YOU have data you are not sharing.

My claim was to the effect that every administration hires professionals from the industries represented in the WH.

You are the one interjecting qualifiers such as 'high', 'large', etc. You mention figures, not I.

As I said, you have a friend in Google. Perhaps it would behoove you to support your claim and provide the parameters you established in order to qualify your opinions. It is quite simple, really.
