Barack Obama’s promise of saving and creating jobs has begun very close to home – in his own administration. And those jobs seem to lean heavily in the favor of the mainstream media who aided in his catapult to fame and fortune – and the Presidency.
As the list grows, this from Brett Bair, of Fox News:
Reporting for Duty
Another member of the mainstream media is joining the Obama administration. Jill Zuckman of the Chicago Tribune will serve as Transportation Secretary Ray La-Hood’s assistant and director of public affairs. Zuckman is the second Tribune company reporter who has accepted a role in the new administration this month.
Peter Gosselin — who previously reported for the Los Angeles Times — left to become chief speechwriter for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Former Time Magazine Washington bureau chief Jay Carney is now Vice President Biden’s communications director.
And CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta is said to be among the top candidates to become the next surgeon general.
Stay tuned for updates. Will Bill O’Reilly be the next addition to the Obama Administration?

I can see O’Reilly now. Standing over obama in the Oval Office twirling his finger and saying “The spinnnnn stops HERE.” *ROFL*
More job applicants will be opening up soon. I just heard on Rush Limbaugh that a single share of stock for the New York Times ($3.82) cost less than a copy of the same newspaper Sunday issue ($4.)The times stock has gone down 79% in the past year.
It could be that liberal newspapers like the NYT, who don’t care if they get the facts right or not, are feeling the pressure from conservatives who don’t appreciate their tactics. Conservatives, after all, are capitalists, and move the market in a big way every day. Remember the stock market moves on emotion. They may all be looking for jobs before we’re finished with them.
Babs ……..Speaking of the market moving on emotion Rush just said the market is down 269 points with the President signing the stimulus bill today.
In regard to the Times the internet has a good deal with all print media being down.Also being an ex- New Yorker I have to notice each time I go back there just doesn’t seem to be as many Times type readers in the population as there once was.
DDMao, I was just cruising through the market figures today and thinking of doing a post about it. It’s about to hit it’s lowest in 16 years. obama had better hurry up and put his john hancock on that miracle cure of his, or I’ll be broke before the days over.
As Mitt Romney said this pork package “Stimulates government not the economy.” If I remember right Rush or someone said the market has DROPPED over 2000 points since ELECTION DAY.
No, it’s dropped 4000 points since the signing of the last bailout in September!

You’re probable into mutual funds. But… I have not checked General electric (GE) lately, but GE should benefit big. Price has been rocky for some time.
CEO is no good, so of course he is an adviser to o. Guy should be in jail for helping Iran. Might be why he gets along with o. I am looking at GE tomorrow to see if I want to buy. GE has so many departments that will receive government money.

Good luck with that, Bill. I need millions of investors to buy GE, maybe it will get me out of the black abyss I’m in with that company. I’m off $24 a share since I bought it post-9/11.
I only have one mutual fund left, and it’s off 50% from last year.
There’s no good news for me these days. I’ll be a WalMart greeter soon.
Babs/Bill………….General Electric owns that pandering jackassery which masquerades as idealism NBC and MSNBC.I’m sure the tingle going down Chris Matthews and Keith Dobermans leg is the big profit they are going to recieve from government money.
I know, DDMao, but I didn’t know it, or care when I bought the stock in 2001. Now I just wish they’d hurry up and tingle enough to get my money back for me. *L*
If General Electric and thus NBC/MSNBC are receiving government money shouldn’t they be held to the same standards as others who receive government money? I am of course talking about no raises,no corporate jets and salaries capped at $500,000.
Yes, I would agree with that, but then that might be a raise for Chris Matthews. They can’t be paying him that much for his dribble. *L*
Limits apply to CEO. So in theory Chris Matthews could make more than CEO. In a strange way that appeals to me. What a come down for Ceo.
Plus CEO must succumb to the likes of Dodd and Frank. Crooks and idiots. It’s a mad house
