New Okay, be that way.

Excerpt:

CBS News in particular seemed to have no qualms about some fairly blatant conflicts of interest, having Rita Braver and Linda Douglas cover the White House even though they both had financial relationships with the Clinton administration.

Braver's husband, Robert Barnett, who was the Clintons' Whitewater lawyer when Braver was assigned to the White House beat in late 1992, reportedly recused himself from his role as first-family attorney.

But in July 1993, Barnett was still up to his eyeballs in the Whitewater scandal, traveling to the White House after Vince Foster's death to collect papers investigators later said had been removed surreptitiously from Foster's office.

Barnett continued working for the Clintons in another capacity, as book agent, successfully negotiating $20 million worth of book deals for Bill and Hillary \ufffd beginning with Mrs. Clinton's 1998 screed, "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy" and continuing through Mr. Clinton's "My Life" last year.

Unless Barnett kept his Clinton paychecks isolated from the household budget, Ms. Braver likely benefited from the White House jackpot more than Williams and Gallagher put together \ufffd times 10!

If Ms. Braver ever mentioned her financial relationship to the White House during her news broadcasts, we missed it.

I say:

Is this sort of thing a big deal? I dunno. You decide. But no double standards. If it's a big deal when it happened under one admnistration, it's a big deal when it happened under the other. And if it's not, it's not.

By the way, Kos is very, very snarky these days. I imagine his boss Mr. Soros has been chewing him out on a regular basis ever since November. "Just what the hell do you think I pay you for? I want results, dammit!"

New That innuendo is too weak to even be called "lame"
None of the people mentioned in your linked article were actually paid by the Clinton administration to push propoganda for any administration program, like the three reporters were caught doing under "I've Got A Mandate" Dubya. Spouses doing business with the administration don't count.

Nice try, though. Keep up the "Everything's Clinton's Fault" neocon whining.

New Vast difference of degree
Is this sort of thing a big deal? I dunno. You decide. But no double standards. If it's a big deal when it happened under one admnistration, it's a big deal when it happened under the other. And if it's not, it's not.

There is a vast difference of degrees here. Having a spouse or other close relative that works for the people your supposed to be reporting on is cheesy, and should be avoided. Directly taking money from them voids any claim you had to being an independent journalist, instead you are a markting person.

That the right wing hacks involved in this situation don't seem to understand the difference between being a advertising expert and being a journalist is part of the problem.
