, Dan Bartlett, has joined CBS News as a political analyst. Bartlett will provide on-air analysis on a variety of political issues, “including at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and beyond,” according to the press release.<\/p>\n

Said CBS News & Sports president Sean McManus, “We’re very pleased to have Dan Bartlett join our team. We now go into the final stages of this fascinating political season with two analysts — Dan and Joe [Trippi] — who have had unique and extensive hands-on experience in major political campaigns and government.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the latest part of a strange phenomenon of rewarding the Bush gang with high-profile opportunities at major media outlets. The Bush White House has been, for lack of a better word, a disaster for the country. From a journalistic perspective, these guys have been a nightmare — embracing almost comical levels of secrecy, propaganda, and media manipulation.<\/p>\n

And yet, the moment presidential aides leave the West Wing, media outlets jump at the chance to put them on the payroll.

Karl Rove became a Fox News “analyst,” a columnist for Newsweek, and a columnist for the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Tony Snow went from the White House briefing room to a gig on CNN.<\/p>\n

Frances Fragos Townsend also went from the White House to CNN. <\/p>\n

Nicole Wallace went from Rove’s office to CBS News (she left soon after to join the McCain campaign).<\/p>\n

And now Dan Bartlett will be an “analyst” for CBS News.<\/p>\n

The obvious joke is to note how not-at-all liberal the media is <\/p>\n

, but I think this speaks to a larger problem of a revolving door between the political establishment and the political media. A guy like Bartlett spun and misled news outlets, professionally, for most of Bush’s presidency. I don’t doubt he goes to the same cocktail parties as the producers of the major networks, but rewarding him, and putting him on the air as a credible media figure , is absurd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
