Now that Karl Rove is out of work (or at least soon to be out of work), the networks will be clamoring for his voice of objectivity, even-handedness, and commitment to truth to enhance their political coverage. Right? Surely ABC News will offer him a job, say, as the moderator of their Sunday morning political show as they did with Bill Clinton political advisor George Stephanopolous, or, if that's unavailable, a job as a reporter, as they did with John Kennedy press secretary Pierre Sallinger. Maybe PBS will give Rove a platform to air his views, as they did for Lyndon Johnson's hatchetman Bill Moyers. Perhaps the San Francisco Examiner will make Rove the bureau chief of its DC news division, since Chris Matthews, speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, no longer holds that position.
Oh wait, I totally forgot, uberpartisans don't belong in political journalism because of conflicts of interest, the appearance of impropriety, bias, embrace of partisanship over truth, and a curtailed ability to be fair. And we all know that Karl Rove is an uberpartisan. So he should look elsewhere for work. And we all know that George Stephanopolous and Bill Moyers aren't uberpartisans because liberal Democrats can never be uberpartisans. They can only be fair, balanced, objective, and truthful--at least that's how they appear to the liberals who hire them. If the thought of Karl Rove in the moderator's chair or in the news editor's corner office makes you cringe, then you can empathize with conservatives who face the reality of hardened liberal activists--mirror images of Rove--in such positions throughout the world of journalism. Bias? What bias?
If there aren't any positions open in the media, perhaps Rove can get a gig teaching at Harvard.
maybe he can go to fox news, but libs will whine because they cant control fox.
Dan you have never written anything on here that I have agreed with more than this.
I heard that Wendy's needs a manager at it downtown Little Rock branch...
Maybe you should apply. Or are you already working at Del Taco?
