Interesting article in the New York Times today about Journalists snooping around for jobs with the Obama team, and in some cases succeeding. We have a similar situation, I would argue, in Canadian Journalism. Two of our three network anchors nightly sport order of canada pins, three nationally known journalists have been appointed to the Senate and when it comes to who gets to live at Rideau Hall, well it is simply a question of which TV Diva will be next. I argue it makes us look a little soft around the edges, maybe leads to slower pitches in those scrums and exclusive interviews with the PM. Which side are we on brothers and sisters, which side are we on?
