Enron: Patron Saint of Bush's Fake News by Frank Rich

[Kber]

snip

Another propagandist with a rising profile is Susan Molinari, the onetime CBS News personality who appears regularly on news shows like "Hardball" and "Capitol Report." As she bloviates from the right about Social Security or the fake newsman Jeff Gannon, she is invariably described as "a former Republican Congresswoman" or a "CNBC political analyst." But her actual current jobs remain mysteriously unmentioned: C.E.O. of the Washington Group, Ketchum's lobbying firm, and president of Ketchum Public Affairs. Were the Ketchum link disclosed, perhaps some real NBC reporter might find the nerve to ask her what other Karen Ryans and Armstrong Williamses might be on the Ketchum payroll. Or not.

3. Rich moves to the editorial page next month

He's going to be a regular columnist a la Dowd or Mr. Krugman. This is very, very good news. So, just wait 'til April.

7. let's hope he just warming up for the big leagues. I can't WAIT to

have him calling the emperor naked in the Editorial. The man SERIOUSLY gets it, as was evidenced by his great Gannon article in the Arts section a few weeks back.
