From Fred Siegel at City Journal:
In truth, there has been no such thing as a “mainstream” press since 2008, when, in a manifestation of the country’s political polarization, much of the media enlisted in the Obama campaign. The presidents of CBS and NBC have siblings on Obama’s national security staff who helped orchestrate the catastrophe at Benghazi. Key members of the White House staff are married to prominent national reporters for ABC and CNN. The morning news at CNN is anchored by Chris Cuomo, son of former New York governor Mario Cuomo and brother of current New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who has considered a presidential run. George Stephanopoulos, the anchor for ABC’s Sunday morning show, is a former senior advisor to President Clinton and maintains a connection to the Clinton Foundation.
And in related news, Politico reports that:
Four of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides appear to have [hired] the same ex-Justice Department attorney to represent them in the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s private email server.
Beth Wilkinson, a well-connected former assistant U.S. attorney … is listed as representing three of Clinton’s top State Department staffers, according to a congressional letter…. A fourth Clinton aide, Philippe Reines, is also represented by Wilkinson, according to sources familiar with their representation….
By tapping Wilkinson, the Clinton confidants have selected someone with deep ties to Washington politics and the DOJ. The 53-year-old wife of former “Meet the Press” host David Gregory is a Clinton donor and Democratic contributor, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
