The Trillion Dollar Roach Motel

Round and round she goes, where she stops — everybody knows:
For some Washington reporters and media execs, cheering their team from the sidelines just isn’t good enough: Tugging on a red, white and blue Team Obama jersey is the answer.
That’s the case for a whopping 19 journalists and media executives, including five from the Washington Post and three each from ABC and CNN, who’ve gone into the administration or center-left groups supporting the president.
It’s becoming more and more obvious that the “revolving door” doesn’t actually exist. There isn’t an inside/outside of the government/national media. There’s just one big greedy, grasping glob of malevolence.
All hail the new Pravda! Change!
They used to say “War is too important to be left to the Generals” now I say “Government is too important to be left to politicians”
It seems as though they’ve pretty much stopped pretending at this point. The question is why? The three possibilities I can think of are that they’ve lost any right-of-center audience, so they might as well let it all hang out. Or they figure the jig is up if President Obama isn’t reelected, so they might as well let it all hang out. Or, they figure the game is over and they’ve won, so there’s no need for bourgeois propriety anymore.
My theory is that they’re as stupid as they think we are.
