Rove to Write for Newsweek Thursday, November 15, 2007 2:12 PM By: Newsmax Staff Article Font Size Less than three months after he left his post as the White House’s deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove has agreed to become a Newsweek contributor and will pen opinion pieces for the magazine and its Web site. Rove will turn out several columns on the 2008 campaign up until inauguration day, according to the Washington Post. In a statement, Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham said: “Newsweek has a long tradition of asking practitioners and opinion-makers to offer our readers the benefits of their experience in occasional opinion essays. “Whether one agrees or disagrees with Karl, there is no arguing that he has been a critical player in the political world with insights and experiences that we think will give our readers something unique.” Rove has not been a friend of the press in the past. Last year he suggested that journalists frequently criticized political figures because “they want to draw attention away from the corrosive role their coverage has played focusing attention on process and not substance.” He also charged that the press has an “obsessive reliance” on polls. And as for media criticism, he told Rush Limbaugh: “If you have to wake up in the morning to be validated by the editorial page of the New York Times, you’ve got a pretty sorry existence.” Newsweek will also give regular space to Markos Moulitsas, the far-left founder of the Web site Daily Kos. Said Meacham: “I’m fully prepared for both the right-wing and left-wing blogosphere to be outraged, which means we’re doing our job.” © 2007 Newsmax. All rights reserved.

JDN Once the media and the king makers, in this case queen makers, pick their darlings the darlings can do no wrong. It all gets passed off as 'conspirarcy theory' which of course not all of it is. An old expression applies here----------where there is smoke there is fire. The other group that has an interest in Hillary is of course the king/queen makers in the Democrat party. Hillary if elected would bring in people waiting in the wings to assume the national positions they are desiring-----including the appointments of the Supreme Court and other judiciary. These are the things that voters don't think about until its too late. Just my 2 cents worth. mj
