"Whaaaat A Coincidence!!"
  OH MY GOD.png
Look it up - it's True!
 
        Did you know these connections? 
ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former  Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney
ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary
ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s  Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood
CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
 And now you know why it is no surprise the media is in Obama's pocket.
 
Members of Obama Administration are Related to People in the Mainstream Media-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor:  This is a forwarded email that alleges that some members of the Obama Administration are related to high ranking members of the mainstream media.  Some versions of this eRumor are two graphics showing the relationships of Tom Nides, Ben Rhodes, Elizabeth Sherwood and Jay Carney.
The Truth:  
According to a May 11, 2013 article by News Busters, "
CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the National Security Council (NSC) on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi."
The article also said that ABC president Ben Sherwood and Special Assistant to Barack Obama, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall are brother and sister.
Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Tom Nides, who turned in his resignation in February 2013 is married to CNN executive Virginia Moseley, according to a November 18, 2012 article by MSNBC.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is married to ABC News contributor Claire Shipman, according to her official biography on the ABC News website.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
There's no link between the media and the White House, is there???

Keep in mind, the Obama appointments (unelected leaders) took place after he was elected (of course). The appointees' connections already existed in the media.

Here is my point: Barry appointed the folks he was ordered to appoint. His bosses tell him what to do. Washington DC is corrupt to the core. It is totally owned by the elites who control the media corporations.

These cases can't be a coincidence. This happened on purpose.

That's why the call it the corporate owned main stream media. No hardball questions, and they only report what the government and corporations want you to hear. No fairness and very left leaning.

Would be nice it there was some, 'ya know - evidence - here instead of innuendo of...whatever.

The media is "in the pocket" of every sitting president. Please note that the fetid, ancient ooze that forms the semi-human shape known as Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush, who really was once the President of the United States, (that wasn't a bad dream or an acid flashback) are still walking around as free men, when any decent independent media would have hounded them for their war crimes.

Odd that they left out Supreme Court Justice Clarence "Slappy" Thomas who is married to the head of one of the largest Tea Party Organizations and a top official with the Federalist Society, yet Slappy has never recused himself in cases before the court that bore directly on his wife's activities, specifically, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

Or Justice Antonin Scalia who went on hunting trips with Dick Cheney, attends events paid for by conservative financier Charles Koch whose company is a major Reich-wing contributor, and has never recused himself in the case of Cheney v. USDC for District of Columbia, nor from Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

Or Justice Samuel Alito who attended an American Spectator fundraising gala whose PAC opposed Obama’s healthcare program, the constitutionality of which would be decided by the court in Sissel v. United States Department of Health & Human Services, for which Alito never recused himself.

And then there's Fox's Howard Kurtz (with his myriad conflicts of interest) and his wife #2, a Full-Metal-Reich-wing Republican operative who has written for National Review, was a spokesperson for the Arnold Schwarzenegger, helped run anti-affirmative action, anti-bilingual education, and anti-immigration, and anti-gay marriage campaigns. Howie frequently writes about her former and potential clients and that conflict of interest is never mentioned.

Odd that this Reich-wing IQ-lowering rant never mentions that.
