Greg Sargent is a veritable mouthpiece of the Democratic National Committee. Ezra Klein repackages left-wing talking points as an &#8220;economics&#8221; blogger or some such despite the fact that his only credential as an economist is a college degree in political science.Now the Washington Post has put a Mitt Romney blogger on the payroll and everybody is pretty open about that connection.Jenn Rubin, when not pushing out Romney talking points is in favor of freeing traitors, claims to be a conservative covering the conservative movement, though she has nothing in common with conservatives other than hating terrorists. A conservative friend says she&#8217;s best understood as &#8216;Likud&#8217; rather than Republican or conservative. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with being Likud, but one ought to be honest about it. (Please be sure to read this update regarding this reference)In any event, in a profile in the Politico, we get two rather stunning admissions for a supposedly objective blogger covering the conservative side of the aisle for the Washington Post.Couple these two together and one must objectively wonder how the Washington Post can keep her on the payroll without fundamentally changing the description of who she is and what she does.]]>Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2011/10/26/the-washington-post-puts-a-romney-blogger-on-the-payroll-to-attack-romneys-opponents-n40913
