Time's Jay Carney will be Biden aide
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16600.html ^

Jay Carney is leaving Time magazine after 20 years to be President-elect Biden's communications director in the White House, astonished magazine and gleeful transition sources said.

Carney's title will be assistant to the vice president and director of communications. TIME.com's "The Page" first reported his new job.

Carney, the magazine's Washington bureau chief, is one of Washington's best-known talking heads, with regular appearances on ABC's "This Week," "The McLaughlin Group" and MSNBC's "Hardball."

Biden has assembled a team of heavyweights: Ron Klain, who was chief of staff to former Vice President Al Gore, as chief of staff; Mike Donilon, one of Washington's best connected Democratic consultants, as counselor; and Tony Blinken, a longtime Biden adviser, who is expected to fill a senior role on the National Security Council or on Biden's staff.

Sure they want to do this? Wasn’t the alias for the assassin “In the Line of Fire” named Carney?

Carney and his wife, Claire Shipman, the senior Washington correspondent for ABC's "Good Morning America,"...

DejaVu. State Dept spokesman Jamie something (Rubin?) was married to Christian Amanpour during the clinton years.

Well, they need a reliable heavyweight since Obama probably won’t allow Biden to appear in public.

"Is Jay Carney one of those “unbiased journalists?”"

What's worse, he just wasn't a Time magazine journo, he was the freaking BUREAU CHIEF. He selected not only what was covered and how it was covered, but also he was able to scuttle stories and select which scandals would or would not investigated. Until Repubs figure out a way to fight the bias in the media, it's going to be LONG time in the desert for them.
