ABC's Davis to SEIU
politico ^ | 6/4/10 | ben smith

Posted on 06/04/2010 11:33:54 AM PDT by Nachum

Another jump from the media to politics: ABC News's deputy political director, Teddy Davis, emails that he's leaving the network to join SEIU's already-muscular communications and politics operation.

He'll be Assistant Director of Communications at the giant union, he said, "working with the SEIU team on their political campaigns and policy agenda.?"

The hire is a sign that SEIU's new leadership intends to keep its large Washington footprint.

although I am sure there is far more career stability with the Big Purple Commie Union than with a dying dinosaur news operation

That still doesn’t show a bias in the news media. Why, look at all the ABC News folks who have moved on to positions with the NRA and the Heritage Foundation, such as... um...

Just a change of phone number and email. Fax# will probably be the same.

How can we tell that he’s moved from one job to the other?

So he was a loser at ABC, and he will do what for SEIU?

SEIU realizes they have election year issues and aren’t gaining ground (their candidates won’t be winning at the current rate). So Davis convinces them that he knows how to sell the story better? He’s got a job until mid-November....then they cut him loose.
