Time mag’s Carney becomes Biden mouthpiece

In other words, Carney’s new job of running interference for the Democrats won’t be that much different from his old job of running interference for the Democrats.  From Politico:

Jay Carney is leaving Time magazine after 20 years to be Vice President-elect Joe 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.”
…
Carney and his wife, Claire Shipman, the senior Washington correspondent for ABC’s “Good Morning America,” have two children — a son, Hugo, and daughter, Della.

This is the second member of the media elite who has signed on with Obama’s administration. ABC News correspondent Linda Douglass joined the campaign as traveling spokeswoman, and now is working for Obama’s Presidential Inaugural Committee. …

I’m sure, though, that he was 100% objective and neutral in his journalistic role over the last 20+ years.  For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.

Hey, I don’t blame the guy for getting a new job.  With fishwraps like Time going down the crapper on Carney’s watch, it makes sense to get while the getting is good.
