As another illustration of the conservative media’s human capital problem, consider that some of the people writing for sites like Newbusters are evidently pretty dimwitted:
As NewsBusters reported in June 2007, CAP is led by former President Clinton’s Chief of Staff John Podesta, and the list of all those involved reads like a Clinton administration Who’s Who.
Not feeling the need to keep this secret, Hillary actually bragged to a group of liberal bloggers in October 2007 that she helped create the organization.
Now, according to the Associated Press, she has appointed someone from this institution to a newly-created post within the State Department
For one thing, Todd Stern, the CAP Senior Fellow in question, is hardly the first—and hardly the only—CAP person to get a job in the administration.
But more to the point, in 2007 Newbusters “reported” that CAP/AF CEO John Podesta is the leader of the organization? Really? Does this guy even know what reporting means? How on earth does he get these scoops?
