      <![CDATA[Betsy: I'm of 2 minds on this.<br>
<br>
Of course, no one should be personally begrudged for finding a job in a difficult market.<br>
<br>
By the same token, at a broader-than-individual level, the pipeline between news media and partisan communications should trouble all of us who consume news and desire facts over spin.<br>
<br>
It is fair to be pleased for ACK. It is also fair to criticize a system that uses hired hands to spin or to conceal information in ways that do not serve the common good (even if we understand that those hands are lucky to find jobs).<br>
<br>
We're not merely talking someone's job.
