New CBS veep a right-wing lobbyist

Where's the outrage?

If a network hired some part-time reporter who turned out to be a registered Democrat, the right-wing brain trust would be asking for the network's head on a post.

But CBS hired a right-wing lobbyist for a position no less powerful than senior vice-president of communications. The new veep, Jeff Ballabon, is active in Bob Livingston's lobbying firm and has worked for many conservative public officials. He also raised money for Bush's presidential campaigns.

Ballabon once claimed that Democrats are evil. Later he declared, "Obama is incredibly dangerous."

In his CBS gig, Balloonbrain now oversees all media relations and public affairs for the network's news department.

Some "liberal" media, huh?

How can CBS expect to be taken seriously when it places someone so plainly partisan at the helm for public affairs? Easy. Because hardly anybody knows about it. Hardly anyone in the media has covered Ballabon's far-right links.
