Earlier this week, Newsweek formally announced that Markos Moulitsas would be a contributor to the magazine and website for the 2008 campaign. As ThinkProgress noted, the folks on the right were all in a dither passing out on their fainting couches over the liberal bias in the media and blabbity-flibberty-floo.Well, take a gander at who the other contributor will be to "balance" things out:
New York--Karl Rove, the former White House deputy chief of staff, will become a Newsweek contributor, offering occasional opinion pieces to the pages of the magazine and to Newsweek.com.Newsweek sure did figure out a way to bring in subscriptions. Too bad no one really needs to read either contributor's pieces to know what they would contain.
"Newsweek has a long tradition of asking practitioners and opinion-makers to offer our readers the benefits of their experience in occasional opinion essays," said Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham. "Whether one agrees or disagrees with Karl, there is no arguing that he has been a critical player in the political world with insights and experiences that we think will give our readers something unique. A great recent example is George Stephanopoulos, who did terrific work for us after he left the Clinton White House in the second term."
