Page Text: The bit I find most galling is the "deeper level of corruption," explicated by Hinderaker:
.... Juliet Eilperin is a reporter for the Washington Post who covers, among other things, environmental politics. As I wrote in my prior post, she is married to Andrew Light.
Light writes on climate policy for the Center for American Progress, a far-left organization that has carried on a years-long vendetta against Charles and David Koch on its web site, Think Progress.
Light is also a member of the Obama administration, as Senior Adviser to the Special Envoy on Climate Change in the Department of State . The Center for American Progress is headed by John Podesta , who chaired Barack Obama’s transition team and is now listed as a “special advisor” to the Obama administration.
Note that Ms. Eilperin quoted Podesta, her husband’s boss, in her puff piece on Tom Steyer [the older of the two "fearless" - and some would say, infamous - Steyer Brothers ].
Oh, yes–one more thing. Guess who sits on the board of the Center for American Progress? Yup. Tom Steyer.
This kind of incest is common in Washington. You can’t separate the reporters from the activists from the Obama administration officials from the billionaire cronies. Often, as in this instance, the same people wear two or more of those hats simultaneously. However bad you think the corruption and cronyism in Washington are, they are worse than you imagine. And if you think the Washington Post is part of a free and independent press, think again.
