An FCC Commissioner’s Brazen Dash Through the Revolving Door

Buried by The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News

By Ryan Chittum

The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News show some terrible news judgment today, burying news that FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker is jumping ship to Comcast less than four months after voting to approve the company’s controversial purchase of NBC Universal.

The Journal stuffs a brief inside the Marketplace section. Bloomberg only bothers to give it 124 words.

The Washington Post is somewhat less bad, giving it 400-plus words but burying it on A18 and going with wire copy.
