Digby notes the marriage yesterday between Campbell Brown, co-anchor of NBC News' "Weekend Today" and Dan Senor, former Bush foreign policy advisor, Republican strategist and Fox News Analyst. He also notes that such marriages between reporters and politicians are fairly frequent, and goes on to say,

There is nothing new about this. I'm sure that journalists have been intermarrying with the people they cover for decades (haven't they?) Certainly it's pretty common today. People need to keep this in mind when they evaluate the mainstream media. It's part of the mix. The Washington establishment works together, plays together --- and sleeps together. They are part of the same organism. And that's why it's valuable to have an alternative media outside the beltway to offer different perspectives on politics and current events. We don't have to face people we cover over cocktail weenies in the evening or over the pillow in the morning.

Congratulations Dan 'n Campbell. May your marriage be as happy as the union of common interests between the GOP and the corporate media.
