Son of Obama White House Propagandist Hired by Other Obama Propagandists
In a shocking predictable turn of events, Ethan Axelrod (son of David Axelrod) has been hired by the Huffington Post. David Axelrod is the brains behind the inspiring yet meaningless campaign slogans of Barack Obama (Yes We Can) and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (Together We Can).
The Washington Post reports:
“Ethan Axelrod is joining the Huffington Post, the liberal Web site that has been largely supportive of President Obama. His dad, now a White House senior adviser, was a Chicago Tribune reporter until he quit in 1984 to help run a Senate campaign (and still has a soft spot for newspapers, though his old one is in bankruptcy).”
“I’ve been interested in journalism for a while,” the 22-year-old Axelrod said Tuesday. “I heard through my father that they were expanding, so I applied for it.”
Congratulations on your new job Ethan. I’m sure your familial connections had absolutely everything nothing to do with your new career path. Let’s roll out the green carpet.
