T-D political editor Hickey in as Kaines new press secretary

But of course the MSM doesn't walk lockstep with the Democrats now do they?

From the T-D article:

"Gov. Timothy M. Kaine is hiring the political editor of The Times-Dispatch
as his new press secretary.
Gordon Hickey, 57, immediately replaces Kevin
Hall, who is quitting as Kaine's spokesman to handle media relations for Mark R.
Warner, the former governor and likely Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate
next year."

Hickey replaces Kevin Hall, former Kaine media director, and former member of that bastion of fairness, and unbiased news reporting the A.P. who's leaving Kaine to become Mark Warners director of media relations.

"The Democratic governor and his new press secretary go back to the mid-1990s,
when Kaine was elected to the Richmond City Council and Hickey covered municipal
government."

Makes you wonder at times just how much politics get's edited, not to mention it doesn't hurt to have people on board who's cronies are still firmly entrenched in the MSM.
