MIGHTN'T IT HAVE BEEN HELPFUL...:

Newsweek’s Howard Fineman to Join The Huffington Post (JEREMY W. PETERS AND BRIAN STELTER, 9/19/10, NY Times)

Howard Fineman, one of the more recognizable pundits on cable television and a correspondent for Newsweek for 30 years, is leaving the magazine to become a senior editor at The Huffington Post.

...for him not to pretend to impartiality for those 30 years when he's a partisan Democrat? There's nothing wrong with media members being political creatures--indeed it would be odd if they weren't--just be open about it.
