More thoughts on Dean Reynolds

Dean Reynolds’ CBS News blog about how he thinks the Obama campaign could be more press-friendly is getting attention.

It’s prompted a few other thoughts.

First, I know that CBS is a commercial network, but, should you really have “sponsored by ExxonMobil” at the top of your blog page? The words “sponsored by” are half the problem.

Second, given that Reynolds only wrote this post after spending a few days on the McCain shift, it makes me wonder if any of the TV news media, or the major papers, have regular rotation policies, to keep their reporters from covering solely one candidate for too long a stretch.
