The "burrowing in" of reporters from the hard-left partisan press or advocacy groups into (supposedly) mainstream news organizations has been a topic here: James Sterngold went from being a regular contributor to Mother Jones to being a reporter for Bloomberg News. The latest example is the co-author of the big Washington Post investigation of the intelligence community, William Arkin. The Post investigation front page describes him as follows:
William M. Arkin has been a columnist and reporter with The Washington Post and washingtonpost.com since 1998. He has worked on the subject of government secrecy and national security affairs for more than 30 years. He has authored or co-authored more than a dozen books about the U.S. military and national security.
