I can see it all now;

"After a highly succesful career reporting on the Middle East crisis of 2008/9, turning the tight nit media on it's head, Joe went into the political spectrum- and after one of the most spectacular rises within the Republican party system of the milenia became the 45th President of the USA with vpilf Palin at his side."

That'd be 'bad news' maybe?
