Any journalist married to a politician should be reassigned to another beat nowhere near politics (I’m looking at you Andrea Mitchell).
Any politician married to a journalist should recuse him/herself from any legislation related to media, and should refuse coverage from his/her spouse.
For that matter, any self-respecting journalist who marries a politician should probably find another line of work, like P.R.
As for the politician/lobbyist thing, I have nothing to say about that. Most lobbyists could be scourged from K Street and I wouldn’t shed a single tear.
