Changing Channels in the Change Administration

From the Washington Post‘s Joel Achenbach and Amy Goldstein:

At the Labor Department building on Constitution Avenue, the new administration means that the TVs in the main lobby are now tuned to CNN after years of Fox News. The portraits of former president George W. Bush and departed secretary Elaine L. Chao have vanished from the walls. But there aren’t any Obama people to be found, much less pictures of them. Obama’s choice for labor secretary, Rep. Hilda L. Solis, hasn’t been confirmed.

And from Dana Milbank:

Gibbs should perhaps be cut some slack; he has been on the job just three days, so short a time that the television in the press office is still tuned to Fox News. But he has surprised reporters with two of his first decisions: Wednesday night’s swearing-in was done in front of only four reporters and without prior notice. Then yesterday, the Obama team’s first White House briefing was held off-camera by officials who were identified only as “senior administration officials.”
