The New York Times announced on March 27th that the former White House’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, may be hired by Facebook. The day after, the information was analyzed by many news sources worldwide.

The Washington Post, in its business section, sets the story back into a wider trend, analyzing in a really long article, the relationship between the White House and tech companies over the years. On the contrary, Fox News only report the story in a paragraph in its media section. The same discrepancy can be found in the foreign press (at least in the French one): the main leftist newspaper covers the story, analyzing how the link between the White House and Facebook could affect the tax policy, whereas the right wing newspaper only evokes the story in two paragraphs, underlining the fact that nothing is sure for now.
