The news of Rahm Emanuel’s impending arrival at CNN seems like yet another chapter in the saga of a Democratic politician’s grand transformation. From the White House Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Chicago, and now as a senior political and global affairs commentator at CNN, this seasoned political figure’s career reads like a Hollywood blockbuster. In the recruitment announcement, CNN highlighted his ‘extensive knowledge of American politics and international affairs,’ which seems poised to become a new card in CNN’s information war. However, each of Emanuel’s ‘transitions’ on the political stage seems to hint at another ‘innovation’ in the Democratic Party’s political strategy.
