Less than six degrees of separation

Earlier, Public Eye reported Athanna Mentzelopoulous - the new head of government communications - is married to Vancouver Sun deputy managing editor Stewart Muir (who ran the newspaper's business/boosterism section). But that isn't her only connection to British Columbia's media-political complex. Insiders inform us Ms. Mentzelopoulous is also friends with Canadian Press British Columbia news editor Wendy Cox. Back when Ms. Mentzelopoulous was working for the Fisher King, Lord David of Anderson, she is said to have been behind a number of (then legislative reporter) Ms. Cox's salmon-related scoops. Ms. Cox is now married to Gary Collins, the minister responsible for the public affairs bureau.

I'd like to see a running list of people in key government positions who have ties to media. That would be interesting, even if it is a "so what".
