Conflict at CNBC's New Dennis Miller Show Dennis Miller’s new CNBC political talk show hasn’t even debuted yet, but it’s already mixed up in a serious conflict of interest. The conflict-- brought to our attention by weblogger Roger Ailes (no relation, apparently, to the Fox News chief)-- began with the show’s hiring of Mike Murphy as a consulting producer. The problem isn’t that Murphy is a well-known Republican campaign consultant whose past clients have included John McCain, Jeb Bush and the 1992 Bush/Quayle campaign; the problem is that Mike Murphy already has a job. Murphy, who was a key political advisor in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2003 campaign for governor of California, still works for Schwarzenegger. Currently Murphy is a leader of Governor Schwarzenegger’s California Recovery Team and Californians for Schwarzenegger, two groups created by the governor to maintain his political image, raise money and promote his policies (AP, 1/2/04). Indeed, Murphy has become so identified with Schwarzenegger that a January 21 Los Angeles Times article referred to him as “Schwarzenegger's chief strategist.” The website of Murphy’s political consulting firm, DC Navigators, lists the California Recovery Team (which has been in operation for less than a month) as a client.
