1. If anything, Gannon is helping it have legs.

[Guckert]

2. Blow Jobs for Karl Rove helps too.

7. LOL!

4. Mr. President!

How could we have fallen so far in just 4 years? Clinton was a True Statesman and a wonderful leader for our country!

[merwin]

11. What are you talking about? Bush is the greatest president ever!

At least, the only one who has been illegitimately selected twice in a row.

[Cha]

3. "Semi-imposter"?

Where is guckert not an imposter?

I'm shocked any msm is reporting on this..it's not in their own best interest because they are all Imposters!

LA Times wins the award for WORST reporting of the mainstream media
by John in DC - 2/25/2005 10:11:00 AM

Yes, the Los Angeles Times ran a story today in which 6, count 'em, 6 sources were cited defending Gannon, and ZERO sources were quoted from the other side. And apparently, it's now "gay activists" who exposed Gannon (Markos is gay?!), rather than the top progressive blogs.

I have not seen this shoddy a piece of journalism in years. No one, no one, cites 6 sources on one side of a controversial story and ZERO sources on the other side. Did this reporter even call me? No. Did she contact the Kos people? I don't know, but if she did, she'd know that they're not "gay activists."

Truly one of the worst, shoddiest pieces of journalism I have ever seen. The mainstream media has decided they do NOT want to report this story. Absolutely pitiful.

6. What still amazes me

is that NO one from his past has tried to cash in on his infamy - so far, he doesn't seem to have a past. I was in a department store tonight, and scanned the tabloids - this isn't on the front page of ANY of them - I'm pretty sure because they're all owned by Murdoch. This would be plastered all over, everywhere, if not for that. The control of the media is so frigging obvious, and scary at the same time.

8. I'm surprised that none of his hookups ever came out to

say that they did it with Guckert.

[parasim]

12. Really, especially when there's good money in it.

10,000 smackers to be precise:

9. Where is Media Whores on Line when you need it?

If ever there were a more apt webname, that would be it.

[lovuian]

10. I mean Guckert does he have a degree in Journalism cause

there are lots of people who would have died to get in the Press Corps like he did!!!

[Neshanic]

13. Press Corps.."Scram, we're working this side of the street".

A room full of people who have sold out. Identity crisis?

I think not.

[leftchick]

15. think of the people in that press room daily with jimbo....

All of those WH reporters (stenoographers) for the major newspapers and tv news. Why are they all so quiet??? Hmmm....

[Disturbed]

16. The Lamestream Media is becoming less relevant everyday.

Soon the only ones that give them any cred will be the folk with room temp IQs.
