Lazy %&$#ing Corporate News
Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 04:48 PM by libertypirate
The only thing corporations do is teach people how to keep their jobs.

I comment because I am embarrassed for the corporate news journalists. Can I get a job where I only have to do what the person before me did? Sad really there is more journalist now then ever in history and the lot of them are useless. Well here is another failure I have seen this information overlooked in everything I have read lately. Even RawStory did not catch this, I don't think anyone did.

Our Mr. Gannon has benefited from both of these statements. We need to clear some things up.

6th paragraph
***********************************************
Raw Story "connects" Gannon and McClellan by citing a comment from the discredited reporter who said his only contact with the White House press secretary was to send him a card acknowledging his 2003 wedding.
***********************************************
It¡¦s nice they bring up Raw Story but this is also after the fact and possibly CYA. ¡§World O¡¦ Crap¡¨ they have this little bit from Sean Hanitty¡¦s website taken from program notes.

***********************************************
Tuesday, February 10, 2004

Sean spends a moment with Jeff Gannon, Washington Bureau Chief for Talon News.com. Jeff talks about his daily meetings with White House Press Secretary Scott
McCellan.
***********************************************
The fact that this guy was open about having daily meetings with the president¡¦s Scott a year ago, while not with the previous press secretary is strange to me. I guess it wouldn't be odd when the best you can do is take from others work.

So what's up with the daily meetings with the President's Scott?

lp


And in case you have been seriously incapable of reporting on anything other than what you¡¦ve caught on television. ¡§the President¡¦s Scott¡¨ refers to this. ƒº

Before you go frame this:
I don¡¦t know any straight men that refer to other men as having a pretty face. I personally have not witness this phenomena although I am sure that it does exist albeit not common.

1. I'm trying to understand your post

Are you holding World Net Daily up as MSM? It really isn't. It's a right wing fringe site that make FoxNews look like Pulitzer Prize material.

I agree, unfortunately, that the corporate media is worthless and ceased doing its proper job of informing the public years ago.
