No Substitute for Real Journalism-the Right whacks Gannon

[Jade Fox]

Not bad considering the source.

Maybe the reason the White House didn't mind looking
the other way when it came to Gannon-Guckert was
the fact that he was only too eager to lob softball
questions at press conferences.

Who knows why this symbiotic relationship succeeded
for as long as it did? Perhaps Gannon-Guckert knew
something about people in the Bush administration. Or,
perhaps some inside the Bush administration knew the
truth about Gannon-Guckert. We may never know the
full truth.

But the whole sordid affair illustrates just why a truly
free and independent press is so vital to watchdogging
government.

What the pretenders did backfired. They have hurt their
own ideological cause more than they know. They have
tarnished the image of the administration they
championed. They have undermined the cause of the
responsible New Media and the free press in America.

a leading Right-wing website.

I'm not sure who you mean by "they".
