DU support needed to expand MSM coverage of Gannongate.

[paineinthearse]

I am aware of just one MSM article on Gannongate, done by the Boston Globe yesterday. It is factual and objective. See it via http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=158x2936 or the original at http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/02/02/white_house_friendly_reporter_under_scrutiny/

I googled the lead sentence and got this "hit":
White House-friendly reporter under scrutiny
Boston Globe, MA - Feb 1, 2005
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration has provided White House media credentials to a man who has virtually no journalistic background, asks softball questions ...

Question: The Boston Globe is a well-respected paper. It is also a part of the NY Times. Why has the Times not picked up on this? Other newspapers?

Take a moment to read the article and contact the ombudsman of your city's newspaper. Explain the history, provide background information about Talon, Gannon and Media Matters, why it is important to preserve journalistic integrity, and request that their paper give the story due coverage.
