Boy did they spin that one! CNN/Gannon...

[slor]

it was incredible...backed poor gannon all the way and called the liberal blogs into suspicion for prying into his personals! Nevermind that he posted his "personal" pics online!

[Skink]

1. No Plaime?

[Nite Owl]

These shitheads can dish it

out but they are such sissies when it's them that get caught. Hypocrits the bunch of them.

2. He was threatened my ass. Kurtz is a waste

[blm]

10. Professional courtesy. Kurtz' wife is a GOP operative, too.

.

[Kahuna]

15. No. In fact they admonished the liberal bloggers who "went too far.."

in digging into his personal life. :wow: And made sure to mention that Gannon never actually USED any of those porn websites he registered. :eyes:

[NewInNewJ.]

3. Well,

can you believe that! I am so sick of this crap,,all the press does is cover *ss. This is the straw that breaks the camels back for me. Although it's been broken for the last 4 yrs.

[Placebo]

4. "personal" pics? fill me in!

I did like how Wolfie went all "But there are a lot of journalists who wear their politics on their sleeve, why is that a problem?" :eyes:

21. Gannon must wear them on his underwear

5. Howard Kurtz and Wolf Suck

I just spent an 55 minutes watching CNN's Wolf Blitzer show, and you are so right, both Kurtz and Wolf Sucked up to this guy and the conservatives they are pandering to, to a level I, have to say, am not shocked.

CNN is now off, this was the first time I watched any Cable News in 2 weeks, and will be the last time for some time to come.

11. Maybe they're clients of Jeff's

nt

[blm]

6. Heh. Did anyone expect real journalism from Corporate News Network?

Kurtz and Blitzer completely whitewashed it as bias against a conservative "journalist"....as per Rove, no doubt.

[Up2Late]

7. CNN's a lot better when MUTED

I loved the long CU, though.:evilgrin:

[Shopaholic]

19. Muted? Oh hell no--how about shut off

so much better.

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. Blitzer and Kurtz are going to take a fall for that one, because this

story isn't going away.

Howard was dishonest because HE was the one who stated that Jeff Gannon was not his real name. That was like waving bait. He knew that the next logical step was to find out who this guy really was. And he must have said at least 4 times that Gannon was a CONSERVATIVE journalist. Hertz must know, that journalistically, if ANY information in the journalist's private life comes up to contradict what he says in public, it is fair game to reveal it.

And most of all, neither Wolf nor Kurtz mentioned Plame.

This story is only going to get bigger, and how these two buffoons tried to contain the story on its first airing, will be one for the media classes of the future.

[stray cat]

9. What does Wolf have that he is trying to hide?

[blm]

13. A branded ass that says BushInc.

..

[SoCalDem]

14. ...........

18. Does anyone have Kurtz' e-mail address?

[qanda]

20. That was so unbelievable

That I screamed. This must be the twillight zone.

[oasis]

22. kick for complaints CNN.

[Canuckistanian]

23. All that information was public domain

His website registrations, his business addresses, his website and other info all came from simple investigation of PUBLIC records.
There was no poking through his garbage or people following him around.
The RW media would consider this fair game as well.
