It seems to me....someboy is crying "Wolf"
that the true new investigative reporters are the bloggers. Not that there are not biases, but let's face it, there is bias in the media anyway.

The news media has created its own black hole by refusing to put together proper investigative reports and now they want to cry "Wolf" (Blitzer)

1. That was a lame report. Kurtz defended the WH. Howie - how the hell
did the guy get day passes into the WH?

Why was it a day pass instead of the standard passes that WH Correspondents receive?

Why could he not pass Congressional muster to get a correspondents pass but he could get a WH one?

Why could he use a fake name when rules are so strict for the other reporters (ie. female reporters using maiden or professional names)?

That was just pathetic.

2. Sure was. Of course Howie doesn't want to have to
say every day that his wife works for Bush.

9. Her name is Sheri Annis and she had a consulting contract
with Bush/Cheney during the campaign. She is a Republican media strategist. I don't know if she is currently working for the administration.

6. How could he use a fake name with all the security supposed to be in
force?

If he got only "day passes" why was he called upon so much and true journalists like Helen Thomas seldom, if ever, called on?

How many more people associated with this administration are going to be found to have fake credentials, graduated from fake schools, and found to be plants by the administration?

7. Yes the "front" seems just about impossible.
And someone in the Whitehouse had to make this possible.

Follow the payola, follow the credentialling undoubtedly they lead to the same office.

11. Same kind of "security" as on 9-11?
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 09:58 PM by KansDem
Bush is "informed" by Andrew Card that we are under attack, yet he sits and does nothing. The Secret Service does nothing, even though he might have been a target, and he's in the presence of many children...?

Like with "Jeff Gannon," could be they knew something to the contrary?

____
on edit: Could be they knew what we were perceiving was not what was really happening...???
