OMG! Seen Sludge's LUDICROUS SPIN on the MALE HOOKER Gannon?

WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: WHAT IS A REPORTER?
Thu Feb 10 2005 20:49:03 ET

White House spokesman Scott McClellan On Thursday challenged liberal media activists, who are currently
feigning outrage over events surrounding "Jeff Gannon," to examine the definition of reporter in the new century.

"In this day and age, when you have a changing media, it's not an easy issue to decide or try to pick and choose who is a journalist. It gets into the issue of advocacy journalism," McClellan said.

"Where do you draw the line? There are a number of people who cross that line in the briefing room.

"There are a number of people in that room that express their points of view, and there are people in that room that represent traditional media, they represent talk radio, they're columnists, and they represent online news organizations."

Developing...



Yeah, but none of them are male prostitutes who got their "journalism degree" from some $50 seminar! And not even the right-wing stooge Brit Hume would be brazen enough to lob the kind of blatant softballs Guckert threw out.

A-fucking-mazing.

1. Drudge -- another Closet Case.
If you took all the self-hating gays, crooks, liars, cheats out of the republican party....there would be nobody left.

2. Typical for Drudge who whores himself to the GOP daily
I'm sure most bloggers with $50 journalism "degrees" can now get access to White House press briefings using false names.

3. I bet Drudge considers himself a reporter as well.

4. the press need to stand up RIGHT NOW.
with the payola and quid pro blow scandals, their profession is being trashed, maybe irreparably, and they either need to make a stand or go down with that ship.

5. In all respects, it takes one to know one
Ahhh, DRUDGE....he isn't a journalist EITHER!!!!!!! Of course he's going to leap to the defense of a self loather who pretends to be a journo! Especially when they're on the same team in every sense.

Salient snip (Brock re: Drudge): Drudge picked me up at a friend's house in the Hollywood Hills in his red Geo Metro, arriving with an impressive bouquet of yellow roses. Jesus, I thought, Drudge thinks we're going on a date. After dinner at the famed West Hollywood restaurant Dan Tana's, he suggested we go bar hopping along the gay strip on Santa Monica Boulevard, which Drudge navigated like a pro. ... (Six months hence, I received the following e-mail message from Drudge, under the subject heading "XXX." Drudge wrote: "Laura spreading stuff about you and me being fuck buddies. I should only be so lucky. ")

Salient snip: Matt Drudge says that he goes to Gay bars but he isn't gay. He goes to straight bars too.
Sorry Matt, those don't cancel the other out.
Any "straight" man who is in a gay bar dancing the night away such to gay club favorites like "If It Don't Fit, Don't Force It," is only seven key strokes away from removing the "alleged" from homosexual prefaced before your name on this site.
Drudge despite what you think about him, is hereby being placed under immediate critical suspicion.
A book by Jeannette Walls's has an interview in it with a purported former Drudge boyfriend, David Cohen, who recalls that Drudge once hung out with a gay group and "loved to do wild, provocative things to draw attention to himself." A "perturbed" Drudge tells Brett Sokol of the Miami New Times: "I go to bars. I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars. never said there was sex; she said there was dating. She never had enough to go that far."

Damn. Dating, huh? I am immediately upgrading his suspicion to code yellow.

6. There are much more poplular websites than Talon News and
the people who run thme can't get press passes.

"Jeff Gannon" did.

And "Jeff Gannon's" Talon News website was only up for 6 days before he got the press pass.
