Another Gannon wannabe in the WH press.....check this question
According to the transcript of today’s White House Briefing, a “reporter” named John had this Gannon-like intro to his question:

Q You talked about sanctions against Iran if they don’t comply with dismantling their nuclear energy program. Sanctions, in the past, have proven to be a joke – that they didn’t work against Iraq…

Of course, according to the administration’s handpicked weapons inspector, David Kay, that’s untrue:

“Iraq’s large-scale capability to develop, produce, and fill new chemical weapon munitions was reduced - if not entirely destroyed - during Operations Desert Storm and Desert Fox, 13 years of UN sanctions and UN inspections.”

You start with your "spin, lie etc...." and then ask your question.
Welcome to state run media.

2. This administration has no shame...
You can be sure that they have others doing the same thing. And why shouldn't they? It's not like the press holds them accountable for anything that they do. Might as well keep making a joke of honesty and democracy.

7. Geez! I wish the guys sitting NEXT to these bozos would pipe up!
You'd think they'd hit the guy with a chair or something for asking such a dopey question.. The shills make all of them look bad, don't they? When will they have had enough?
