NYTimes has Frank Richs' Gannon article in the 'Arts' section

[spanone]

What the hell is that all about? I think this SHOULD be a POLITICAL STORY.

<snip> On "Countdown," a nightly news hour on MSNBC, the anchor, Keith Olbermann, led off with a classic "Daily Show"-style bit: a rapid-fire montage of sharply edited video bites illustrating the apparent idiocy of those in Washington. In this case, the eight clips stretched over a year in the White House briefing room - from February 2004 to late last month - and all featured a reporter named "Jeff." In most of them, the White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, says "Go ahead, Jeff," and "Jeff" responds with a softball question intended not to elicit information but to boost President Bush and smear his political opponents. In the last clip, "Jeff" is quizzing the president himself, in his first post-inaugural press conference of Jan. 26. Referring to Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton, "Jeff" asks, "How are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

1. it is called 'burying'

and they are too chickenshit to just outright kill it. This way they cn claim that they did report on the story.

2. Years ago they shifted Rich to the Arts section

something bad he wrote about * pissed them off, so they moved him. Fortunately for us he's good enough to weave this sort of stuff into the Arts section.

And the Gannon story IS very entertaining.

7. Frank Rich is from the Bill Moyers' school of honest journalism.

In today’s repressive climate of corporate and government censorship his candor is extraordinary.

8. He's more or less on our side

but he has always been a pain in the ass - from his days as a "theatre critic" sucking up to John Simon - two assholes who never saw a show they liked.
