If the Press lets Gannon slide- it proves they have no self-respect...
and that journalism is all but dead in this country, at a professional level.
The bush white house has been playing them for fools, and pissing all over them, their "credentials", their hard-earned degrees, and their chosen profession.
the bush white house is effectively telling them that as far as journalists go, they are no better than a gay male whore who took a $50 seminar on reporting-

and come to think of it...they aren't.

Jeff Gannon may actually be the perfect metaphor for the white house press pool.

2. I think we learned during the coverage of the presidential election
...that journalism is long dead.



RIP.

3. This happened in the USSR. Our constitution failed in one way and
took care of things in another way. They did not foresee corporations denying us complete and fair news. They did foresee the need for freedom of the press. It's up to us. Even the citizens in the People's Republic of China have figured things out.

Our job is to make sure that all the citizens of the United States KNOW that the corporations are denying us by their partnership with ruthless madmen who want to call us their serfs.

Some citizens are followers and swallowers and don't even know they are being cheated.
