My Gannon letter makes it to my local paper

[NewJeffCT]

Granted, it's a free weekly for fairly rural Eastern Connecticut... but, my letter on Gannon made it in there. I will say that when I first moved to town, the "speak out" section was almost all Freepers. At least it is more balanced now. This was submitted over a week ago when the scandal first started breaking.

Gannon Undercover
First, three mainstream media members were outed as having been paid propagandists for Bush policies. Now comes word that Jeff Gannon of Talon News, who lobbed famously loaded softball questions at George Bush and his staff during White House press conferences, was really an undercover GOP operative with no journalistic credentials. Gannon also has connections to gay prostitution rings and participated in the outing of an undercover CIA operative. Yet, he was able to get White House press credentials. How soon until our media officially changes their name to Pravda?

Good luck getting them to make the connection.

8. "Gannon also has connections ..." Absolutely brilliant.

You did not call him a hooker, or accuse him of being gay. You stayed on point and listed the facts in a no-nonsense manner.

A most excellent letter. :thumbsup:

12. well, I had submitted the letter...

I had submitted the letter prior to americablog actually directly connecting him to gay prostitution. At that point, it was just some odd domain names.

9. Way to go!

10. Pravda operatives probably had Some journalistic

credentials, albeit Soviet.

But they only pimped and laid for the regime.
