When will WashPost investigate Howie Kurtz's GOP payola via Shari Annis?
Now we all know that Howie K has direct GOP access thru his wife, RW shill and MSNBC "analyst" Shari Annis, who last year was press secretary to Arnold What’s His Name in California.

And all during 2004 we had 'Hardball with Chris Matthews' pushing her views (e.g., August 31 transcript Guest: Christie Todd Whitman, Sheri Annis, Pam Olson, Trent Lott, Gerry Parsky, Stephen Baldwin, Bernard Kerik)

Indeed MWO went dark shortly after noting that Howard 'Mistah' Kurtz faces numerous dangerous charges of conflict-of-interest and influence peddling in his media column at the Washington Post...The charges stem from documented instances of Kurtz's involvement in what appears to be insider trading of information aimed at enriching his wife, GOP right-wing media consultant Sheri Annis...

What the heck is the hold that Kurtz has on the management of the Washington Post?

2. Perhaps this ties into his defense of Gannon.
What hold does Gannon have over Kurtz, the Post, and the White House?

4. No Shit...
Kurtz's article about Gannon is
so middle of the road I want to plotz.

The Kutrzt tactic is obvious: write about the story
by dumbing down the story via asking no questions.

He even quotes some right-wing media guy who
states Gannon is under fire because he's a
conservative, blah, blah...

Kurtz never asks the obvios: if this was Clinton?

3. I know...I've been posting about "Howie, Two Hat's" wife all over DU
Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 01:20 PM by KoKo01
for months. The conflict of interest is so blatent. Especially when "Two Hat" does that disgusting "victim thing" with Blitzer, and now his "half hearted" attempt to make amends with his latest WaPo article.

CNN should fire him. Let him stay whoring at the WaPo...where folks who read him know the score. But for millions of Americans who see his "Unreliable Sources" show on Sundays...they have no idea what he's all about. So, in my mind he's as bad as Armstrong Williams. He's taking money at two jobs and pretending he's "shining a spotlight on the media," when his connections are totally conflicted.

He's not liked by Alterman and other Liberal Media Watchers....they've been on to his game for a long time. And Media Whores did go down after doing their Howie "...watch your back" item saying he was being "investigated." That always worried me. Who runs Howie, these days and why? And, did it have anything to do with MW's going down?

5. I had same thoughts re MWO's going down after Kurtz revelations
It really looks like there is a sex angle to the Wash Post, Howie, the Hill, the Bushes, and perhaps folks in the Intel game.

It smells like one large problem.

I do not like the fact that the 1988 Bush gay whore scandal ended with the gay pimp being suicided - after he told friends that he expected to have problems after the brief publication of the bare facts in the Post by the reporter that may no longer work there, and that if he died suddenly to not believe any claim that he committed suicide.

That evening tour of the elected government offices scandal was also found not to have "legs" by the powers that be at the Washington Post.

interesting.......
