Why the MSM is latching on to Gannon

[Mabus]

because it will help let them off the hook, re: their lack of actual journalism. I was just watching CNN and the "reporter" said something to the effect that the Gannon story might mean that the Bush administration was manipulating the media. It's like they are trying to play dumb.

1. Hmmm. Then "maybe" MSM will admit to Operation Mockingbird ? eom

4. Not until after Jon Stewart covers it

that's when most of this stuff hits the mainstream and then the MSM are forced to acknowledge it. Okay, parts of it.

2. I saw Howie Kurtz talking about it on CNN earlier and

the slant he was pushing seemed to be "how terrible that all those liberal bloggers are digging up this man's private life."....John Aravosis, the guy from Americablog tried to point out that the problem was not his personal life, but that he had gotten clearance into the White House....That didn't seem to matter to Kurtz....:puke:

3. Maybe Howie's getting paranoid

about what we can dig up on him and his GOP PR wife.

5. I think they've finally gotten their orders on how to cover it.

They are to say

- Liberals hate his gayness
- They hate a fair and balanced media
- He's going to sue liberals and get justice.
- Oh! Look! Bright shiny NEW stories!

6. Oh yes, Michael Jackson looms on the horizon

I forgot. We've been planning a fundraiser and I haven't been paying attention. The "star trial of the century" is about to begin (again).
