Media knew of attacks on Daschle by fake Gannon - but followed he said/she
said - but no doubt asked Karl Rove- and he explained that this was the way a proper media should act.

nashuaadvocate:Daschle Campaign Says Media Aware of Gannon in summer 2003 - (and did a cover up - or just refusal to state truth if the GOP objected?)

http://nashuaadvocate.blogspot.com /

"According to Dan Pfeiffer, former spokesman for Tom Daschle--the U.S. Senate Minority Leader until his defeat in the 2004 general election--Jeff Gannon's use of assumed identities was information available to the media as far back as the summer of 2003."

~snip~

"In fact, said Pfeiffer, in the summer of 2003 there was "not a single minute" the campaign thought Gannon was a real journalist.

Nor did the campaign keep this information to themselves.

According to Pfeiffer, the campaign sent Gannon's website address and news of his attempted deceit of the Daschle camp to several reporters."

~snip~
"A South Dakota reporter, who asked not to be identified, has confirmed to The Nashua Advocate that he received an e-mail from the Daschle campaign containing a link to Gannon's AOL website"
