"not being called on"
but also by plain old bullying.
but, to be fair, Media Matters and the Boston Globe have both covered this. i'm hoping that with the introduction of this bill there will be more attention given to this.
i would have needed 50,000 words to cover all the angles on this. there is soooo much more to the story and probably my favorite part is that Gannon is a "graduate" of a $50 journalism diploma mill -- The Leadership Institute:
http://www.leadershipinstitute.orgon the site they sell a video that explains the Roots of the Ultra Left. here's an outline of the script. god, it's funny and frightening at the same time:
The Roots of the Ultra Left is an in-depth look at 35 things the ultra left really thinks. From Socialism to Communism, from economic and religious oppression to the elimination individual freedoms -- they say its all for the common good, but the ultra lefts sordid history tells a different tale. It's the documentary the left doesn't want you to see. Its the documenatry you cant afford to miss.
