Gannongate - Outer (thin) layer of a very stinky onion

[AVID]

I know there are already hundreds of posts on this affair , , , so whats one more.

Its the credibility stupid (amuricans)! Its the * admin way of doing business. Thats what makes this so frustrating, evil, and hard to beat.

This administration controls both houses, the SCOTUS, the MSM, the Press room, and misleading propaganda to the masses is not only standard operating procedure, but reinforced through RW radio and special access hacks like gannon.

Here's my problem. I can't imagine a crime, event, or scandal heinous enough for the MSM, CNN, or FOX, etc. to challenge this regime.

This is friggin unreal!

Bloggers, Olberman, is there anybody out there that will grab hold of this stinky peel and keep stripping away the rotting layers of the BFEE?

1. I'm in total agreement

It's amazing.

2. Lot's more to expose

I think that they have gotten just a little bit too arrogant. They are so used to getting away with what they do, never any consequence.

3. when you look

at how easy it was to find out about Gannon's porn connections, it shows that things are getting pretty sloppy. There must be more loose ends out there.

7. NPR Had Great Story on Gannon Tonight

NPR had a great story on Gannon tonight. They talked about all the obvious issues. Then they asked Gannon if Gannon is his real name. He said it was a fake name, but wouldn't say what his real name was or why he used a fake name. They said he had been rejected for press credentials last year when he used his apparent real name. Then NPR described how the blogs "such as daily kos" had uncovered Gannon's background, including his involvement is a website featuring hard-body military men.

11. Right, we have to stop looking to them for affirmation. leave them

behind. Set up the standards and live by them but forget the MSM. We will become the MSM for the news thats fit to print.

5. Really, They Have Gone Totally Septic. They're Freaking Gangrenous

and yet the media & gop pretend Jr.'s Administration is just fine.

8. We just have to keep hammering on it

Gannon lied about his name to get press credentials, which makes the Bush White House responsible for the biggest security breach this side of Plame/Wilson. Either they're really stupid and need to fire someone, or they knew and didn't care. That's the angle we have to use, right down to public congressional hearings.
