It's the alias, stupid.

What am I missing? Why isn't every dem elected official, spokesperson, and surrogate harping on the fact that the Press Secretary of the President of the United States was actively and knowingly participating in a fraud against the American People on national television for more than a year.

Americans watching the press conferences thought there was a real reporter named jeff Gannon performing the crucial role of journalist on behalf of the american people. They believed this because the Press Secretary of the President of the United States apparently believed the same thing.

Except he didn't.

Scott McClellan personally gave the guy credibility, knowing all the while he was using a phony name. Called him by name as if there was a real Jeff Ganon. Let him ask questions as if he were a real reporter. Answered those questions as if they were real questions.

Scotty knew Gannon's real name and abetted his fraud by calling on him by his assumed name on national television.

What's so hard about this? Yet the only person I've seen mentioning this bizarre and horrifying fact are dem message boarders, bloggers, Brock and a very few reporters.

Hey Nancy, Harry, and Terry: The White House Press Secretary was in on it.

3. I agree but my question is.

What about the "liberal" media. Gannon and the White house make a mockery of their entire profession and hardly a peep out of any of them. COWARDS. That guy has been their for what a year and it took bloggers to ferret the fascist stooge out.

5. Abosultely. Professional courtesy. Frauds have to stick together.

4. It's also the fact that the "news" agency he worked for did NOT

exist a week before he was given his press pass.

The alias and Talon itself came into existence a mere 5 days before the pass was granted.

6. Two days ago, Scotty Mac said he didn't know who they guy was

when he called on him. But obviously, he knew him well enough to know his real name.

And the question I still have is who, exactly, produced the physical pass for the guy, and why did s/he print out a pass that says Gannon, when the guy had no ID with that name on it?

7. We need pictures of Gannon wearing a hard press pass

I've heard several reporters say they thought they saw Gannon wearing one.
