( OT ) GANNONGATE -- MAINSTREAM MEDIA BLACKOUT
GANNONGATE -- MAINSTREAM MEDIA BLACKOUT: It's a story flush with
intrigue -- CIA secrets, White House malfeasance, hidden identities, even male prostitution. Yet, as Salon.com's Eric Boehlert describes, the serious questions surrounding White House "reporter" Jeff Gannon (http://www.americanprogressaction.or...P7H&b=387763#2) have received only scant coverage in the mainstream media; two of the broadcast television networks, "as well as scores of major metropolitan newspapers around the country, have completely ignored it (http://salon.com/news/feature/2005/0...age/index.html) ." And evidence of a double standard is plentiful. Just two months ago, "virtually every major news outlet" covered a similar (yet far less egregious) story involving Edward Lee Pitts, the Tennessee reporter "who helped a National Guardsman craft a tough question posed to Secretary Rumsfeld regarding the lack of body armor for U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq." |

And...... No one gives a rat's ass!!! He *did* ask a great question though... "Thank you. Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. [Senate Minority Leader] Harry Reid [D-NV] was talking about soup lines. And [Senator] Hillary Clinton [D-NY] was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet in the same breath they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work -- you've said you are going to reach out to these people -- how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

(which raises the question of if, and if so who was getting BJs from said reporter?) |

What does him being homosexual have to do with anything? Well -- as I recall Republicans have somewhat of an aversion to sex. How much was it that the republican congress spent "investigating" a BJ for the Clinton? -- The number 50 MILLION sort of sticks in my mind. Now if Gannon got a pass for just a BJ - kinda makes you wonder... |
