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?" I think the above is part of the aforementioned "White House malfeasance" John H On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD, on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes Your back to the chant John -- How about a little effort trying to answer the questions raised earlier? Your questions have no bearing on anything more worthwhile than a rat's ass. And, I don't give a rat's ass. He had as much right to ask a loaded question as any of the 'accredited' liberal 'journalists' did (and do). Watch a few White House briefings and you'll understand what I mean. It is pretty funny watching the liebrals hyperventilate about a 2 bit reporter, as if it is going to be the lynch pin that brings down Bush. They haven't learned a thing from their series of electoral defeats. John H On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD, on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it." Rene Descartes A phony 2 bit homosexual 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... That is not an answer. What does him being homosexual have to do with anything? Are you a homophobe? The investigation was about perjury, a little factoid that the liebrals like to ignore, the cost was due to the clinton's obstructing the investigation. Poor little liebrals, look what they have left to hang their hats on. |
