Letter to the Inky editor/Dick Polman: Help me out

[mrgorth]

My LTTE of the Philly Inquirer:

I'm wondering if your political columnist, Dick Polman, is planning on writing about the disgrace to his profession that is the James Guckert/Jeff Gannon story. Conservtives love to rail about the liberal media and, indeed, Mr. Polman is always quick to deride comments that he leans to the right. Yet, here we are. Soon after the Armstrong Williams scandal we find that an excuse for a journalist with, at least, ties to male prostitution was allowed to be at White House press briefings so that he could serve up meaty, softball questions for the President and his press secretary. I'm hoping that this story will get more attention than further retrospective on Howard Dean's year old scream. I look forward to your response on this issue.

Thank You,

Mark

1. Thanks Mr Gorth - was looking for a contact there today

Wanted to write a LTTE to them on the same subject, but couldn't figure out who to address it to.

Nicely written.

Not a chance in hell of it getting published though - I did a search on the website, and there hasn't been a single mention of it in the Inky. I'm sure CityPaper and Phila Weekly will be all over it, but their readership is already All Blue, so that doesn't help a lot.
