Gannongate on The Today Show
Well it's back on MSM's radar screen. I was watching a clip of last nights Daily Show on my computer when I glanced over at the TV and The Today Show had a clip on their national news about Gannon. The headline was White House Press Scandal.

5. Actually, for the MSM, this is fairly quick...
At this point in the Watergate saga, only the WP had anything about it. Watergate took 18 months to fully blossom, the 'Gannon' scandal might take less because of the great work done by the bloggers, etc. The MSM is feeling the heat.

7. Nowhere on CNN, MSNBC, or CNBC
I've been wathching these whores - they maintain the bullshit well - HEAVY on the threat of terror, the Orwellian appointment of Negroponte to Intelligence Czar, Greenspan backs Bush's plans to rob the poor, lots about iran and syria's nefarious designs for world conquest, medical lawsuits, michael jackson's illness, even the NHL - recycled, over and over - nothing on Gannongate...

furious and willful ignorance is fevered bliss...

8. It didn't even close to scratching the surface
1) The reporter said Guckert's real name was "Jeff" Guckert.

2) They completely ignored the fact he was subpoenaed by Fitzgerald and is somehow involved in the Valerie Plame case.

3) They ignored the fact that he had no journalistic credentials.

4) Mentioned the gay escort sites with a look of disdain upon their face like they were forced to say it but didn't want to.

5) Barely mentioned that Talon is funded by, essentially, a GOP PAC.
