Gannon a 'respectable journalist' according to FReeper
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Why are they making Gannon a very big issue. He is a decent and respectable journalist. The DU and FR(?) witchhunt continues!

1. A proven fake, decent?
A known fraud, respectable?

I used to think Freepers only had a difference of opinion. Now I know they are simply nucking futs.

2. Are you implying that he isn't?
All decent and respectable journalists e-mail the spokesman before the press-conference asking what question he should pose.

All decent and respectable journalists hurl bile and vitriol around about how ghastly gays are, whilst servicing them on a frequent basis.

All decent and respectable journalists have their noses so far up the arses of the administration that they can practically see daylight fomr though the mouth.

4. Gannon emailed Scott?
Wow. That's a new development. Do you have a link?

5. It wasn't a serious allegation I'm afraid
Just hyperbole to illustrate his closeness to the regime - whoops administration.

9. And all serious journalists post in their underwear
I have photos of Walter Cronkite in a thong, if anybody's interested...

3. Well, according to the freeper definition
of "respectable journalist", I'm sure he is one. I think for them, a "respectable journalist" is defined by how much of a total shill for the regime they are. Misrepresenting their identity and engaging in homosexual prostitution be damned. Of course, if this had happened under a Democratic administration, there would have been a lynching already, but double standards are part of the freeper criteria for "respectable journalism".

7. Well, Gannon's level of integrity is not much worse than...
...anyone on FOX and plenty of people on CNN (Wolfie, Judy, etc.), so I guess a freeper would consider this a "respectable journalist."
