Gannon/Guckert also has the blogosphere to thank for discrediting the Leftist critics and exposing them for the hypocrites that they are with their "Look - he's gay!" outing meme. I also note that Gannon has said that he has made "mistakes" rather than being proud of his conduct and promoting homosexuality as a good, alternative lifestyle. He seems rather repentant, which scores big points as far as I'm concerned.
The freedom of the blogosphere is not nearly as dangerous as the institutionalized Left-wing, anti-American Big Media. At least blogs really are the voice of the people.
I am not afraid of Left-wing blogs - all things being equal, the truth will prevail.
Is he repentant because of being caught, or repentent in the sense of forever repentent.
