Maybe he was a NOC, too. Maybe he was sent out to find out who was leaking CIA secrets to folks like Dana Milbank.
When will ABCCBSNBCPBSCNNNYTWP admit that they have been leftists political organizations planted in the WH for the last 40 years? All the while claiming to be "news" organizations?
LOL, in their complaints about Gannon, they expose their faux "concern".
As with Rather, these "news" organizations show with their attacks and defenses, that their pretentions on objectivity are completely false.
The war is on!
And they will lose.
I'd take these people more seriously if they'd spent 1/10th the effort to investigate John Kerry's past.
WHAT?! Please explain.
If he was writing for Salon, they would have said look at conservatives attacking him for helping make gay websites.
The pen name business is a farce, he didn't fake his way into the press conferences because he still had to use his legal name to get a background check.
I agree with you sink. I don't know why "we" would feel the need to defend the guy. Man, if you are going to play hardball with the big boys, you better have your house in order. That's just common sense.
This is not a news story.
"These sites are registered to an address in Delaware that's the same as one held by a James Guckert," Folkenflik said."
I thought many FReepers have posted in other threads and some seem to even KNOW that Gannon's address is in Texas??
Adding another twist, NPR's David Folkenflik, in his report Wednesday night, referred to revelations arising from liberal blogs earlier in the day, connecting Gannon to sexual Web sites such as HotMilitaryStud.com, among others.
"These sites are registered to an address in Delaware that's the same as one held by a James Guckert," Folkenflik said. "And that's the name that Gannon used to apply for press credentials on Capitol Hill....As for those Web sites, Gannon said he created them for clients of a software company he used to work for. And Gannon said his Christian faith has enabled him to receive forgiveness for the sins of his past."
I say lets open up this media can of worms. They want accountability then what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Every lie they print and distortion reported, lets have a "frog" march up the capital steps.
"NPR reported Wednesday that when Gannon was turned down for Capitol Hill credentials...he had used the name James Guckert. He admitted to NPR that Gannon was not his real name"
Do you think that NPR reporters with names like
Tony Cocks, David F--kenflick, or Eric Whiner are using their real names?
1) There is nothing wrong with writing under a "pen name"---if that is who your security is checked out under. For example, a security check on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would have a note that he was once "Lew Alcindor," but that he goes by KAJ now. The issue is security, not his "pen name."
2) It should be troubling to conservatives that anyone with a) these gay-porn connections and b) a false name gets a permanent press pass, and, equally disturbing that Talon News, which is seeking legitimacy, didn't know about this.
3) It is also critical to support Milbank's observation that the BLOG discovered the details, not the MSM, which once again is out in the cold.
4) Finally, all of this should HIGHLIGHT, rather than diminish, the question of why a common sense question posed by ANY reporter is viewed as "too partisan" if it doesn't toe the MSM line.
LOL Good one! I love ironic sarcasm.
He's lying. Bush knew. The question is: When did he know it? There's more to this can of worms. We must expose the "true connection" to the White House.
:) Denote sarcasm.
Asked if digging into someone's personal and business activities was proper retaliation, Moulitsas (Markos Moulitsas, a San Francisco liberal who writes the popular Kos site,) said: "If that's what it took to really bring attention to him, it's one of those unfortunate facts of reality in the way we operate today. It's sex that really draws attention to these things."
Now that we know the lib's acceptable rules of journalism it will be interesting to see what can be dug up on them.
No, I won't mention names, but I will tell you that almost any beautiful single woman who does news reports is probably NOT using her real last name.
The press whores of the MSM cannot stomach anyone asking pertinent questions at the White House briefings. They laud that old hag who sat in a front row seat and at every briefing asked inane questions which were then reported as "news".
