They were outraged that somebody without a degree from one of the MSM's approved list of journalism schools had even been allowed into their inner sanctum, not to mention that he was allowed to ax a question. I mean, "How dare the Bush Regime do this!"
They rooted through Gannon's past, digging up everything they could, and making up stuff along the way as well ("he's really Johnny Gosch!"), destroying his life and promising career with their scorched earth muck raking.
I wondered yesterday if anyone in the MSM would note the hypocrisy.
I was surprised to see this in the column from Dana Milbank, of all MSM people:
During the eight years of the Bush administration, liberal outlets such as the Huffington Post often accused the White House of planting questioners in news conferences to ask preplanned questions. But here was Obama fielding a preplanned question asked by a planted questioner -- from the Huffington Post.
Not much, but it's a start. Will wonders never cease...
