[Atman]

coming up at 5:11

1. Careful, Wolfie

They'll take away your secret GOP decoder ring....

[DistressedAmerican]

27. Nothing in that report that would endanger his club status!

You can't trust a freaking word they say!
DA

[Nothing Without Hope]

2. If the corporate media talk about it at all, you know that...

...they will try to isolate the damage in a "bad apple" defense. "Gannon" obviously acted entirely on his own and so dreadfully misled everybody. The President is just shocked.

txaslftist in another thread actually saved the blivet** the trouble of writing a speech on the subject; this is absolutely not to be missed:

3. What did they say? For those of us who couldn't watch???? n/t

[T Roosevelt]

4. And what did they say for those of us that missed it?

[Atman]

5. NOTHING. A teaser, but no story.

Not a word yet. And he hasn't done another teaser for the story either.

WTF? That was twenty minutes ago!

[KoKo]

6. Well...I'll hang in ..hoping you can report if and when he does..n/t

[Auntie Bush]

7. Coming up next!

[DistressedAmerican]

8. There's no evidence of a connection!

Hey, Howard Kurtz got that directly from Scott McCleland. Well, that is good enough for me!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

12. Can you believe this BS - it is the fault of LIBERAL bloggers

prying into his personal life that caused him to resign. Nothing he did, Bush doesn't know him, totally blown report. Had a couple of other domain names registered to him but "he hadn't done any work on them." Poor guy is being threatened, his family, etc. Gag, gag, double gag.

Didn't even address the issue of how he got credentialed in the first place. Do these guys have no ethics at all? Leslie and Kurtz just made total asses of themselves.

So everyone join hands and repent, repent I say for pushing this wonderful, honest, conservative reporter out of work.

edit for stupid typo

[DistressedAmerican]

22. Sellout douchebag drones. Kurtz is the biggest waste of time on the

network. His sunday show is the most self indulgent crap I've ever seen. They cover some nonsense like Scott peterson to death then Kurtz has the nerve to make it worse by hosting a show on whether or not they cover too much crap.

Hey Howard, I'll make this easy. Yes, you cover too much crap. Now get the hell off the air!

[TheWebHead]

9. Kurtz: Talon news seems like a straight news site...

then he starts targetting the bloggers for digging up stuff about him!

[flpoljunkie]

17. Howie said the story is the investigation of Talon by internet bloggers!

Unfucking believable! I'd like to ask Howie if he knows how many other internet bloggers have White House press credentials.

[pbartch]

10. Why'd Gannon have access 2 WH press briefings & what's the SEX websites??

HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFINGS. He is NOT a "CREDENTIALED" journalist.

Gannon has SEX websites??? Did I hear that right? What was that all about???

[TheWebHead]

11. yeah, male/male military escort service domains

not sure if he actually did anything with them though.

[pbartch]

31. sexy PICTURE OF GANNON POSING IS HERE

http://democrats.com/gannon

[tgnyc]

13. Kurtz: bloggers went too far,

no evidence Gannon was WH plant

[mzmolly]

14. This was more about "damage control" than uncovering this guys ties

to the WH.

[flpoljunkie]

19. Very well put, mzmolly. Corporate whore media covering for Dubya.

[tgnyc]

15. Kurtz: "some sexually-provocative web addresses"

no mention that at least one of the websites sounds like a PROSTITUTION hub.

[tabasco]

23. Kurtz: "Day-to-day White House journalist passes given to ...

just about any journalist."

Is this true?

Can I start a news site with my isp free webspace, declare myself a journalist, and get a day-to-day White House pass as easily as Gannon?

Somebody needs to call Kurtz on this whitewashing bullshit!

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. They sound like they are falling all over themselves

trying to make excuses for this guy. I think their shit is starting to stink.

[tgnyc]

18. Kurtz: Talon is a "straight news site"

Holy shit.

[tgnyc]

20. NO MENTION OF THE PLAMEGATE CONNECTION

Kurtz is such an asswipe.

[Atman]

21. Got any NEWS TIPS for Talon?

Sheesh...maybe they didn't hear about this story. The only other apparent "employee" of Talon News is the editor, the guy Kurtz named, and whose name appears on the signed "statement" from Talon re: Gannon.

Then I saw this link...Talon is asking us if we've got any hot news tips. Maybe they need to know about this hot story about Gannon's gay escort services and using a fake name to get credentials to the WH...THAT sure sounds like news!

[e-mail]

[tgnyc]

24. Wolfie: what's wrong with a journalist having

a political viewpoint, Howie?

Howie: as long as they identify their biases, it's all good.

[tgnyc]

25. Kurtz: not unusual for internet-only publications to get

WH passes daily.

Does he just make shit up, or what?

[DistressedAmerican]

26. Well, Hell I Have A Website!

I think I'll make a couple of friendly calls and sit in next week!

[Shopaholic]

28. Hey, let's all show up and see if they let our liberal asses in

My guess is HELL FUCKING NO.

That was a total kiss-ass, suck-up piece. Howie & Wolfie are such total and completly transparent whores for *. It's all the fault of the "liberal blogs" that this "poor" man was so "harassed" that he felt he needed to resign. He worked for a legit "website-based news service". The bloggers "went too far" in digging up info on this guy according to both Blitzer-whore & Howie-whore.

[DistressedAmerican]

30. Sure would make for an interesting protest action!

[KoKo]

29. OMG..from reading this Howie (Two Hat, Kurtz) and Leslie CAVED!

Is that what you guys are saying? They left this story to the last minutes of Blitzer and then Howie says Talon is legit news site...but there are some "murky...or something" websites he's connected to..but Okay..that's find Gannon was okay with him???

I wish I heard it in person...but it's so bad I'm glad I missed it. :shrug:

[mzmolly]

32. The gist was that this POOR man now feared for his life and that "liberal"

bloggers went "too far."

[MissMarple]

33. Really? TOO FAR??? It sounds like they are threatening us.....

with what? I think liberal bloggers are just getting warmed up.

[KoKo]

34. OMG...they called Howie "Two Hat" in just for this? And Blitzer shoves it

to the end of his show? Hoping for RATINGS was he....

I think we've got them routed in a way..if this is the way they are acting after the "porn news" about Gannon... :shrug:
