15. Yup. He's a psy-ops 'agent provocateur.' See this propaganda explainer. |

5. Blitzer's normal mode is to promote the story throughout the show,,,, |
|
then give it 3 minutes at the end,,,, they want to keep you watching,,,,, I'll check back & see how it went, because I don't watch him anymore

7. Some knowledgeable press people over at dailyKos.com |
|
suggested it was appropriate because that's the name everyone's familiar with. That's fine with me as long as they mention it's not his real name. In these live interviews, I'd like to see the press ask him which name he would like to be addressed as...

Blitzer asked "should I call you James or Jeff?" Says he uses Jeff Gannon simply because it's easier to remember and to say. "Gannon" really pushing the "harrassed by hate mail" story as to why he left his job so suddenly. Claims there were death threats. Blitzer asks about the gay sites - "I registered those sites for a client." B: Were you there to lob softballs or to get the news?" G: Talon is a valid news service, my 7000 readers wanted the news." B: what's connection between GOPUSA and Talon? G: its common ownership, that's all. B: what will you do now? G: I believe God closes doors and open windows - I think there are some opportunities I'm looking into.
"Gannon" REALLY pushed the hate/threat/harrassment "story".

16. WHO is stopping Hillary, Kerry, Dean & Obama from talking about it on TV? |
|
Why is everyone expecting the media to tell us how corrupt they are?
Top DEMS need to go on TV and accuse Bush of paying the media to lie for him.
I predict this will be added to the long list of Bush scandals that the DEMS let die. Next week this will be a dead story.
DEMS need to stop expecting the media to tell us how corrupt they are and start saying it to Wolf Blitzers face on TV.
Bush/media will get away with this Scot-free- and it will be the Democrat's fault.

17. I agree. Why are our representatives |
|
not representing us? We can bitch here all we want and send e-mails and letters, but if those who get coverage, even minimal, don't stand up, we're sunk.

18. Someone told me that DEMS "sent letters" to the media ... |
|
Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 04:39 PM by Dr Fate
...politely asking them to cover the story.
"Dear Wolf- please run more stories telling people how corrupt and biased the media is.
Sincerely, The Democrats"
So I guess they did do "somthing."
What a bunch of fucking idiots. DEMOCRATS need to tell the public how corrupt the media is- ON TV, not pundits either- but TOP NAMES.
