Washington) Despite assurances by the Bush Administration that the gay hustler who posed as a journalist was given only limited access to the White House new evidence shows that over a two year period he visited 196 times.

James D. Guckert, who wrote under the name Jeff Gannon, was Washington bureau chief for Talon News, a conservative online news outlet associated with another Web site, GOPUSA.

Questions began to circulate within the White House press corps almost as soon as "Gannon" arrived on the scene.

------

He then noted that Kerry has enjoyed "a 100% rating from the homosexual advocacy group Human Rights Campaign since 1995 in recognition of his support for the pro-gay agenda.”

While the White House press corps winced at "Gannon's" lack of objectivity and began to wonder if he were an Administration "plant", John Aravosis, who operates the AMERICAblog Web site, began to probe his background. (story)

======
Before Aravosis & Media Matters exposed G/G, he operated with impugnity and without question for TWO+ YEARS. The 'press corpse' are STILL silent on this, so I'm not sure why this writer casts the 'media' as being anything but complicit.

1. The WH press corps are just shills

If they had any scruples at all they would have walked out on Scottie when Gannon was "exposed".

But they didn't, did they?

[Lerkfish]

2. yes and no.

its their job to stay there. If you walk out on any job, you're unemployed.

now, that is a different question from whether they were shills, nor does it answer why they didn't ask hard questions, but like any job, if you are expected to clock in, you do, even if you disagree with assignment, right?

Unless you're a right wing pharmacist...

3. Many White House press shills earn cozy incomes...

...which buy a good deal of complacency and obedience.

They ought to be required to walk in carrying eggs on spoons held in their mouth and then stand on one leg while Scottie delivers them their orders; at least we'd get some amusement in the midst of all the propaganda.

5. You don't think they are doing exactly what their editors want?

That's sort of like blaming the kid at the cash register for macdonald's bad hamburger.

Go after the people who own the franchise.

4. I'd love to see a Political Action Group grab some of these shills ...

... and paint their noses an indelible brown. :evilgrin:

6. You know I thinks its hillarious Gannon was a journalist

what a way to smuggle in a male escort... routinely!!!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. If Gannon was a plant,

so was Monica Lewinsky.

[lovuian]

8. Bingo!!!

and someone is really going to have a hard time explaining!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Yep

The thought has run by me from time to time on if Lewinsky was a plant from the rightwingers to nail Clinton. :shrug: Eh I think I might need this: :tinfoilhat:

[raysr]

9. You know

I thought that myself, about Monica being a plant.

[Must_B_Free]

10. oh, come on!

people always keep semen stained dresses in their freezer for a year... :eyes:

[Disturbed]

11. The Silence is deafening.

The RW Wing, Lame Stream Media, top Dems, and the Fundies are real quite on this topic. Why?

[enid602]

13. Gannon

Partially because there is so much going on right now with re: to other presidential scandals, wars, messes and abuses. Those of us who follow this story have to realize that Dems and opposition Pugs in places of power really have a full plate right now. The best thing we can do is keep the story percolating, and we can thank God for the internet and its ability to help us do just that. I think this story will explode in time.

Sadly, I also think that this story is being smothered because of the administration's tendency toward vengance and retaliation.
