I don't understand your comment. However, I'm sorry Mr. Gannon is "leaving". Anyone besides me recall the "anal probe" by MSM into "Buckhead"? How *dare* Buckhead question ANYTHING. And in Mr. Gannon's case? The Good Ole Boys in the MSM don't like anyone presuming to challenge them on "their" turf. The question as I see it, and from all parties involved (MSM, Bush Admin)? "Do "credentials" matter?

Do "credentials" matter?

Do you remember the big credentials fight that WorldNetDaily had with the Capitol a few years ago? They were being denied press credentials by a "committee" that credentials news outlets. The "committee" argued that WND didn't originate news, only repeated other outlets' stories, even though WND was responsible for Algore losing Tennessee in 2000. It turned out that this "committee" was made up of representatives of the press (not journalists), and they were denying WND credentials out of spite.

You can probably read about it in WND's archives.
