David Brock, eh?

Yep.
David Brock: Living proof Liberalism is a mental illness. This piece but further evidence that Psychopathological Projection Syndrome is its defining symptom!

Thanks for that link; I'd have missed it otherwise.
Boo Hoo, Brock is a fool.
What a queer way to take a quote out of context. Brock constructs a fairy tale out of an innocent comment to whip up some controversy.
Seriously, the same could be said about, since the old hag has already been mentioned, Helen Thomas. Scott knows what he'll get out of her as well (usually the far-left's daily talking point). That doesn't mean she provides questions in advance. Ditto for most of the other biased press in the room (which, by the way, is all of them).
I wonder what skeletons the pure Mr. Brock has hiding in his closet
What with the Armstrong Williams scandal, the WH would be wise to avoid even the slightest appearance of shillery. Because let's face it, Gannon is a shill in the truest sense.
The last thing you are attempting to do in this post is be honest. You provide no evidence in your blanket assertions. Maybe you've never heard of Talon News (since you just joined FR yesterday!), but many of us have. I had the distinct pleasure to sit with Jeff over a year ago and watch him interview various conservative pundits - David Horowitz, Grover Norquist among others - and he did a thoroughly credible job. His columns are equally credible.
Where is the "journalist" licensing board? Where does one go to get to be a certified journalist? Why should we cede that title to only those on the left with a specific agenda to demonize and destroy the right? Do you really think the WH just hands out credentials? Go for it. When you get your White House Press Credential you come back here and tell us all about it big boy.
Shill! Now you're projecting Newby!

How....intolerant!
My guess.....Jeff rebuffed a come on from Davie and Davie just can't handle the truth.
You're off your gob. The WH Press Room is the center of the partisan hackery universe. The Press Secretary is a spin artist and the reporters (ALL of them) are partisan hacks of one flavor or another.
Step away from the keyboard, Aunt Pittypat.
Seattle, I've got a newsflash for you -- and I can give you a newsflash because I do have a BA in communications/broadcast journalism with a minor in Literature/writing -- journalism isn't taught anymore in J schools. Lots of theory, not a lot of practical application.
The old school rules simply do not exist as the lines between op/ed column and front page news story have all but evaporated.
I know Jeff Gannon. I've broadcasted on RIGHTALK with Jeff Gannon. He is a very thorough reporter, absolutely fair and professional. He does his homework.
Next, you will tell me that Joe Conason is the ideal reporter -- fair to a fault. Or any one of a thousand reporters out there who denigrate any and all things conservative. But they are ok in your book? Ever visit Brent Bozell's Media Research Center website?
What is most amusing is that if, in fact, Gannon is not a "real", "certified", "licensed", "blood oathed" reporter in your estimation, then why are your panties in a twist? If he is a nobody, then why do you care what he thinks? Cause he got a question in the Presidential press conference? Or the question that folks talked about ad infinitem afterwards.
Just curious as to why my buddy Jeff has you concerned.
How lawyerly of you - trash someone's reputation, Gannon, by calling him a partisan hack and shill - and then wish someone who calls you on it the best.
You're all closing argument with no presentation of evidence or facts. Why should anyone care what you think? You are the one making the assertions. Back them up. Do you know what degree Gannon has? Do you know anything about him? Why don't you plunge into those two year old archives and demonstrate by cut/paste/link that you are correct?
I would gladly compare Gannon's articles, interviews and journalism credentials with say, Eason Jordan of CNN. Wasn't a guy named Dan Rather a White House Press Corps alum? If you think that he wasn't a partisan hack during his attacks on President Nixon, President GHW Bush you're not dealing with reality.
Beside's Gannon asserts that he is a A conservative journalist embedded with the liberal Washington press corps. So, why are your panties in a twist?

Is this really a worthwhile question for our President?
I see nothing wrong with the question. He simply states the reality -democrats are lost, morally bankrupt and politically impotent -in their stupor, all they do is whine...
It is neither -the liberals are not relevant; therefore, neither is their meme or framing... To the victor go the spoils...
You have heard of unconditional surrender?
