GO JEFF!
Must read.
DB always has it panties in a wad about something.
waaah! waaaah! Where's the crying baby logo, fer Pete's sake. The Stone Age Media simply can't come to grips with the fact that THEIR political operatives (i.e. the WA press corps) no longer has free reign in the public domain.
Viva La Revolucion!
Apparently, Brock doesn't like you.
It is alright to be partisan but only if you are a liberal.

Where is it written that a journalist favoring an administration cannot be in the White House Press Room? If that were the case during the Clinton years Dee Dee Myers would have been talking to a room full of empty chairs.
Oh I was needing a good laugh!!!
Sheesh...the dickhead says "Free Republic" like it's a dirty word or sumpin..
MAKE IT STOP.............
This has be a PSA for 'THE' media from:
aka David Blechhh Brock
Only if the credentials of reporters from the house organs of the Democratic Party (W. Compost and Newsweek) are also lifted.
David Brock protests airing of anti-Kerry film
62-station chain to show 'Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal'

Left-wing media critic and journalist David Brock is warning a television-station chain to cancel its plans to air the anti-Kerry film "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal," contending it could violate campaign broadcast regulations.
Brock, known for his ideological switch from right to left, wrote in a letter that Sinclair Broadcasting's "plan to air anti-Kerry propaganda before the election is an abuse of the public airwaves for what appears to be partisan political purposes."
As WorldNetDaily first reported, the television documentary features testimony by former POWs of the demoralizing impact of the senators' war-crimes accusations more than 30 years ago.
aryland-based Sinclair has ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming during prime time next week to air the 42-minute film. The station group, which reaches about 24 percent of U.S. households, has coverage in crucial battleground states.
In his letter, Brock wrote, "I don't have to remind you ... [that] 14 of the 62 stations the company either owns or programs are in the key political swing stations of Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where the presidential election is being closely fought."
Brock is CEO and president of Media Matters for America, a Web-based non-profit "dedicated to correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

I await the White House coming to grips with the new media reality and either extending press creds to Freepers and other respected on line journos
or holding a press conference solely for on line journalists and talk show hosts.
It would be forward looking and cutting edge , I'm surprised the WH has not done this already.
David Brock? LOL. I'm sure they'll get right on it.
Free speech is only for liberals like Brock. If they removed the credentials of every reporter who was partisan, the White House Press Room would be near empty.
This is obviously a queer complaint.

One of the oldest jokes in the world is the one about the three-legged pig. There are dozens of versions, but they all basically go like this:
There's a traveling salesman making his way through the backwoods when he approaches a farmer to make a sale. He sees a three-legged pig hopping around behind the farmer and asks, "Hey, why does your pig only have three legs?"
"That's no ordinary pig!" exclaims the farmer. "That is the smartest pig in the whole world. It saved my family's life." The farmer continues, "Last summer, the stove done broke and gas was leaking all over the place. That there pig pounded on the door and woke everybody up."
"Okay, but why is it missing a leg?"
"And then, last summer, the pig pulled my wife out of the lake when she'd done cramped up and near drown."
"Yeah, but why only three legs?"
"Well, son, with a pig that special, you don't eat it all at once."
Badum bum.
Well, we have a new version of the pig joke. This time the pig is David Brock. And the punch line goes something like, "You don't sell credibility like mine all at once."
In the late 1980s and early 1990s David Brock was a prized hatchet man for the American Spectator. He wrote a devastating piece exposing the obvious fact that the forces and individuals arrayed against Clarence Thomas were hardly political rubes. Of Anita Hill, he said she was "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty." I can't say a word about the slutty, but the "nutty" assertion didn't require an investigative reporter to nail down; all you had to do was read her academic writings. But that's a different story.
Later, David Brock wrote some articles in The American Spectator about the fact that, as governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton's behavior toward state female employees was akin to Fredo Corleone's behavior toward cocktail waitresses after the family sent him to the Tropicana.
Then, something happened.
Brock took a mammoth, $550,000 advance to write a book about Hillary Clinton, but by the mid 1990s no liberal source in the world would talk to Brock. The famed investigative reporter of the Right couldn't get the story, unless by "getting the story" you mean dissecting a stack of newspaper clippings compiled by an intern.
