David Brock wrote a length article about Jeff Gannon last week. Freepers tore it apart, given Brock's sullied history.

But evidently Gannon misquoted Sen. Reid in the same manner Rush Limbaugh did and aso Brock started investigating and found that it was unlikely Gannon had actual journalistic credentials.

The fact that we have had an evening news anchor for what, 20 years, who doesn't even have a high school diploma hasn't concerned the left. (I'm talking about Peter Jennings).

Define "actual journalistic credentials", please. Spouting the correct amount of liberal BS? Membership in a club and current payment of dues? Knowing the Secret Handshake?

Anyone may be a journalist in America. There is no Ministry of Truth.

Yet.
