Some leftist websites have been attacking Jeff Gannon, Washington correspondent for conservative Talon News. See ,e.g, http://mediacitizen.blogspot.com/2005/02/gannon-quits-after-blogger-inquiry.html
Rush explains why the attacks are occurring and defends Jeff Gannon.

I think the White House should respond that in response to the Boston Globe article they will do a trial vetting all journalists covering the White House, starting with the Boston Globe and their parent company the NY Times. Send their reporters detailed questionnaires, disclosure of all published works, do a full background investigation and analysis of political leanings and demand they provide all this so they can determine whether the White House will allow them in. Watch them go Ape-Crap when their petty demands are taken seriously and applied to them.

I agree that the media can often distort things, but it is not right for any administration to pay pundits or to have fake paid for 'news' plants in press conferences.

We don't have a caste system in this country.
I don't care if he is a bag-boy at the grocery store.
If he write stories, asks questions, and investigates news, that alone makes him a reporter/journalist.
One doesn't get annointed that job description based on union membership granted by the media elites. Though they do everything they can to raise barriers to entry.

Feb. 6th, Peggy Noonan wrote a column entitled "President's Argument Sound but Complicated."
The complicated part was the nonsense that the Post reporter threw in!
The new year hasn't started well for Ms. Noonan.

"But then you harp out and start investigating this poor old Jeff Gannon guy as somehow White House friendly as though that's some kind of a crime."Exactly. It's insane.
I am glad to see Rush defend Gannon.
