I have to confess, I've misled you all.  My real name is not Owl_Eagle.  It's Eagle_Owl.

The media is becoming more childish by the day. Yesterday I caught something about Olberman getting excited about something Bill O Reily said about his high school football days.

The media is starting to remind me of the kids in middle school who are trying to be popular by spreading all the latest rumors. It's pathetic.

Look at all the research the MSM is doing on a blogger. desperatly trying to make a big scandal out of nothing.

Yet last night after I heard that the Medicine story was factually wrong. There was some news reader, playing clips of Polosi/Kennedy comments on the origianl erroneous report.

IIRC, many of Clinton's WH staff were unable to get security clearances. Where was the outrage then?

But Gannon had been obtaining daily White House press passes, a situation that had irked some veteran White House reporters who also questioned his credentials or considered him to be too partisan in his questioning.

Yep, we can't let the rabble into our exclusive club, and only liberal partisanship is allowed.

I agree there are some problematic and potentially problematic aspects to Gannon. However, this story also is very revealing about the MSM mindset and their attempts to maintain a grip on the dissemination of news.

Gannon should've known that when the President called on him during the last press conference, skipping over members of the MSM, he painted a big target on his back.

Maybe he was a NOC, too. Maybe he was sent out to find out who was leaking CIA secrets to folks like Dana Milbank.

When will ABCCBSNBCPBSCNNNYTWP admit that they have been leftists political organizations planted in the WH for the last 40 years? All the while claiming to be "news" organizations?

LOL, in their complaints about Gannon, they expose their faux "concern".

As with Rather, these "news" organizations show with their attacks and defenses, that their pretentions on objectivity are completely false.

The war is on!

And they will lose.

I say lets open up this media can of worms. They want accountability then what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Every lie they print and distortion reported, lets have a "frog" march up the capital steps.

"NPR reported Wednesday that when Gannon was turned down for Capitol Hill credentials...he had used the name James Guckert. He admitted to NPR that Gannon was not his real name"

Do you think that NPR reporters with names like
Tony Cocks, David F--kenflick, or Eric Whiner are using their real names?

Earlier in the day, on CNN, the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz said that White House spokesman Scott McClellan had told him that "President Bush didn't know who Jeff Gannon was when he called on him at that news conference."

He's lying. Bush knew. The question is: When did he know it? There's more to this can of worms. We must expose the "true connection" to the White House.

:) Denote sarcasm.

Washington Post - Howard Kurtz, same subject, here.

Asked if digging into someone's personal and business activities was proper retaliation, Moulitsas (Markos Moulitsas, a San Francisco liberal who writes the popular Kos site,) said: "If that's what it took to really bring attention to him, it's one of those unfortunate facts of reality in the way we operate today. It's sex that really draws attention to these things."

Now that we know the lib's acceptable rules of journalism it will be interesting to see what can be dug up on them.

The press whores of the MSM cannot stomach anyone asking pertinent questions at the White House briefings. They laud that old hag who sat in a front row seat and at every briefing asked inane questions which were then reported as "news".

Amazing how much effort was put into this by the MSM. Shame they didn't spend this much effort looking into John Kerry's Vietnam War antics.
