Notes on Fox Panel discussion:
Fox panel on it.
Brit cites the Mark Twain example of nom de plume.
Bill Sammon is part of the panel today and is giving background.
He says what this is about is the rest of the press corps is rankled by the conservative tilt from Gannon while they are mostly liberal. He says the clumsily worded question pushed enabled them to pounce with aid of liberal bloggers.
Sammon explains the setting up of sites (by Gannon for a previous employer) that were never launched. Brit says "so he was not a pornographer" and Sammon says "apparently not", this was for a client.
Jeff Birnbaum now picks up and explains how credentials are awarded.
Now Charles Krauthammer...two issues: Should opinion journalists allowed in? Answer: Yes, they should. Brit cites "like Helen Thomas".
Second issue, what journalist entities...online? Yes, like Slate should be allowed. Online outlets should be represented.
