Whew someone call a Reynolds aluminum foil salesperson. There is a goldmine for them over at media matters.

[MEG33]

David Brock and a co hort of dailykos..Brock was on with Catherine Crier on Court TV. Her tut tutting over bias was laughable..

[wagglebee]

I want to know two things:
1. Where was the MSM outrage when Dan Ratherbiased broadcast forged documents? (It needs to be remembered that until a few days ago, most Americans had no idea who Jeff Gannon was)
2. Why is Congress investigating this and not Sandy the Burglar's theft of classified documents from the National Archives?

WHERE IS THE VIDEO>>Eason Jordan?

"Gannon readily embraced the discredited anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"

I don't know about you, but whenever I see "discredited" used in association with the SwiftVets, I get a little charge. It's like they KNOW everyone believes them, so they say "They were discredited, you know, just in case you didn't know. Discredited!"

Word to the MediaMissManners crowd: If you have to keep TELLING us they were discredited, then they haven't been discredited. :D

[wagglebee]

I knew I was forgetting something! :)

[MisterRepublican]

DU, DailyKos and the rest of the lunatic fringe are acting as if this is Monica's stained blue dress.

What I can't figure out about the liberals is why they use alledged homosexuality as a smear. I thought they were tolerant of that kind of stuff.

[Darkwolf377]

And have we all forgotten the "Missing Weapons In Iraq Used To Kill Our Soldiers" story? The MSM sure seems to have.

[wagglebee]

If they were discredited, why didn't Jacques Querri release his military records and sue for slander?

[Dane]

This press release is laughable, actually downright pathetic.

It almost has the tone of how dare of Mr. Gannon and the Queen is not amused.

[dirtboy]

Dane, do us a favor. Go crawl back into your burrow until this is all over.

Whatever Gannon's flaws were, he has been the target of an orchestrated smear attack, epitomized by the NY Daily News article today that basically claimed as fact in the headline that he had ties to gay prostitution - when the body of the article used "possible." But no matter - the headline is what makes the impression.

There are plenty of DU posters who will slither over here and post what you just posted from David Brock's third-rate ripoff of conservative media monitoring sites. So I guess you must be from DU also, since you're posting stuff from Media Matters.

So having made the insinuation, I will next start a thread with the headline that it is confirmed that you are a DU poster paid by Terry McAuliff. And then it will be fact. See how easy it is?

[MJY1288]

Is he really from DU? :-)

[frogjerk]

Gannon readily embraced the discredited anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

Discredited by who?

[dirtboy]

Yeah, and I did a search on the internet and found that Dane hosted the official Britney Spears Fan Club website and also the website where you can buy those Girls Gone Wild videos.

[Democracy In Iraq]

...showed that Gannon often used his news articles as a platform to defend the Bush administration and attack its opponents.

Yeah, and...?

I missed the part in the First Amendment that makes an exception for White House with conservative biases.

Come on Bush-haters, is this really the best you can do? It was more fun when you were saying that Bush was just like Hitler because, umm umm, you know, he liberates people and stuff.

[MJY1288]

OH THE HUMANITY!

[Democracy In Iraq]

"White House" = "White House correspondents"

[mabelkitty]

Why isn't Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank demanding an investigation into Eason Jordan's claims?

Claims they witnessed themselves.

[CyberAnt]

DOJ is investigating Sandy. We're not hearing anything because the DOJ is not leaking stuff about it - thank goodness.

[Dane]

See how easy it is?

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or trying to start a flame war, but I'll ignore it.

I posted this just to show how desparate the left is and for Freepers to tear it apart.
