"Planting or even just sanctioning a political operative in the WH press room is a dangerous precedent and Karl Rove's hope to become a respected policymaker will be hampered if the dirty tricks from his political past are more apparent than his desire to spread liberty around the globe."

Oh that's rich. CBS lecturing on dirty tricks.

CNN has Gannon on right now.

Seems that they are going down with the liberal ship and trying to find a story where there is not one.

NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT GANNON FELLA HAVE SHOWN THAT HIS WORK IS WRONG.

They are simply going after him because he did not bash the White House.

Using your link to CBS there big as day was DOTTY LYNCH as the author. Then did a google search and guess what....She's a Ted Kennedy Republican hating Dum feminazi propagandist. WHY DID YOU POST AN ARTICLE FROM THIS DUM TROLL WITHOUT NOTIFYING US OF HER BACKGROUND?

I'm still having trouble with this...How is this a story?
I guess the MSM has to ignore Iraq now that it is turning out okay. They seem more concerned with the press creditials of some unknown.
P.S. - Anybody ever heard of Helen Thomas?

Wow! CBS got Karl Rove, the CPAC, Ronald Reagan, and the NRA all in the first paragraph!

Boy, you know the Republicans are instantly guilty of something when you have that sordid cast of characters together in one sentence!

In Lynch's her own words: "From 1972 until 1985 I worked in politics as a pollster for Democratic candidates and liberal causes. Most of the candidates, most notably Presidential contenders George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy and Gary Hart, were simpatico with my liberal values and I felt somewhat fulfilled in working through them to build a better society. I had become a very ardent feminist...."

Why are you surprised....look who CBS has as head of it's POLITICAL (PROPAGANDA) BUREAU.

I am liking Jeff Gannon more every day---he is driving the lefties nuts---and of course CBS would be one of the ones to keep the story going---

I think Keith Olbermann should work for CBS, he loves the suspicious stuff---

BTW, just heard on Harball the Meet the Press is having on Hillary and John McCain this Sunday---I guess Timmy is up front about his leftiness, I think his headline guest has been an uber lefty every week, hastn't he?

What does that sentence mean?

I wrote to her:
I very much look forward to your next article describing the more noteworthy statements from Eason Jordan over the years and outlining his ties to the Democratic party.

On the other hand, to spend time on such a story, you would have to judge that CNN has at least as much influence as Talon news.

thank you for your time.

What would be the difference even if Rove and Eberle were friends? Clinton and his Whitehouse staff didn't have friends among the media? They never favored those friends with interviews. Hillary doesn't pick and choose who she talks to? This is just another cBS story.

I just saw Anderson Cooper on CNN do an interview with Gannon.

The only journalistic complaint Cooper could list is that people complain that Gannon would quote transcripts of Press Releases from the White House...

WHICH IS WHAT EVERY JOURNALIST ON THE PLANET, INCLUDING THOSE AT CNN AND THE NY TIMES, DO!!!!!!!!!!

Gannon stated that his job was to produce an unvarnised report of what the White House stance was.

SO CNN and others feel that unless the journalists makes stuff up and edits what is actually going on in a WH presser....they are not real???????

It seems that the rest of the media, then, and not the Gannon fellow, should be explaining why they don't report strictly what is said in the White House press conferences.

The fact that Cooper and others would complain about somebody strictly reporting what is said by the White House...when reporting on what the White House is saying...
JUST SHOWS THAT COOPER AND THE REST OF THE MSM SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HONEST WITH US IN THEIR REPORTS ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE!



I realize that the fact that the White House will state something and then the MSM will quote them saying the exact opposite of what was actually said...is nothing new to anybody.

I was just making a point. And Anderson Cooper has help to prove that point.

I know you didn't ask me, and I can't say for sure what the sentance means, but I truly think the lefties think that Karl Rove is the Nazi magician, able to create any kind of havoc in the world----

Good, let's let them keep thinking that---the loonies!

Howlin--do you know if there will be a live thread for the CPAC stuff on C-span tonight?

I think it's funny you selected that sentence to post about--that was the sentence that convinced me this article was a "skimmer" instead of a "reader".

It seems to be an attempt to set up the "story" for this issue: If Rove planted Gannon in the press room (and I doubt it, considering the guy rarely asked questions), then that means he will be known as "The guy who planted Gannon," and a scoundrel, and thus will not be able to be an effective asst. chief of staff (or whatever).

Every issue has a "story"--what is this REALLY? (For example, the memos CBS faked: the story was that there were memos proving that the president did X,Y or Z, but the "story" was that this was evidence the president lied and should not be re-elected.

IMHO, that line is an attempt to set up the "story" behind this story.

I think its folks like CBS and CNN that should be explaining things.
