Ms. Hyphenate's idea of a "journalist":

"The way I look at this,” says Daily Kos’ Gardner, “[Gannon] is just one more piece to a bigger puzzle that we’ve seen for the past couple months -- attempts by the Republican media complex not necessarily to fight the media but to become the media.”

Got into a 'debate' with my liberal sister on the subject of Gannon. She thinks this is just horrible & emblematic of all the sinister dealings of the Bush Whitehouse. As if the Bush Whitehouse were the first to try to manipulate the Media in pursuit of favorable coverage? C'mon!

I just said that granting Gannon a set of Whitehouse Press Credentials was 'spitting on the sidewalk' compared with ABC News' hiring of George Stephanopolus during the Clinton Administration. I mean what, exactly, is a "Journalist" when ABC can pull a stunt like that?
