DailyKOS and DU will just say Vanity Fair is owned by Republicans and under the direct control of Rove/CIA/BushCo./VRWC.
DU will launch a 2 Hours Hate against the new Enemies of the State, David Margolick and Richard Gooding.
They are obviously LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!!
"Gannongate" is an absurd excuse for a scandal. If President Bush wanted to give "Jeff Gannon" an exclusive interview - never mind a chance to ask a question alongside other private citizens - what is that to those other private citizens? Most of all, what is that to members of Congress?!But there is of course an understandable reason for the fury. At one and the same time those private citizens fancy themselves to be put-upon underdogs struggling against the Establishment, on the one hand, and the very embodiment of the Establishment and thus authorized to say who can be a member of their club and who cannot, on the other.
And the reason that Democratic members of Congress carry water for the journalists is also transparent: Democrats accept unconditionally that journalism is - and ought to be - the Establishment.. In all circumstances, if a journalist says "Jump!" Democratic politicians answer in chorus, "How high?!"
That's just what Karl Rove wants them to think.
All part of his master plan.
As I said from the beginning of this "scandal", the leftist bloggers that were going after Gannon with such zeal were fools, because what they should have said was, "I can't believe one of our own (a blogger) got ousted from the mainstream press corp simply because of some indiscretions in his past". They should have supported him as "one of their own", in an effort to bring down (what they percieve) as the "vast right wing media machine". (the mainstream press)
But noooo.
Simply because he wrote some conservative articles lambasting John Kerry before the election, they couldn't let their partisian hatred for him go, and thus, the leftist bloggers put politics over what they claim is their ultimate goal: To be accepted as reporters and news agencies as much as the mainstream press.
All their talk along those lines, and when it comes to actually getting "one of their own" (a blogger) in the White House Press Room, it becomes more important to bring a conservative one down, than actually achieving their "noble goal of equality".
What a bunch of hypocrites.
bump
Karl Rove owns Vanity Fair! DUmmies send your donations to Bev for a full investigation! LOL!
Maybe something to keep your eyes on when trolling at DU.
