Well, I'm lazy, so I gave up trying after not too much searching for old Gannon articles. And I really don't entirely have my hands around this story....
But Gannon was kicked out of the White House press corp because he was not using his real name, and was ostracized by the press for not being a real reporter.
Here we have a real reporter? that used a fake name to affect an election being protected by the press.
Seems to me that someone should be able to find more then a few quips from "highly respected MSM reporters" on that Gannon situation that would be roundly applicable to the md4bush situation. (Or maybe I don't get it.)
My problem, which I think is why this story is precarious in the gen public's mind, is that it's still too esoteric as to what happened. Too hard for Jill 6-pak to understand. A simple "they said X about Gannon, now they say Y about MD4BUSH...."
This story requires reading the FAQ/"primer" to understand it! You didn't need an FAQ to understand Watergate, or even the Gannon thing, even if the Gannon thing was crap. The MSM owned that story and they won it. I'm afraid, lawsuit or not, that the MSM could easily win this with a simplified story.
