Since you mention Gannon...off topic tangent...on Fox Special Report Grapevine Jim Angle reported how the basis of many reporters objecting to Gannon on the grounds of ideology or working for a non-traditional outfit seems to be without merit.
He cited as one example a fellow who works for a Nader outfit and gets the same kind of day passes Gannon got and then Angle reported on one of this guy's recent questions at a briefing. It was if President Bush believed the 6th commandment of thou shalt not kill applied in Iraq.
I saw that too, cyn.
