Let's see - what is the month after February? Hmmmm, is it March? What is the last day of February? Hmmm, is it the 28th? What is wrong with these people? Do they think we are that stupid?
I have wondered for quite a while what qualifies one to be a "journalist." There is no licensure I am aware of, no national test, not even a requirement that one have a degree in journalism. So what separates a guy like Gannon from say, Stephanopolos (does he have a journalism degree)? I am growing weary of anyone in the media looking down their noses at anyone else and suggesting that others are not "real" journalists. Not far behind is my fatigue at some congressmen who are suggesting some sort of inquiry into how Gannon got a WH press pass. They have enough to do on their own..... /rant off
Add Keith Olbermann and Ron Reagan
I suppose Paul Krugman could qualify for the list since in his own mind he is an expert on everything, and ergo is an expert journalist.
Free Republic is a blog??? It's not one in my opinion. It's a collection of news stories, both liberal and conservative in slant (with the appropriate barf alert for the liberal ones), and opportunities for readers to comment.
Douglas set the precedent...
"I don't think we feel pressured. But it does drive the agenda in a sense that stories pop up in the blog ether and, because people start talking about them, they need to be addressed or debunked. The Kerry mistress Form 180 story comes to mind.'"

Ironic, isn't it, that most of the stories here come straight out of the MSM and wires. It's just that they're the stories the MSM wants to claim they covered but really buried.
Lawrence "Liarrrreeaarrrgh!" O'Donnell is at the top.

I thought he meant CBS...
Dowd...Did her brother run around with a pooka?
Well, jeez, Mo, doncha think that might tell ya something about the desirability of your nasty self?
Even if you'd of been given a pass, you would of been put in the back of the room with that other old hag, Helen Thomas, if for no other reason than to keep the flies out from the front of the room.
Dana Milbank is living evidence of the propensity of the White House press corps to be dominated by drooling liberal morons pretending to mask their vicious temperaments with a thin veneer of snobbery.
...Maureen Dowd reveals, “I was rejected for a White House press pass at the start of the Bush administration, but someone with an alias, a tax evasion problem and Internet pictures where he posed like the ‘Barberini Faun’ is credentialed....”
Better Jeff Gannon (by a long shot) than a left-wing whore with manure for brains and a vicious tendency to attack her betters..... everyone assailed by Maureen Dowd should wear it as a badge of honor, because she is a reliable guide to the more depraved precincts of the liberal miasma.....
Well, now I understand why CJZ pics are on Dowd threads.
Thanks for actually explaining.
Bump to that.
the real barberini faun

Dana Priest, WaPo ("Jessica Lynch, Amazon" fabrication)
Dexter Filkins, NYT (Numerous Tendentious, and at least One Fabricated, reports from Iraq)
Think the list will probably have to be a Top (bottom?) Forty.
