He is a disgusting weasel who should be fired. He is on my Top Ten list of people I want driven out of journalism.
Pfui!
That pretty much sums it up for me.
This is such a non-story that has the left with their panties in a wad. Don't they have anything better to spend their time on? If the DUmmies and the Daily KOS are representative of the Democrat party, they should just give up right now. They are boring everyone to death.
And then Milbank and Dowd will be out of a job because they cannot compete in real-time with those who can.
Noooooooooooooooooo, musn't have that. Must keep the news centalized so people with "journalism" degrees can dole it out to us undeserving peons as they see fit.
The Left is pretty desperate these days to make a scandal. I didn't know who Jeff Ganon was before this story and I've yet to see a reason why anyone should care.
Notice that whether or not a "friendly" reporter had a White House pass is what is supposed to pass for news these days? The leftists in the press corps and otherwise are so damn worked up about those of us on the right that they'll seize on anything to make us out to be bad guys...
Freeper law 345a section 5 paragraph 3a;
"One must post CZJ pictures when one posts an article by or about Maureen Dowd because Maureen is a self absorbed elitist who does searches on her name to see what people are saying about her, whereas threads by Freerepublic will show up in that search, and when she visits she must be reminded that no matter how liberal she tries to be to get back Michael Douglas, she never will because Michael is married to CZJ who is much hotter than Maureen."
"The white house is too secretive!"
"The white house gives access too easily!"
Make up your minds!
Well, Maureen, actually, I know you may find this a bit embarrassing, but his credentials are better than yours. He actually leaves the office from time to time before he writes up a story. You make yours up straight out of your head--or some other part of your body, perhaps.
What I find absolutely stunning is that the WH would offer press credentials to MoDo , but, not someone from FR.
MoDo has a BA in English lit and years of indoctrination at the NYT.
Maybe it was her job as a sports columnist for the defunct Washington Star that gives her the edge on the more educated and better grounded Freepers.
Milbank thinks that FR is static, he has no idea that it is a constantly flowing stream of new information, ideas and links to other outlets of information.
FR is a news portal, in fact, it's The News Portal, not a dead end , like todays's newspapers and evening news broadcasts.
I posted this on another forum last night.
" With an estimated 8 million blogs in the US last year and 32 million readers "
Added to the members and lurkers of conservative forums like FR and the millions of listeners to talk radio, there are an enormous amount of people who get their news from the ascendant media .
But, are not allowed any representation at WH briefings and Presidential press conferences.
Imagine a press conference where people from Rush Limbaugh to Jim Robinson to DFU to Sean Hannity to Hugh Hewitt to Howlin to Miss Marple to Laura Ingraham and reps from Captain's Quarters and Power Line and on and on and on were allowed to ask intelligent, insightful and thought provoking questions of elected officials- in one forum.
I still don't understand why this WH does not conduct separate press briefings with the ascendant media-even on an experimental basis.
It could even be a teleconference type situation where a bunch of citizen journalists were allowed to take turns asking the President and/or McClellan questions.
What is the WH afraid of ?
That Terry Moran and John Roberts and David Gregory and Maureen Dowd might become upset and cease their puff pieces on the President and his policies ? ( sarcasm off )
I think that sums up her situation nicely!
Well, if Gannon isn't the most important story, Dana, why don't you devote your attention to something else?
Is World-O-Crap an actual site or is he referring to DU?
"I can see us reaching a point where conservatives get their news exclusively from Free Republic and liberals get it from World-o-Crap"
.... hmmm, if that "world-o-crap" is a new term for "MSM" and New York Times, I'm cool with it.
ROFL
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?
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.
