From Americablog, the blog that brought you the Jeff Gannon scandal:
According to my source, Gannon’s insider tidbits were always on the mark. “Gannon’s stuff was always golden,” the producer says. My source says they kept asking themself, “how does this small news outfit get this info?”
Now, I’m not going to get into this story (for one thing, Americablog has been all over it; for another, I can’t believe we have to debate whether or not hookers should have White House press passes under fake names), other than to say: The problem with our current press corps in a nutshell!
“How does this small news outfit get this info?” How, indeed? Why, it’s so puzzling, someone oughta get right on it, do some investigation, figure it out!
Too bad we don’t have anyone around capable of, say, taking an extremely puzzling question and, you know, trying to find the answer.
Too bad we have reporters in Iraq who are just like those in the press pool. They let the Pentagon report where troops have been attacked and then repeat it. No wonder people think we’re losing.
The press is simply reporting what the Pentagon is telling them…and that’s why we think we’re losing?
In all seriousness: why do you think we’re winning, and where do you get your information from?
Pertaining to the press and what is reported to the public, the journalists get their martching orders from the higher up in the invisible government called the Tri-Lateral Commission/Council on Foreign Relations. That is the way it is and will always be until the masses somehow get organized and fight back. Will that happen, I doubt it because MASSES ARE ASSES and the insiders know it. So much for a great country. God bless America.
