My friend lured me over to the dark side today with an article written by Joseph Farah
No Subsitute for Real Journalism from the WorldNetDaily.com. Please do not laugh at my ignorance but I am not at all familiar with this website but my friend mentioned it was a right wing website. I read the article and then checked it out to see if it was right winged. Sure enough, I spotted an Ann Coulter article
Republicans, Bloggers, and Gays, oh my
Please read the two articles carefully so we can put together a pattern of how they are going to counter the Propagannon. Ann Coulter is using the:
- LIE method: he was a hooker years ago
- He is only guilty of being gay, yadda yadda.
- Lots of people use fake names
The heretofore-unknown Jeff Gannon of the heretofore-unknown "Talon News" service was caught red-handed asking friendly questions at a White House press briefing. Now the media is hot on the trail of a gay escort service that Gannon may have run some years ago.
There's more
Gannon is only being accused of being gay.
Liberals keep rolling out a scrolling series of attacks on Gannon for their Two Minutes Hate, but all their other charges against him fall apart after three seconds of scrutiny. Gannon's only offense is that he may be gay.
Gannon only had a day pass which anybody can get.
Gannon didn't have a permanent pass; he had only a daily pass. Almost anyone can get a daily pass - even famed Times fantasist Maureen Dowd could have gotten one of those. A daily pass and a permanent pass are altogether different animals.
So what if he had a fake name, everybody does it.
Any day now, Matthews will devote entire shows to exposing Larry Zeigler, Gerald Riviera and Michael Weiner - aka Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Matthews'former MSNBC colleague Michael Savage. As a newspaper reporter, Wolf Blitzer has written under the names Ze'ev Blitzer and Ze'ev Barak. The greatest essayist of modern times was Eric Blair, aka George Orwell. The worst essayist of modern times is "TRB" of The New Republic. Air America radio host and "Nanny" impersonator "Randi Rhodes" goes by a fake name, and she won't even tell people what her real last name is.
O.K. Kossacks. Can we please go through these two articles and come up with a counter attack strategy? I would like to know if we have confirmed what kind of pass Gannon had.
