WH stooge in the WH press corp attempted to freep CBS this morning
In the WH press gaggle this morning

JEFF GANNON, TALON NEWS:

Despite warnings that the release of the Abu Ghraib pictures might put Americans in danger, CBS went ahead and did it anyway. The feeding frenzy over these photos has been briefly interrupted by the video of Nick Berg being brutally beheaded. But they won't show that on the air.

Do you find any inconsistency with regard to the media treatment for releasing these photographs they knew would inflame the Arab street, but not airing something that they also know would inflame the American street, or at least the center and the right part of it?

MR. McCLELLAN:

What's important is that America shows the world how we act when these kind of issues come to light, when prisoners are mistreated. And we act by holding people responsible who committed these acts, and taking steps to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. It stands in stark contrast to a regime like Saddam Hussein's who tolerated and encouraged these kind of activities.


Does it surprise anyone that Jeff Talon took last night's freeper campaign of CBS to the WH press gaggle this morning? Freepers will do anything to silence the media.

Was is surprising is how low the WH goes by even having a writer for an online site as a member of his WH Press Corp. If the WH needed a stooge, couldn't they get an actual news reporter for the job?
