Anderson Cooper's bit on the Gannon story was pretty damned good.
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 08:18 PM by JanMichael
I missed the Wolf/Kurtz presstitution fest but it seems that Cooper acted as a balance.

He didn't go off half cocked and attack Gannon but he asked the right questions of his solo Dem guest.

He made it clear that the WH and Talon refused to appear on the show and he even tried to play their role.

He also kept insinuating that "Gannon" may not be his real name, also that Talon was a Republican operative's company.

The "I hear ya'" to the Dem Congresswoman's rant on how she's tired of paid shills was great.

PS~ Sorry if this is a dupe.

2. It was an accident. I lost the remote.
Normally I don't watch any MSM...But I was too lazy to change the channel.

6. This guy has been sitting amongst the WH press corps for years.
And none of them ever bothered to question his being there.

7. IIRC it's been two years. However that's no excuse.
Gannon should heve been challenged as a Bush plant after his first astro-turf question.
