"Ye shall know them by their 'coverage'."
I have stopped watching the MSM--all cable news etc. until tonight because I wanted to see for myself how the Gannon story would be covered.

Scarbor
ough hasn't mentioned it yet. He led off with a dig at O'Malley for his comment about the President's budget but didn't even mention the exposed smear campaign against O'Malley.

Wolf and Krugman disgraced the entire CNN network with their bending over backwards or getting on their knees to white-wash the entire Gannon scandal. It was really embarrasing that they had the nerve to pass this off a 'reporting.'

KO did the best job with his guest Mr. M. They covered all issues about Gannon including his link to the Plame case.

I can't bear to watch anymore so the rest of you will have to fill in on how the others covered this story. I refuse to watch Matthews.

Do you mean Kurtz? Krugman is an economist who writes for the NYT, and I haven't heard anything about his being on CNN today........

or has the editing period expired?

9. OK, here we are on day 1 after the Gannon story. Not a word in the WP.
I couldn't even find an editorial in the Washington Post this am. I may have missed it but I don't think so.

They have until Saturday to report on this or we are canceling our subscription. This was the only print media subscription we had, having canceled all previous subs.
