Default James Guckert (aka Jeff Gannon)

Why did the White House authorize a male prostitute into the White House
Press Corps (for two years, on a "daily" basis!), to lob softball
questions to the president during press conferences, whenever he got
into trouble with real questions from real journalists?

This is so goddamn funny.

Hasn't every administration had, if not prosties, at least 'friendly'
reporters they could turn to in that way since the end of the Truman
years? Maybe before then, but we had men with more chutzpah as
presidents before then, or so it seems to me. And less press
conferences were expected. As well as press conferences then being
more regarded as chances for the president to push his policies than
as chances to get other information.

Oh, OK. I guess it's perfectly normal for administrations to hire male
prostitute shills to serve up softball questions in press conferences.

On Friday Ed Schultz called the Leadership Institute(LI), where Gannon got
his journalism training. The woman from LI said that they trained
conservative journalist and had 3 hour programs and 1 week programs. They
had guest professors many of whom were reporters working for Bob Novak and
once you were trained at LI, they would place you in jobs at Fox or other
mainstream news orgaization.ut "to the chase" for my email address.
Here's the place
http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/index_flash.cfm
For only $60 you too can be a conserative talk show host. There a non
partisan group or it says at the bottom of the website. If you want to be
sure of that click the training link and read the list of neocons that they
have trained.

Didn't say it was okay. Just that it's seemed to me to be common
practice. I think it's helping dumb down the public, but it's not as
if the president (or, it would seem much of the rest of the media)
care what I think. Cannabalism was common in Melansia or thereabouts,
too. I don't think that's a good thing, either. Brain parasites were
the physical result. Bad news reporting has a similar metaphysical
effect.

Geeze, I dunno RW. Maybe Hillary was around.
BTW, you never sent me a big fish photo to post on my fish site. I couldn't
find your old site to "borrow" one from. A steely preferred.
Thanks,
Guy
