GannonGuckert must be growing legs
Notice how the media "chatter" about new terror warnings are suddenly all over the place again?

And it will work to kill the story...again. :eyes:

1. No offense intended but I think this is PATRIOT act related.
Bush went on the offensive supporting renewal of the act several days ago.

6. I believe it is
Check out todays stories

Eric Boehlert: Jeff Gannon's incredible access


MoDo: Bush's Barberini Faun


Frank Rich: The White House Stages its "Daily Show"


Sidney Blumenthal: A hireling, a fraud, and a prostitute



The first story is especially interesting. It claims that Gannon/Guckert had White House access before he worked for Talon. It's a Salon article, so you'll need a day pass.

7. The threat of throwing some of the MSM into the slammer
may also be weighing on their minds. Perhaps the idea that journalists may actually go to jail under this administration has finally opened a few minds to the fact that they've been turned into complete whores for the administration, who will turn on their own at the drop of a hat.

13. we need to write
Every newspaper and news program to get them to cover this. I think we should write them with the same enthusiasm as we wrote Sinclaire stations and advertisers. I think this could be the thing that breaks them......ruining their propaganda machine.
