The Fox silence is deafening
No facts at all but I highly suspect a Gannon Fox connection. They haven't once mentioned this story, let's all keep digging there's something to this.

1. Again the problem is the democrats in Congress
they should be making noise, but no, they just quietly circulate letters around calling for an investigation

The only way to deal with a bully is to confront them

3. I wish I had
some "connections" I truely believe there is a Gannon/Fox thing going on. All the other outlets have at least mentioned it but Fox still refuses to do so. My guess is those internal memos Fox says they don't get have told them never to mention Boy-Toy-Bulldog at all.

42. I just emailed the DNC about this.
I told them that I thought Howard Dean wasn't going to allow opportunities like this to go unexploited. I don't know why there's NOTHING up at their website about (if nothing else) these requests for investigations.

6. Ha Ha!
"BTW, why is the Left using homosexuality as a weapon against Gannon?"

Ha Ha

Why are right wing whack jobs so nervous? As long as you accept Jesus into your life, you can get absolution for anything. Homosexuality, pedophilia, genocide...

It's all so simple...

29. I watch Fox alot and I have NEVER heard Gannon mentioned
since the story broke. When I hear Fred Barnes say something (in support of Gannon no doubt) then I will acknowledge Fox's reporting of it. The only "weapon" brought up so far has been Bulldog's 8-incher (Excuse the bad pun).

8. A connection, like this?
http://mediamatters.org/items/200502100001

HANNITY: Now, Jeff Gannon, who is a terrific Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for Talon News, actually shot me an e-mail today, and he's about to break a story in an exclusive about these CBS documents.

Gee, Sean it sucks when they have you on tape.

Fox and the White House are one. Just like Gannon was not a plant by the bush
administration but a part of it (the administration).

15. Nice repeated attempts to change the subject from Gannon's shilling for
Bush as a WH "correspondent" to the left's supposed intolerance of gays for exposing him.

Good luck with it.

the guy on the corner drinking out of a paper bag to fix your car? Would you allow the kid at the McDonald's drive through to report the news to you in a fair manner? Hell would you allow Fox to report the news in a fair manner? Maybe you would.

> if you are relying on less than 5 sources in this media atmosphere, you are looking to be deluded

You don't need 5 sources here - we got the LBN, remember? ;-)

The truth isn't hard to find, unity of what IS the truth is.

We agree - you don't.

22. You can tell they're worried...
There is no defensing the indefensible...

So they attack the messenger.

A sign of a weak-minded enemy, to say the least.

25. yeah
and try and turn the debate into something else such as gay bashing. I've not seen one person bash Gannon for that. I have however seen him bashed for being a lier, a shill for the rethugs, and just being very stupid. My guess is the person here won't see the crack of dawn.

44. It's too bad the posts couldn't remain for all to see the hippocracy
of the right-wing. The statement "Why does the Left always choose to gay-bash" says it all. He was a Rovian Freeper for sure! Masters of deflecting the real issue with a contentious comment. A 180. A chickenshit bait-attempt. I feel sorry for those shallow, brainless sub-humans.

35. This is a privately-owned web site
So no, your first amendment rights don't apply here.

Skinner has the right to exclude whomever he wishes. Perhaps a quick read of the rules will clear things up:

WHO IS WELCOME ON DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, AND WHO IS NOT

We welcome Democrats of all stripes, along with other progressives who will work with us to achieve our shared goals.

This is a "big tent" message board. We welcome a wide range of progressive opinion. You will likely encounter many points of view here that you disagree with.

We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. Bush is doing a swell job, or if you wish to see Republicans win, or if you are generally supportive of conservative ideals, please do not register to post, as you will likely be banned.

If you have been banned from Democratic Underground, you are not permitted to log on again using a different username. Previously banned members will be immediately banned, regardless of behavior.

People who repeatedly and willfully break the rules, or who generally engage in rude, antisocial behavior, will be banned. It doesn't matter if you are a progressive or a long-term member of this board.
</snip>



Does that clear things up for you?

28. I recall Scotty M. saying in one of his press conferences that staff
assistances look over the credentials--but he never really said who had actually given Jeff the pass. Does anyone know if someone is trying to follow up on this? I suspect they are--but sure has dropped off the radar screen last few days or so.

33. Gannon was cleared by Rove...
Rove is a micro-manager from hell.

There is NO WAY IN HELL that Rove wasn't stage crafting every second of "Jeff Gannon's" existence...

Control freaks hold him up as their idol.

39. Gannon was the source (according to Gannon) of a lot of
Hannity's stories. When the threads from the Free Republic started appearing where Gannon named Hannity (is that spelled correctly?) Hannity called the Free Republic a fringe (lunatic) group.

48. Understand that Hannity denouncing the Free Republic is my
interpretation only. I don't know "why" Hannity denounced them, I can only look at what has happened and draw my own conclusions.

49. My, this thread sure has attracted a lot of trolls.
They must really be defensive & worried.

Now, we have a mystery here, don't we? Why is Faux news so silent, and why did Hannity denounce FR?

Motive, method, opportunity. Aren't those the keys to solving mysterities?

Possible motive for Faux: there is not only a known link to leaks at the wh, but may also be a "professional" relationship with someone at faux who makes a lot of money for them. If said relationship is exposed, big time trouble. So, are any of their big money-makers suspected/known to be gay? Method & opportuity: that's easy, they just don't talk about it.

I'd agree with the earlier poster, who says Hannity wants to distance himself, perhaps because jimmy/jeff is identified with FR. Or, more likely, some at FR know too much, and he wants to discredit them beforehand. Remember, 4 or 5 years ago, the freepers were digging into the child sex abuse big time. They were more interested in taking down Barney Frank, but some of them may have learned some sordid facts.
