Media takes it sitting down from Gannon

According to Matthew Cooper, the White House correspondent for Time Magazine, Washington has been lapping up this case of sex and subterfuge in the city.

"It's got everything that gets gossip going. It's got sex, it's got national security, how did he get so close to the president? The pseudonym, it's got intrigue, so it's the kind of thing that gets people talking," Mr Cooper said.

So, why isn't Time writing a story on it? And why hasn't this received more attention? The mainstream media has dropped this story, like a right-wing lawyer dropping a c-note for Guckert in a motel room.

Where are the answers to the serious questions? And how is it that not only was a he a working (gay male) prostitute with ties to a National Security leak, but no one in the White House is being questioned about it?

The BBC story opens:

The Bush administration has already come under fire for paying commentators to espouse its views.

And now journalists themselves are questioning whether their profession is being undermined.

The answer is OF COURSE THEIR PROFESSION IS BEING UNDERMINED. The White House placed an actual male prostitute in the middle of the White House Press Corps, and no one noticed for 2 years!!

The media is ignoring this story, but not because of partisan politics or even laziness. No, the Mainstream Media is ignoring this story because it reveals its own incompetence. And every working journalist who currently identifies themselves as a "professional" should feel shame and embarressment at how easily they were rendered useless.
