What do you think would happen, if there was a demoract reporter writing derogatory articles about a high ranking Republican, calling him gay, etc, and a democratic White House repeatedly gave him press passes and called on him to ask softball questions? Then, said reporter turned out to be not in fact a reporter, but a gay prostitute with a blog? There would be 24/7 coverage on every major news network, in fact it would be one of the biggest stories of the year.

Not to mention the fact that this gay prostitute was leaked the Valerie Plame documents, which was top secret government information that exposed an active CIA agent. (Wash Post reported that he had received these documents).

Now I ask, anyone heard much about this Jeff "Gannon" story on TV news? No, you haven't, it's been brushed aside like nearly everything else negative about this White House, yet you've heard many times about "Rathergate" and the producers that were forced to quite over it.

If you can look at these two incidents, and still honestly say that any of the mainstream US media is biased against Bush, well, you have serious comprehension problems. Everything Americans watch on TV is controlled by 6 companies, and right now they're pushing the right wing agenda and legitimizing Bush's actions in ways that are quite obvious to any well informed viewer.

Sorry about the rant but I just heard some fool talking about the "liberal media" and I couldn't help but laugh in his face. I'd like to see if any GFYers are still blind enough to buy into this silly bit of misinformation.
