People are completely missing my point. This has nothing to do with this one guy, it has to do with the way the media is sweeping this scandal under the rug. Is Rather a liberal? Sure, probably. Does he control a news network? No. My point is that, the fact that this Gannon scandal is not one of the biggest stories of the year proves that the media is nothing but a mouthpiece for the government. I mean it's far from the only example, or even the best one, but this should be the most glaringly obvious one to most people at the moment.
I still find it hilarious that the media has determined that the biggest scandal of the past 5 years, and the only one worthy of a "gate", is a reporter who used a bad source. Torturing people? No problem, under the rug in 6 months, we won't even release one tenth of the pictures. Leaking the name of an active CIA agent? (talk about a crime) No problem, in fact we don't even need to investigate. Bush completely lied to whip up war hysteria so he could invade a defenseless nation that posed no threat to anyone? No problem, we'll tell the people that we were there to bring them democracy all along. lol, and so on, and so on, and so on. I swear to God Bush could rape an underage, mentally disabled child on the white house lawn and it would barely make the CNN ticker.
