Reply #20: What do you say we help them out a little?

[Us vs Them]

This is absurd.

If I were in office today I'd certainly have the balls to talk about it. It doesn't seem that difficult, and one needn't even take a strong position. Just reiterate the facts.

"Since this incident has been brought to light by the tenacious investigation of independent media sources on the web, details of the "Jeff Gannon" story continue to turn more sordid. A man who has been allegedly used to selling himself for table scraps has gained suspiciously unprecedented access to the President in a time when media already faces high scrutiny and is often incapable of defending its own credibility. I am appalled. This man with an assumed identity and no real journalism experience gained access to the White House and was called on to ask puffball questions at a time when the administration felt a bit too 'pressured' by the corporate media. If only real life were that easy."
