That was some rally sick shit on CNN. Lost all respect for anything CNN
does or might do in the future. I won't say anymore. Media Matters and the Daily Kos will do a much better job of shreading Gannon's statements and Wolf's softball questions. This interview will not stop anything on this issue and the makes the WH look worse. Just need something to prove that Mac knew who this guy was all along.

This interview was outrageous.

7. Yeah, as he kept shifting his eye all over the place
What a joke.

Maybe he has been going to confession!

3. Counterpunch did a 'CNN and PsyOps' article back in 2000
You should read it.

www.counterpunch.org/cnnpsyops.html

If they could, they'd mess with an election...especially during wartime, don't you think ? Gannon aka 'whatever' is really small potatoes but he opens pandoras box so to speak.

4. agree
not sure I would call Gannon's question in WH press conferences "soft ball", but I sure would use that term to describe Wolf's. How about asking -- you say Talon News did not meet the criteria for a "hard pass", why not? This guy looked as shifty on the tube as his answers showed on the transcript with NPR when it came to questions about those credentials. And Wolf doesn't know what that talk is about the sex sites? Maybe he needs to read DU. The whole thing came off exactly as they wished -- like this guy was hounded out of his job by mean old bloggers because he said something negative about Reid and Hillary. For Pete's Sake!!

10. I haven't watched CNN or any television news since Nov.3, 2004
and I don't miss it a bit! I get all of my news online because I want to know what's really going on and I like to make my own decisions about it.
