CNN just reported american blog

[medeak]

story WHEW!

[Goldmund]

1. What did they say?

[Bluebear]

5. "Yes! Bloggers did the same thing to Dan Rather....

when he reported stories about President Bush!" - Kurtz

Referred people to wonkette for the PG version and Americablog for the XXX version....'blog writers/readers are generally smart and they are driving what we report on these days'....Americablog is a 'liberal' website...average age of blog readers is under 30...a fascinating area having some influence and has affected some people's jobs...

[Pirate Smile]

8. Dismissed it as personal stuff. Kurtz is a complete idiot.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

11. No! KKKurtz is a mediawhore and his wife's a Rethuglican who...

works for Arnold S!

that's what!

[Pirate Smile]

18. OK, yea, what you said!

:)

[skylarmae]

12. agreed, complete idiot....

oh, and lest we forget liar.... too!

[Mistress Quickly]

2. And?

What did they say?

[Sparkle]

3. Is that all they said..."American blog"

Info please!

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Yes, they just came on and said

"And in other news, 'Americanblog.'"

;-)

I don't know, I don't watch Corporate Whores. I'm just being silly.

[Nite Owl]

4. And?

For those of us who can't/won't listen...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. and what else???

[medeak]

9. said may be too racy to view

having story on bloggers....remarked that bloggers found Gannon to be lying about porn sites

[TalkingDog]

15. What a great way to get people to the site!

Trust me, the best way to get anyone interested is to tell them they shouldn't be because it's ..... "dirty".

Yay Reverse Psychology!

[blm]

10. Only as part of a blogosphere story. As if it's just runofthemill that

a gay hooker would pose as a journalist , get press privileges at the WH and access secret documents that out a CIA agent.

[janx]

14. Right. They played it down.

There are SO many blogs out there, after all--and 48 percent of the people who read blogs are under the age of 30...

[medeak]

20. I disagree... thought they portrayed stories as being true

as in Alan Keyes daughter...reporter said "I didn't think it was true" re her homosexuality but noted she had her own blog and came out.

Being interviewed on Wolfie today btw

[Pirate Smile]

22. They were reporting about her on MSNBC today too. That she was

coming out today at a rally and her parents have kicked her out and won't speak to her - RW family values at work.

[phusion]

16. Help...

I think I'm missing part of this story. Is "Gannon" the one who outed Plume originally?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. Wonder if Olberman will have Arivisu on tonight :)

[Walt Starr]

19. We need to get this information to Olberman QUICK

Get him the fact that his journalism alias and his escort alias are the same, and that Scottie McClellan always used the name "Jeff" when referring to him!

[thebigidea]

13. I liked how that woman at first tried to take credit for the story...

... before quickly correcting herself.

[Pirate Smile]

21. It would be nice if they would notice that Scotty said he didn't know

Gannon's real name for 2 years(in E&P under LBN).

How did he get in there then? Those are the real questions.

[Pachamama]

23. The Gannon/Guckert story is no where on CNN.com! Do a search and all that

turns up is their "soft story" from Feb. 10th.....

http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/02/09/white.house.reporter/index.html

So much for covering "Breaking News"....their heads are spinning...probably because they are all "in bed" with the White House....
