Gannon embarrasses himself every time he's on television. [New Video]
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 07:01 PM by Hatalles
As seen on C-SPAN.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200504080006

Shows up to the Press Club Panel with a dishonest map printed with bad ink then says "Well, you can hardly call Fox News conservative" -- audience breaks out in laughter. James/Jeff proceeds to mutter and stutter on.

3. I kind of feel sorry for him
He is so uninformed about journalistic practices that it is sad.

Of course, much of MSM is too.

:dilemma:

"What I find interesting about the Armstrong Williams, uh, case, is that, uh, in order for the Administration to get a fair hearing on the "No Child Left Behind Act," it had -- it actually had to *pay* somebody to say it."

L-O-Friggin' L!

Does he not understand what he's saying?! :rofl:

5. Have there been other characters in our history who have sought
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 07:07 PM by higher class
the public eye with as dramatic a dual career as he has....

i.e., phoney journalist and authentic male escort-prostitute?

I know there could never have been any who posed on the worldwide internet as 'pro-actively' as he has.

7. what a shmuck
I can't believe that that is allowed to even happen.

Audacity vs. Professionalism is never a fair fight because one side is willing to say anything to lower the debate.

9. Just watched it.
Too bad it doesn't have the guy yelling at the end.

GOD he's pathetic. It WAS going to be in purple, but my printer ran out of ink? So it's green?

Get that guy off the stage. He's just useless and pathetic and a wannabe.

10. i just got done watching it on cspan, i think what was worse
was when he said the question he asked that got him into to trouble wasn't wrong it's just that when he quoted Harry reid he should have said "As if there were going to be soup lines" That one got me, the fox "News" thing was just dumb but the making up quotes and his shit job trying to rationialize what he did was telling, he has no skills at all, well none that i want to think about but he proved himself a total hack and once again raises the question of who exactly let him in. I think some of the questons and back and forth between he and the panelists was rather good, the guy next to him asked him some pointed question.
