Why Howard Kurtz shouldn't be the one to talk; esp. re: Gannon/Guckert

[blondeatlast]

I started a post earlier this morning, and have seen others throughout the day, that indicated many were unfamiliar with the reason Howard Kurts is a HYPOCRITICAL whore.

It all has to do with his wife; MSNBC "analyst" Shari Annis.

In brief: He is anything but objective. Here's a good assessment of the situation:

(snip)
“It’s ironic that Kurtz would suggest a conflict of interest between a couple. Kurtz is married to Sheri Annis, who is a GOP public relations strategist supporting the re-election of George W. Bush. Annis also was part of Arnold Schwartzneggar’s brain trust in his recall election. She also worked on a California voter proposition that would force immigrant children to speak English in school. She appears regularly on Chris Matthews’s “Hardball” program as a conservative pundit and writes for the National Review. She also worked on a campaign to stop “living wage” laws. She even calls her company Fourth Estate Strategies.

Not a bad idea, of course, when your husband is a prominent member of the Fourth Estate as a Washington Post columnist whose work is seen daily and, in another bit of irony, hosts CNN’s Reliable Sources, which is a program that is supposed to look critically at the media, his Post being one of the 800 lbs. gorillas of the industry.

It should put his behavior re: Guckert/Gannon in a whole new light for the uninitiated.

Edit: I also posted this because right now, I think he's vulnerable. I WANT HIM EXPOSED--and jobless, frankly.

1. Totally agree, he should NOT be touted as being someone

with any credibility to comment on this scandal. If he had ANY ethics he would 'recuse' himself but, seeing as he has none, he should be forced out.
