Meet the New Jeff Gannon
At today's press conference we were introduced to what appears to be the latest White House plant; "Joe" pitched the following softball (video): http://dissent.blogspot.com/2005_12_18_dissent_archive.html#113504374910675434

"You said last night that there were only two options in Iraq -- withdraw or victory. And you asked Americans, especially opponents of the war, to reject partisan politics. Do you really expect congressional Democrats to end their partisan warfare and embrace your war strategy? And what can you do about that to make that happen?"



Oddly enough, Bush still fumbled for a coherent response.

18. Very interesting...
There was quite a bit of information on connections between (Jeff Gannon) Talon News (Bobby Eberle) and Moon's UPI.

9. Joseph Curl of the Washington Times. Here's what Media Matters
recently had to say about Joe:

"Wash. Times reporter Joseph Curl's pattern of misinformation
In recent weeks, the Washington Times White House correspondent has made regular appearances on Fox News to discuss the investigation into the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. Media Matters for America examined four appearances by Curl on Fox News Live since October 13; in at least three of them, Curl offered or confirmed false or misleading statements regarding the Plame case or its participants."

13. The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies and is
a mouth piece for the very "Christian" Republican administration. The leader of the Moonies recently went on some trip with Jeb.
