Meet the new Jeff Gannon

His name is Joseph Curl of the Washington Times.

http://dissent.blogspot.com/2005_12_18_dissent_archive.html#113504374910675434

He lobbed this softball up to Bush at Monday morning's press conference:

"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?"

MediaMatters flagged him as a misinformation promoter back in November:

Wash. Times reporter Joseph Curl's pattern of misinformation

In recent weeks, Washington Times White House correspondent Joseph Curl 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. This year, Curl has appeared often on Fox News Live to discuss topics that relate to his coverage of the White House, such as the Supreme Court nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. In addition, as Media Matters and others have documented, Curl previously provided misleading accounts in his news reporting for the Times.

Curl has appeared four times on Fox News Live since October 13 to discuss the Plame case. During three of those appearances, he promoted or confirmed misinformation about the investigation:

Just another propagandist. What else is new these days? I wonder if he's on the Bush payroll also!
