The man who trained Jeff Gannon 'fesses up

[scoopmeister]

The man who trained Jeff Gannon at the Leadership Institute has 'fessed up -- on the new Huffington Post, no less! Get this -- he's the anchorman for a top-rated station in Pittsburgh, Scott Baker

He's an LI grad himself -- a conservative mole sent out into a key job in the mainstream media. And his big scoop? The Teresa Heinz Kerry "shove it" quote! Read the whole thing:

1. Thanks, another piece of the puzzle...

drip drip drip.

2. As a Pittsburgher I can verify that Baker is indeed conservative

He was married to a woman who was very Christian (she had a voice like a valley girl), Ruth Ann, and I believe she was a born again and I think they had kids. He divorced her to marry a former beauty queen.

I'm not surprised at this.

9. Very interesting...

I just checked out Huffingtons new blog and was impressed with it, though I didn't see this post at the time. I do find it bothersome that this indicates that there will be a mix of liberals and conservatives on her blog-I think she should keep it all liberal-but that's just me. :shrug:

[blm]

16. Throughout the 90s, Arianna was a louder voice screaming "LIBERAL MEDIA!"

And she has done little to address that blatant lie, although she plays a fair game of faux progressive every now and then.

She will never admit that it is a corporate media that squelches the truth about the fascist agenda of BushInc. She's too busy blaming Democrats as if they own the press.

19. Apparently you haven't heard her on the radio much

Or you would see that your interpretation is flawed and your claims are unsupported when one takes into account her entire oeuvre.

Sorry to piss on your fire just when it gets started, but sometimes it's best that way - I'd hate to see you sink lower. I won't bore you with screeds of links, but here's one illuminating link and quote that illustrates your error since she clearly does claim, quite stridently too, that the media is suppressing the truth about Bush.

+++
Calling the media "shallow, obsessive, toxic, lazy, and conformist," columnist Huffington wondered aloud why the mainstream media hasn't yet held the White House accountable during its march to war. Reacting to Bush's press conference on Thursday, Huffington proclaimed, "Have you ever seen lap dogs behave more obediently? Are they afraid of losing their all-access pass to the White House?"

And that took 10 seconds to find on google. There's so much more. Maybe you should rethink your attack on Arianna.

11. What means this?

"I’m still not clear on (sorry all hyperlinks on this one freak me out) his evident self-description of “Position: Top.” Except that I now gather that it has endangered the nuptial bonds of Julia and Brad."

Who are Julia and Brad and what does their marriage have to do with Gannon?

[unblock]

12. actress julia louis-dreyfus and writer/husband brad hall

who previously wrote piece for the blog sarcastically complaining that gay marriages were causing them marital strife (sanctity of marriage crap).

13. "I’m the guy who taught Jeff Gannon everything he knows about journalism."

That must have been one short fucking lesson.

And I didn't get that pun when I first read it.:-)
