It seems to me that a genuine effort to pass it off as a nonpartisan news agency would have been slicker, and lacked the obvious GOP connection. Another good question from Bill Press: If this guy was fake, how come none of the mainstream journalists in the press room ever said anything about him?I also agree with Kurtz that it was the stuff about Gannon's personal life that led to his resignation, and that there's something rather sleazy about that. Backstage or not, targeting parts of people's lives that don't have to do with the story -- like, say, Eason Jordan's love life -- seems inappropriate to me, and likely to lend support to the bloggers-as-lynch-mob caricature.
2. Today's barn-burner in Raw Story...
Is Scottie McClellan damaged goods yet? What did George W. Bush know and when did he know it?
3. The Rigorous Institution piece on Craig Spence and the parallels to today...(Or my blog snippet of it.)
BTW, that last blog is excellent...
