JohnJamesGannonGuckert

-- Gannon-Guckert appears at white house press briefings with NO journalistic background; 2003.

-- GucknnenGagert asks very "nice" questions at these briefings.

-- Is given a new pass EVERYDAY, never having to undergo the credentialing process (read: no background check? Ever? And no journalistic background?).

-- AND ?GuckertJohnJamesGannon? is a male escort. Who...? How...? Oh man...

From TheGuardian:

Thus a phony journalist, planted by a Republican organisation, used by the White House press secretary to interrupt questions from the press corps, protected from FBI vetting by the press office, disseminating smears about its critics and opponents, some of them gay-baiting, was unmasked not only as a hireling and fraud but as a gay prostitute, with enormous potential for blackmail.

The Bush White House is the most opaque - allowing the least access for reporters - in living memory. Every news organisation has been intimidated, and reporters who have done stories the administration finds discomfiting have received threats about their careers. The administration has its own quasi-official state TV network in Fox News; hundreds of rightwing radio shows, conservative newspapers and journals and internet sites coordinate with the Republican apparatus.

... All prime examples of this.
