One can always hope: " 2/19/2005 Mainstream press picks up pace on Gannon; New Yorker gets into the game Filed under: * General — site admin @ 2:03 pm Email This Heat from press rises on White House over Gannon By John Byrne \| RAW STORY Editor A broad array of mainstream publications and television networks are aggressively pursuing various angles of the burgeoning scandal surrounding discredited White House reporter Jeff Gannon, RAW STORY has learned. Washington sources tell RAW STORY that calls are flying around the District as much of the mainstream press seeks to catch up with online reporting–including some from such prestigious magazines as The New Yorker. The wire services have also begun digging, sources say, which could place the Gannon scandal in hundreds of smaller newspapers across America. Some suggest that the mainstream media–which initially left blogs and online outlets like this site to flesh out the story–are now seeking to reestablish their grasp and perhaps break new elements of it themselves. Major newspapers, such as the New York Times, may also run Sunday pieces detailing all of the information that has come to light on the Internet to date. Reporters are trying to flush out how the conservative escort/reporter got such access to the president and Adblock possibly to classified state secrets. The tenor of calls, it appears, has reached a fevered pitch. Mainstream journalists are scrambling to be the first to hammer down a solid connection between President Bush’s White House and the conservative reporter with a dubious history who was given daily access to White House briefings and invited to the White House Christmas party. Media sources are reluctant to say which publications and networks will break into the game; many of the networks and national newspapers have been exploring leads but thus far none have confirmed a release date. For now, they say, it’s wait and see. rawstory.com
