This Jeff Gannon story is amazing. The dude starts a website and five days later is given a White House pass (possibly permanent) to join the press pool. Whereupon he uses the position to make long conservative rants and throw softballs to the President and the press secretary.
Now he is gone. But these, what, four or five recent stories of media manipulation by the White House definitely show a pattern of disregard for the sanctity of the fourth estate. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though since this administration is also blurring the lines between church and state in the same manner.
