Openly gay journalist Jeffrey Kofman has apparently become the target of a smear campaign after he broadcast a report for ABC News about the plummeting morale among U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq. Internet gossip Matt Drudge told The Washington Post last week that he had received a phone call from the White House communications department tipping him to the fact that Kofman is not only Canadian but also gay. The White House has since denied making the call. Under the headline "ABC News Reporter Who Filed Troop Complaint Story Is Canadian," the Drudge Report Web site provided a link to a profile of Kofman that had run in The Advocate.
