Let's let the LA TIMES have it; CRAPPY COVERAGE of "Gannon"
Edited on Sun Mar-06-05 07:35 PM by autorank
CM(Corporate Media) has a new back door to covering real f'ing stories. The LA Times has an editorial column called "Outside the Tent," meaning outside their normal coverage. They let Aravosis write an article complaining about their non coverage of "Gannon". Good Lard they are clever...don't cover the story and they when it gets obvious, cover it through a back door complaint by the people that broke the story. LET THEM HAVE IT

Aravosis wrote this editorial in the LAT (link provided)
OUTSIDE THE TENT
Sex, Lies and Spies: This Isn't News?
By John Aravosis, John Aravosis is a writer and political consultant and the editor of AMERICAblog.com

Here is my letter to the LA Times Reader Representative. I have a link provided for any of the funnsters who want to slap them around:

I was pleased that you ran the following editorial: OUTSIDE THE TENT
Sex, Lies and Spies: This Isn't News? by John Aravosis regarding "Gannon" and Talon News. There is a wide spread opinion among Democrats that the NYT, WashPost, and LAT put their corporate and regulatory interests above coverage; and that they avoid pointing out scandals in the Bush administration to help their corporate needs. You are now known as CM (the Corporate Media) by many. Your lack of coverage of the "Gannon" affair is stunning. You are losing a huge segment of your market. You foster this impression by continuing to ignore "Gannon" after months and months of covering Lewinsky, a scandal that had no national security implications. What is your problem? What are you afraid of?

Address: LA Times Readers Representative

1. Autorank, possibly this could be why LATimes coverage is bad...

could Novak himself have been a part of the NOC non-official-cover cabal of reporters on the payroll ? If so, it explains a lot about why HE hasn't faced much coverage on this issue...

2. EVDebs, my main man. Sure could. Give them some shit, nonetheless!
I saw this earlier and I'm looking forward to updates. You blew my mind...Novak screws the CIA while working for them; or Novak is guilty of screwing the CIA because he used to work for them and knows exactly what Plames status would have been. GREAT STUFF!

3. Am catching a 9X volume post to Gannon/Guckert VERY long
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 09:48 AM by EVDebs
here on the DU. Hope to continue following along. Something about Gannon/Guckert/Gosch gannon=gosch . It's very weird, but MSM is really dropping the ball on this. It could just be disinfo, detour, or the real deal; staying in for this one to flesh itself out.

4. This is way, way through the lookingn glass but the badk up sources
look interesting. I have to avoid this crap. It's like quick sand but if you're looking, it may be of use.
