Why is SLATE silent on Gannon?
I can understand Drudge (who is now totally irrelevant) but Slate is usually a bit hipper than it is.

I have e-mailed them numerous times. Anyone else?

1. Because Drudge is an over ripe banana, no better than Jeff/James

3. I think ALL media is silent on this because...
It is not their story. The "Internet" has uncovered this story, exposed it and will continue to be the only source for this story. Sadly, in acknowledging this story is even out there, gives power to the blogs and that power will be the eventual downfall of the "MSM."

However, notice when the story is against the Democrats, the MSM picks up on it? I think the republicans have conditioned the general public at large to think of the "Internet" as a liberal wasteland.

Just my 2 cents.
