Is MSM acting like "Hookergate" was well know and much talked about?
I read on another thread that John Roberts is talking about it on CNN.

Since I am at work I was wondering if the other networks are mentioning it and if they are now acting like they have been reporting on "Hookergate" all along.

MSNBC?

FOX?

Come on someone flip the channels and let me know

1. Evidently, CNN & MSNBC have brought it up...
...their SPECULATION alone makes me think there's some truth to Hookergate and Goss's involvement.:bounce:

2. Yeah - like the Downing Street Memos were "old news" let's move on.
But a blue dress has NO EXPIRATION DATE for its relevance.

4. The free press is dead
if that is the case.

I love watching how they throw in givens and then build from there. Oh sure everyone knew about "Hookergate" didn't YOU???

Sure sure I did I knew about that.

Right so there is no need to go into details

No of course not.

---THEN they throw in a mention of Clinton---

You are right that never will expire.

5. Trent Lott
with all the talk of Colbert being THE topic on blogosphere but unmentioned in MSM and, as you point out, Hookergate (as well as the NH phone jamming) we forget about the CBS TANG memos (rightwing blogger/WH megaphone) and Lott losing his leadership position after Strom's birthday party.

Sorry for the run on sentence.
