Pravda and Jeff Gannon

Up to this point I have not commented on the Jeff Gannon story because others, most notably AMERICAblog, have been doing a really great job. But this is really important so some thoughts and questions.

The number one question, which although perhaps not the most important is related to the rest. At a time when Democrats can't even get into one of Bush's "townhall discussions", how did a gay prostitute using an assumed name consistently get within a few feet of the President of the United States?

The second question is although the White House Press Corps had to know Gannon was a shill, why didn't they say something and why aren't they saying anything now?(Paul Craig Roberts has the answer to this question below)

The reaction of the MSM has for the most part to simply ignore the real questions and attack the bloggers who were doing what they should have been doing, asking the right questions and reporting the truth.
