It seems as this story is finally getting some national attention instead of just the rants from bloggers across the United States.  Here is an article that not only mentions the absurdity of “Jeff Gannon’s” access to the White House but also mentions a prime news source that many young people who are interested in the democratic process watch: The Daily Show.  Also, not to ignore the other prime news source, Keith Olbermann, who was instrumental in bringing the meat of this story to a national level once it was unearthed by those crazy liberal bloggers who seem to be able to report news with more conviction and truth than most mainstream media outlets.  Following is an excerpt from the NY Times:

If we did not live in a time when the news culture itself is divorced from reality, the story might end there: “Jeff,” you’d assume, was a lapdog reporter from a legitimate, if right-wing, news organization like Fox, and you’d get some predictable yuks from watching a compressed video anthology of his kissing up to power. But as Mr. Olbermann explained, “Jeff Gannon,” the star of the montage, was a newsman no more real than a “Senior White House Correspondent” like Stephen Colbert on “The Daily Show” and he worked for a news organization no more real than The Onion. Yet the video broadcast by Mr. Olbermann was not fake. “Jeff” was in the real White House, and he did have those exchanges with the real Mr. McClellan and the real Mr. Bush.
