In the teaser for an article about "Jeff Gannon" by Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, SFGate.com says:
Scandal erupts around nude images of a White House journalist that appeared on web sites.
And it's true, the article is shallow and focuses on that. In fact, so much so that it misses the whole point of the "Jeff Gannon" affair: It's not about the nude pictures and the escort work, it's that the Whitehouse bypassed their own stated policies to put a reporter hired by a "news organization" that's owned by GOPUSA in press converences who provided a foil for passing false information and who squeezed out legitimate questions with queries that appear to have been planned as dialog.
