Follow the Money

Memo to the MSM:

"Follow the Money" was the term used in a White House Scandal thirty years ago. It came from a source named "Deep Throat" (not related to the porn movie, although this current Gannon/Guckert scandal has elements of that, too.) "Deep Throat" helped two young, inquisitive, enterprising reporters break open the story. They followed the money. They became very famous. Wrote books and movies. I mean, really famous. You may have heard of Watergate....it really was a big scandal. Actually, the reason some in your ranks call this Gannongate comes from that...get it?

The bloggers, who many of you in the MSM disdain, have done a lot of leg work for you in this story. Now, it's time for someone to Follow the Money in the Gannon/Guckert affair.

Clearly, someone was paying Jeff Gannon to be in the White House. Who? (And for this one, don't settle for an answer from Jeff....he hasn't been really completely accurate for some of your colleagues.)

Who funded GOPUSA/Talon News?

Did Jeff/Jim get paid by any campaigns or campaign committees? Lots of work was done for John Thune who was, in fact, paying bloggers.

Jeff, as a patriotic, god-fearing, country-loving, conservative American, MUST have been paying taxes. Wouldn't it be something to see his tax forms for the last few years?

GOPUSA is based in Texas. Its leader was a delegate for Bush to the GOP convention in 2000. How did GOPUSA get off the ground? Who funds that organization?

These are just a couple ideas. See, the point here, in case it's not clear, is that there is a lot of this story still untold. But, if you FOLLOW THE MONEY, it may just lead to some answers.
