Great Clarence Page op ed

Snippet:

If America's mainstream media really were as liberal as conservatives claim we are, we would be ballyhooing the fiasco of James D. Guckert, a.k.a. Jeff Gannon, with Page 1 banner headlines and hourly bulletins.

Imagine how the conservative choir would sing out if a Democratic White House knocked long-tenured journalists off its press room access lists so that it could give access to a fellow like Mr. Guckert, who dependably asks softball questions because he reports for a partisan Web site that supports the Bush administration.

Imagine how they would question the access given by the Secret Service and the White House press office for two years to a guy who used a driver's license that said James Guckert to get into the White House, then switched to his alter ego of Jeff Gannon.
