Back in the Game?
Thanks to Bill at INDC Journal, I just found out that the White House Press Corps will not change credentialing as a result of "Gannongate."
In other words, all Jeff Gannon needs to get back into the White House Press Corps is an news service for his employer. I'd love to see Talon News make a resurgence and be responsible for placing Gannon back in the Press Corps, primarily for the delightful howling from the left side of the blogosphere, but I doubt that will come to pass.
What we need is a visionary media mogul who would be willing to take a chance on Mr. Gannon, and who has a history of brilliant media decisions. Rupert Murdoch, are you listening?
Apart from visionaries, we could also consider the truly desperate. Hey, it isn't like this show has anything to lose by getting a new host, and Gannon is already being credited with half the ratings. It doesn't seem Gannon could do any worse.
