I’m pumping adrenaline to make deadlines this week, but I wanted to respond on record about Drudge’s seemingly hypocritical silence over the Gannon/Guckert imbroglio before it officially became old news.

You may notice from earlier posts that Matt had other squirrels loose in his boxers over the past two weeks. He’s big on those privacy issues, and of course the Paris Hilton hacking is good copy and he got one of the “victims” for an on-air interview.

Were it a slower news day when the Gannon story broke, I think he would have covered it a little more both on-air and online and followed up on his initial posting as things developed. But an underlying “theme” in three unrelated news stories was undoubtedly too good for him to pass up last Sunday.

Matt did mention Gannon for the second time last night and confirmed what I’d thought before: he just doesn’t consider it that monumental in the grand scheme of things. As he put it, “now the whores are in the press room instead of the Oval Office.”
