Via paperwight, This Is Rumor Control asks a question I’m embarrassed to admit hadn’t occurred to me: How is it that “Jeff Gannon” was exposed by a bunch of lefty bloggers working in their spare time, and not by the highly paid expert journalists who sat next to him each and every day for months?

Note:Many old comments were lost in a database crash in 2008. Some conversations may seem to make less sense than they would have. A few will make more sense now.

   The Niagara Falls Reporter seems to be claiming at least some of the credit for exposing the whole thing…
