The controversy over “fake” news reporter Jeff Gannon continues to blow up today, as Salon, the New York Daily News, CNN, and the Boston Globe pick up the story.
Spokespeople for Harry Reid and former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle have put their $.02 in as well. Reid’s spokesman accuses Gannon of mischaracterizing quotes by the Senate Minority Leader and Daschle’s aides say that Gannon was in cahoots with John Thune, who defeated Daschle in the recent election. “He and Thune’s campaign worked hand in hand,” said one former Daschle aide. “This guy became a dumping ground for opposition research.”
