Not only was this whole drudge/kofman conundrum mentioned by two of the blogs I read, it was mentioned by two of the most different blogs I read..
tony and
kate, so it must be
news!
In short, it's a bunch of whining about :
a) a soldier who (gasp) said Rumsfeld should resign.
b) a reporter, jeffrey kofman, who reported said soldier's remark
c) a purported administration leak to a cybertard, matt drudge, who reported that kofman was not only gay, but Canadian as well.
I, for one, find it hard to classify this as news, quite frankly.
For one, a soldier - especially an American one - has a right to his or her own opinion. No biggy there, right? No news. Everyone knew that. Right?..
Secondly, does a journalist's citizenship or gayness come in to play if that journalist reports a remark made by a soldier? What if the journalist were Russian? Czech? American?... what if the soldier had reported his quote to a tape recorder, which was sent to a news room? What if, and here is the big one, what if that tape recorder was gay?
Thirdly, who cares?
