Nothing new here
This proganda/plant issue is nothing new. Although the Bush admin, is going a bit far, this type of thing has been going on for eons. It's alarming to some degree especially when you think of the CIA's infiltration into many news organiztions in the 50's and 60's. If you listen to the Nixon tapes, not just the popular Watergate related ones, you see many examples of planted stories and journalists, like Bob Novak, who were "friendly" to the adminstration. The whole sex aspect could be due to some sort of blackmail, Gannon, could be more than just a paid journalist.
