#1 Guckert had been denied a congressional pass last year after the standing committee determined that Talon News was not a legitimate news organization.

If you want my opinion, this is the real scandal. There's a Congressional Star Chamber deciding who are "real journalists" and who aren't.

Now, who thinks anyone could get credentials by citing an arrangement with Rantburg? Any of us? Almost certainly not, right?

I know that the "A" section of the Cincinnati Enquirer, excepting the front page and the editorial page, is almost entirely made up of wire service stories.

Same with Rantburg -- wire service stories, occasionally an original report. Lots of editorial content.

This whole story has NOTHING to do with "journalistic standards" and EVERYTHING to do with restricting competition.
