• · · · · · The Jeff Gannon saga took an ugly turn. Gannon, you may recall, was the White House reporter of questionable bona fides—apparently a Republican operative whose main role was to ask friendly questions of the president and his spokespeople, a countervailing force to what the Bush administration plainly believes is an overwhelmingly liberal White House press corps. ’Reporter’ Gannon is Gone ; When Media Dragon domain expires and changes hands, Google can now more easily find, scan and index the new site ; Kottke noticed that Google switched their Dictionary.com link to an Answers.com linkHow does he always noticed things like this before anyone else?; Cherry-picking by David Forrest Google is going to a $1 trillion market cap (Disclaimer: Media Dragon is a major investor in Google ;-)
