You Know Him, You Love Him, You Can't Live Without Him

Mickey Kaus writes that The Pack Is Back!

This is becoming a moving story of the resilience of the human spirit! Huntington, New York’s Greg Packer, uncovered by Ann Coulter as “apparently the entire media’s designated man on the street for all stories ever written,” gets banned from the Associated Press in 2003. Hard times ensue. Packer is reduced to representing randomly chosen Americans in publications like the Norwood News. But–you know how this ends. A lone determined individual versus giant faceless, repressive media bureaucracy. They picked on the wrong Everyman! Greg Packer will not be not quoted. Especially by the Associated Press. Patterico has the whole emotional saga. … Update: Packer mourns Brooke Astor for us all. The man cannot be stopped.

You can’t stop Greg Packer, you can only hope to contain him.

(Fortunately, big media employs armies of editors and fact checkers to prevent such grandstanding from occurring…)
