Talon News Gets the Hook in Wake of 'Gannongate' (E&P)

moderator, you locked my earlier post that linked to the Talon site. I am guessing that was because it was not backed up with a story from a news source. I hope this helps.

Talon News Gets the Hook in Wake of 'Gannongate'

By E&P Staff

Published: February 24, 2005 10:45 AM ET

NEW YORK First it lost "Jeff Gannon" as its White House correspondent. Then it scrubbed all of his articles from its site. Now Talon News is going dark.

The Web site, closely linked to Texas Republican activist Bobby Eberle and his GOPUSA.com, posted a message on its home page today announcing that Talon was going offline for, as it said, a "top-to-bottom" review.

James Guckert, better known by his pen name Jeff Gannon, got press credentials for two years at the White House under his alias, first under the auspices of GOPUSA, then Talon News. He has since been linked to male escorts sites and has refused to deny working as a prostitute, most recently on this morning's NBC "Today" show.

reporter in WH briefings. :eyes:

play time with m. gannon?
i bet all those conservatives would love to review that piece of ass.

Jon Steward says repubs are usually tops. Makes sense.

covert operation.

Very interesting piece today by The Decembrist asking about connections between GOPUSA and possible DeLay related organizations. Worth a read, and worth keeping in mind as we watch any hearings that develop.

http://markschmitt.typepad.com/decembrist/

and I mean that literally. Guess its time to crawl back under the rock and do some cosmetic revamping? All the same they will be back.
I hope this review is permenant. Typical of REPUG methods, where the ends justify the means - they're a bit loose where it comet to integrity.
I have so enjoyed this hypocritical scandal !
Bring em on. I suspect there are more to come.

them go away.

One has to ask, how does a media outlet who claimed having millions of subscribers, along with continuously breaking “exclusive” news stories, and a loaded staff of Journalist just fold up so fast? This must have something to do with AARP running amuck. Damn them!

"He has since been linked to male escorts sites and has refused to deny working as a prostitute, most recently on this morning's NBC "Today" show."

He'd better watch out! That's Katie's corner!
