More Talon/GOPUSA digging.

Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 11:04 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli

The link below shows an old cached page from an older version of the Talon website from about a year ago. They list the rest of the Talon "team" including Eberle, Gannon and others. None have journalistic training. One was even a high school student at Boston Latin at the time.

These names might be worthy of doing some searches and looking into.

Of note, even a day ago, pictures of these people were on this cache page, now they're gone.

1. most of the cache devices...

...do text, no images, so in the cached pages, the IMG SRC refers to the original hosted image. Now that "Talon News" is in "top on bottom" review CYA mode, the images have been pulled.

2. Can you explain to me, in a slightly more "concrete" way, how to get the

images back up?

I'm a "concrete" thinker, meaning my brain functions about as quickly as concrete hardening.

4. Steven Dewey is still associated with GOPUSA

Judging by the errors and dated information, the site was last updated over 1 year ago.

As a relatively young Republican, Stephen likes to consider himself among the next wave of conservative politicians and political activists. His hope is that his generation of conservatives will be at least as intelligently minded as those of years past, with the hope of providing America with a brighter future. Although some would call him a fish out of water in the liberal city of Boston, Stephen feels that his area has better things coming, and will do his best to aid their development. And, of course, you can read about all developments in the Massachusetts section of GOPUSA.

If you see Steven be kind to him. Remember, it took him 6 years to graduate from high school.

5. jimmy moore...

granny examines talon correspondent Jimmy Moore for clues to who is working who.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/21/195245/363

Who is Jimmy Moore? According to Media Matters, who saved this bio of Moore before it was scrubbed off of GOPUSA.com's website:
<snip

Is it a stretch to think after reading these "articles" (and many more not covered in this diary) by Jimmy Moore, that it may be conceivable that the GOP was using Talon News to both convey verbatim their presidential election press releases, while assisting in a "whisper campaign" against John Kerry? Is it possible that, when evaluating whether Jeff Gannon was a White House "plant", the work of his colleague at Talon News may be relevant?

I think there's enough here to warrant further scrutiny. To quote Bill O'Reilly, "what say you?"
