Whatever happened to the fake white house reporter??

there was a story some time last year about a fake white house reporter who turned out to be a male escort (i think a gay male escort). the story died out pretty quick though.

i was thinking about it this morning but i'm not sure if i'm making this up or if i actually read it somewhere lol. if it is a true story...how/why was there a fake reporter?? who was on the downlow from bushco?? :popcorn:

Heeeeeeeere's WIKI--


James Dale Guckert (born 1957) posed as a conservative columnist who worked under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon as a White House reporter between 2003 and 2005, representing the news organization Talon News. Gannon first gained national attention during a presidential press conference on January 26, 2005, when he asked United States President George W. Bush a question that some in the press corps considered "so friendly it might have been planted."<1> Gannon routinely obtained daily passes to White House briefings, attending four Bush press conferences and appearing regularly at White House press briefings. Although he did not qualify for a Congressional press pass, Gannon was given daily passes to White House press briefings "after supplying his real name, date of birth and Social Security number."<2> Gannon came under public scrutiny for his lack of a journalistic background prior to his work with Talon<3><4> and his involvement with various homosexual escort service websites using the professional name "Bulldog". Gannon resigned from Talon News on February 8, 2005. Continuing to use the name Gannon, he has since created his own official homepage and worked for a time as a columnist for the Washington Blade newspaper, where he confirmed he was gay after he was outed as a homosexual prostitute.<5>

Currently, Gannon operates JeffGannon.com, a blog where he criticizes those who exposed him, the "Old Media" and the "Angry Gay Left", accusing them of promoting a double standard.<6> He recently published a book titled The Great Media War.

You're delving into matters that "they" don't want people to know about... ;)
