Jeff Gannon

A Voice of the New Media

The voice goes silent.

Because of the attention being paid to me I find it is no longer possible to effectively be a reporter for Talon News. In consideration of the welfare of me and my family I have decided to return to private life.

Thank you to all those who supported me.

[MurryMom]

What goes around comes around, doesn't it?

[Miss Marple]

Yes, MurryMom, it does.

And you should be very worried.

[G.Mason]

Care to tell those of us who don't know, like me, what this is all about?

I don't understand your comment. However, I'm sorry Mr. Gannon is "leaving". Anyone besides me recall the "anal probe" by MSM into "Buckhead"? How *dare* Buckhead question ANYTHING. And in Mr. Gannon's case? The Good Ole Boys in the MSM don't like anyone presuming to challenge them on "their" turf. The question as I see it, and from all parties involved (MSM, Bush Admin)? "Do "credentials" matter?

Judging by her recent posts, MurryMom seems to be a moonbat and a troll (which explains the title she chose for her thread). One has to wonder how she's lasted on FR for so long. I'm sure that, in her yearning for objective news, she's also hoping for an investigation into Terry Moran as a favorite newspimp of the Bush-hating MSM. </sarcasm>

So who is Jeff Gannon?

[pookie18]

I am deeply saddened...really :-(

[Bahbah]

And you should be very worried.

LOL.

[JennysCool]

I have decided to return to private life.

Sounds like he thinks he's a star or a politician. And that's the whole problem with journalists today.

[AmishDude]

He couldn't have been writing very much, being quarterback for the Oakland Raiders and all...

[Bahbah]

Jeff Gannon is the guy who asked one of the more interesting, non-Bush bashing questions at a recent press conference, i.e. with all of your opponents so divorced from reality, how are you possibly going to work with them? It was great.

Murrymom is the resident troll of FR. You can always count on her to parrot the DUmmie moonbat talking points. I think she's kept around because after all these years, she comes back for more and more rhetorical humiliation and it is quite humorous seeing her politcal insanity in action.

Jeff Gannon (also a freeper) ran an independent news service. He got White House credentials, and was targeted by the Boston Globe in a hit piece because he isn't a "real," that is to say, "anti-administration" journalist.

Apparently harassment continued, and he has decided to call it quits, which is a shame.

MurryMom is a leftist freeper who somehow has escaped Zotdom, and I really don't understand why. She appears periodically to chortle at any bad news for Republicans and conservatives. She is unfailingly mean-spirited, which is why I directed my "be worried" comment to her.

[Peach]

Oh, I'm so disappointed. He asked the BEST questions at the White House press briefings. He was just terrific.

[js1138]

Hi. Whatever happened to the DOW hitting 6000, like you predicted?

[AQGeiger]

It looks like someone's meds have run out.

[nothingnew]

MM has been here since 1998 and is a real hoot. I, for one, would miss her posts if she left. Always fun for me to read her stuff.

She's not a troll, in the true sense. Always polite...but a hoot just the same.

That statement indicates to me that there was continuing harassment, and perhaps threats to his physical safety or to that of his family.

I hate seeing this happen, too, but I don't expect someone to risk his family. We know that some of the left is quite dangerous.

[Miss Marple]

Your definition of "polite" and mine are worlds apart.
