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.

He wasn't a pseudo journalist. But you're a pseudo conservative.

Thank you both for the info.

Now I remember reading about him, and hearing about him ... on Rush ... I believe.

Too bad.

Jeff Gannon was so on target with his questions; a simple sentence, posed as a question at White House press briefings, exposed the media for what it is.

I can well imagine that they threatened him...they have to protect their franchise.

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

I wouldn't doubt that.

The leftist(democrat) stormtroopers and their agents in the press strike again.

MurryMom returns. Tough choice here. I had given up scorn and ridicule for Lent. Please check back in 30 days...

Let's think about this for a minute.

Why was MurrayMom on Jeff Gannon's site? Did she KNOW that he was going to end his reporting? How would she know this? What information had she heard that he was going to quit?

The more I think about this, I really, REALLY would like to know the answers to these questions.

I thought fer sure that Murrymom would have moved to Canada by now. I guess she couldn't clear security....

She spreads malicious lies. Just the title of this very thread should tell you something.

Do you know who Jeff Gannon is? He had a seat at White House press briefings and asked the best questions I've ever heard asked at briefings. He worked for Talon News and wrote wonderful articles. And he's a freeper.

He is certainly NOT a pseudo journalist. Except in the eyes of a liar and a troll.

The Dems probably went after Gannon's family. MurryMom gets a stiffie when families get harassed.

there were a whole bunch of internet rumors that the owner of his site was the same owner as many other sites with less than wholesome sounding names...

don't know how to check these things.. Does any computer savy person know about this??

kinda has a ring like the homeland security guy who had a bunch of issues unrelated to nannies..

I was going to put that in my previous post but didn't want to sound like a tinfoil hat person.

But after reading the book Hillary's Secret War, for which Jim Robinson wrote the foreward and FR is featured so prominently in the book, I've come to understand just how the media operates with respect to sites like FR.

So I'm going to sound paranoid but here it is: The media are represented in bigger numbers on FR than most of us would suspect. They have an agenda to disrupt the site, spread malicious lies and discourage us.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the poster we are discussing is a journalist. Not one little bit.

Yes MurryMom.

Enjoy journalism from one perspective. Let them tell you what you want to hear.

They will tell you the night before an election that your candidate will win. Just don't be surprised when he loses big time the next morning.

Let your journalists tell you that elections in Iraq will be full of violence and will fail. Just don't be surprised when they are a huge success with very little violence.

Let your journalists parade fake documents as fact in an attempt to influence an election. Just don't be so surprised when they are clearly shown to be fraudulent.

Your favorite politicians will assign their lovers to positions of importance and public safety without being qualified. Your press will cover them by dismissing it as a personal problem. Your favorite politician will obstruct justice and commit perjury and your press will dismiss it as being a personal issue. Your favorite politicians will belong to white racist groups or black racist groups or anarchist groups and your press will dismiss it as being an issue of the past.

Life is so much more convenient when you get to pretend, right MurryMom?

Me, either. I suppose we can wear matching tin-foil hats.

MurryMom survives because she disappears. She posts at most 3 times per month and then goes away.

She actually is quite amusing.

The worst part of this is, David Brock and smear team at the Globe will consider this to be a huge victory, and will be emboldened to turn this into a purge of journalists whom they don't consider to be hard-left enough. These people always overreach. I expect to see them start gunning for Fox News next.

I know this delights MurryMom to no end. If she had her way, every conservative voice in the media and every one of us would be lined up against the wall.

when your "source" turns out to be rush limbaugh's radio show where he is proud he completely made up stuff atrributed to Harry Reid and then Mr. Gannon quotes the misquote without providing a source during a whitehouse briefing I'd say you've outed yourself as a fake journalist..

I'm sorry to hear this.

It's nice to hear from someone with a fresh point of view.

I wish him loads of success in the private sector.

Or more accurately, a pseudo-journalist. :o)
