Thank you for this recap. I've been following this story most of the day, but learned some new things from your thread. Including the fact that David Brock sent a letter to McClellen on Jan 31, asking him to revoke Jeff Gannon's credentials.

This is a coordinated attack, that the leftist's have been cookin' for a while.

I just went to Talon News and looked at the articles they have on their site...

Those are real news articles. Kurtz and Co. seem to be claiming that it's not a real news site.

But if you cross check their articles with those from other news outlets.....
You can see that they are real news events...and they are reported as happened.

I think folks like the NY Times and WaPo and MSNBC are trying to paint them as a bogus site so they don't have anybody out there to put out both side of the story.

This whole thing smells like a setup.

How was the LIEberal media investigating another reporter for being "White House Friendly" so quickly after "Jeff Gannon's" (who resigned from Talon News- see statement at bottom) false quote of Senate Democrat Harry Reid ?????!!!!

"Jeff Gannon" owned HotMilitaryStud.com, MilitaryEscorts.com and other such sites.

There's more to this story but I think he's a LIEberal who infiltrated and was bait which some at Talon News apparently took.

- Statement concerning former Washington, DC correspondent Jeff Gannon Talon News

Washington, DC reporter and White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon submitted his resignation from our organization effective February 8, 2005.

I understand and support Jeff's decision, and have accepted the resignation.

We are currently evaluating candidates to fill this critical assignment, and anticipate minimal interruption of Talon's coverage of our nation's capitol and the White House in the meantime.

So a guy like Ward Churchill can keep on spreading his hate and lies. And Nazi's can sponsor a highway in Salem OR. Because that's what free speech is all about.

But Jeff Gannon must be silenced.

Because that's the American Way. Free speech for the haters of freedom and a muzzle for the rest of us.

Sounds like this is how the dems will give their bi-partisan support to Bush's Social Security initiative.

A few hours later, Howard Kurtz, writing in The Washington Post, confirmed earlier tips, arising from liberal blogs, that the reporter's real name is indeed James D. Guckert.

Thanks, backhoe.

Loved the "Yer Obedient Servant" post to Cincinatus' Wife on the other thread, linking to this one.

This whole story makes me sick. I think that it is just a brief introduction of what we can expect from a Dr. Dean DNC, a renewed policy of the politics of personal destruction, headed by KOS instead of Larry Flynnt. The only good thing about this is that the last election proved that you don't win votes with hate and negativity. You might win some minds, but you don't win hearts.

I chat in a politcal room in sfwest.com and the leftwingers brought up the case and were salivating about it. I doubt though that most of them have ever heard of Jeff Cannon or even Talon News. Well as long as it is something against the president and the administration, who cares.
