November 26, 2007 ***MEDIA ADVISORY*** Book Talk at Columbia University, Dec. 5

I'll be at Columbia University on December 5 at 7:00PM talking about my book, "The Great Media War: A Battlefield Report". My presentation is part of the "Friendly Fire Free Speech Series" sponsored by the Columbia Political Union. There will be a one-on-one discussion about my book, followed by a Q & A with the audience as well as a book signing at the conclusion of the program.


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: columbia; freespeech; jeffgannon
Libs are going to be all up in arms over that! They'll probably spike his book sales just buying it to burn it. Columbia University doesn't know the meaning of Free Speech!

Isn’t he the faux Conservative Sodomite who sneaked into White House press conferences posing as a journalist?

Columbia can have him.

Well it’s about time Columbia had a decent speaker. The leftoids are gonna be in a tizzy and mock him when he speaks, but they welcome Ahmadinejad.

...oh wait, I read the title of his book and assumed he was a decent speaker. After reading the comments—never mind. Ignore my last post.

It appears the mocking from the right has already begun too.

The Sodomite had never published an article when he first sneaked into a WH Press Conference in 2003 my pathetic little FRiend.

Talon News wasn't established till 2004.

Not true.

Articles written by him used to be posted here all the time.

As I wrote before. Do your homework!

Yeah I noticed—I didn’t know who he was, and after reading the first comment I assumed he was a good guy, but after reading the next two I saw I was mistaken, which is why I said “ignore my last post.”

What’s with all the hate. I don’t like what the guy did but as long as he still calls Murtha out at a press conference, slams the lib press, and calls Helen Thomas what she is I got no problem. We all got people we have to deal with we don’t agree with. My sister-in-law married a guy from the green party. Man I hate that guy. My point is Columbia U. is not a free speech zone for the right. I’m glad anytime somebody can get up there and tell it like it should be. That school should carry a DNC logo.

He had WH press credentials. I read quite a few articles he had written prior to this. They were well written and I had/have no quarrel with his thoroughness or writing style.

It was you that made the supposition that he was a fake journalist. He was not.

Put up or shut up.

Most of the White House press corps are whores. This guy just got paid for it.

Rich that is a good line! For me it has always been the fight and not the fighter.

He’s a FReeper (can’t recall screen name) who often posts his commentaries here. But yes, that’s the guy.

Thanks for the ping, JAN. This is good news and bad news, I think.

Good news that he is invited to speak at Columbia. Bad news that he is a conservative invited to speak at Columbia; a university filled with young adult spoiled brats who behave like 3 year old spoiled brats on a temper tantrum.

Good luck to Jeff. I have an autographed copy of his book that I look forward to reading in the coming weeks.

Everybody has a past. Some people have a past which is not too pretty, and of which they are not proud. Some people sought the forgiveness of their Creator and changed their past behaviors and lifestyles. Jesus Christ forgave Mary Magdalene. Don't you think He is still capable of forgiving those of us who have also sinned in our lives?

Not asking for a reply, really. Just offering a thought to ponder.

Thanks.

Homosexuals can change their lifestyles and I would be more than happy to help them find the way.

It’s the unrepentant that I have condemnation for and as far as I know Jeff Gannon hasn’t found that salvation.

Talon News wasn't established till 2004.

Talon News was established in April of 2003, at around the time of the start of the Iraq War.

You can use the Wayback machine and see that the earliest Talon News article with his byline is dated April 14, 2003.

You are correct, I read it was 2004. Regardless the time line was before he had ever written an article and used his highschool newspaper to get his press pass. Gannon said he began covering the White House in February 2003, at least a month before Talon News was created.

Try this interview.

And this interview.

I'll let you know what he says about his repentance and salvation in his book after I read it.
