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.

Controlling the boarders is also a joke..

GWB isn't controlling the boarders? Are you saying the Bushes are renting out the Lincoln bedroom, too?!

LOL

Thanks for that snippet from Salon. So, he WAS being threatened.

And here is another interesting thing...since he has resigned, why are there newbies here doing their best to spread all kinds of rumors about him? Seems like they want to destroy the person, not simply get him out of the White House press briefings.

If David Brock is doing this, which he is, you can bet it's to benefit Hillary.

Whoever is doing this to Jeff is doing a full frontal assault:

I am willing to organize a Smear Team.

Time to adapt the tactics of the left.

Give you internal organs and sentience and you just MIGHT come out on par with a garden slug.
Though you'd still be hard put to best a paramecium.

She’s sort of viewed as an odd but harmless pet, like a brain-damaged, declawed hamster.

You mean all this time I've had MurryMom stashed in a cage in my daughter's room?!

Sorry, I cut and pasted and then closed the site. I'm sure you can find the specific source again for the following "anti Gannon" allegations. They seem meager to me--accusing him of lobbing too easy questions:

Here's some of Jeff Gannon's quotes at White House press conferences:

"Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the US economy," Gannon said. "[Minority Leader] Harry Reid was talking about soup lines, and Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet, in the same breath, they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work -- you said you're going to reach out to these people -- how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

As it turned out, Reid had never talked about soup lines. That was a phrase attributed to him in satire by Rush Limbaugh on his radio show.

Last year, during the presidential campaign, Gannon's comments could be even more pointed. In a Feb. 10, 2004, briefing with McClellan, for example, Gannon rose to deliver the following:

"Since there have been so many questions about what the president was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard? Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam? Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam? And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war America was still fighting?"

David Brock, the former investigative journalist who made his name revealing aspects of former President Bill Clinton's extramarital affairs, said he was watching last week's press conference on television and the "soup lines" question sparked his interest because it "struck me as so extremely biased." Brock asked his media watchdog group, Media Matters for America, to look into Talon News.

Is that hamster typing on a teeny-tiny keyboard? If so, you've got her!

Please be sure to give her the generic hamster food.

A disgusting POS was nominated by his party in the last election cycle. The man became a traitor to his country and smeared his comrades in arms before the whole world. Honorable men warned America just in time to stop him.

What goes around comes around, doesn't it?

WTF?

I thought I was the only one who didn't get it. Maybe it's a Cool Hand Luke reference.

Wait, that was 50 eggs....nevermind.

Except in the eyes of a liar and a troll.

Who has skittered off once again, as she always does.

MM's a hit and run poster, she spreads her poison, then runs back to the rathole at DUh or wherever she lives. It's her usual pattern.

Actually, I kind of like it when MM posts. The more she posts the more upset she really is by the conservative agenda and our winning team. I know we had a great day (like yesterday) when she's posting.

More proof the MSM is drowning; and to deligitimize and then run off an "Internet Reporter" may help them keep thier brown noses above water for a few more hours.

Didn't Brit Hume have a similar experience?(something about his Family)

Hmmm... there is a computer in my daughter's room... I'd better check it and make sure the internet connection is still sabotaged. :-)

Please be sure to give her the generic hamster food.

No worries. The way my daughter cares for pets she'll be dead in a week.
