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.
there is a major miscommunication...
before rush went on vacation on his normal radio show he commented on the soup line, harry reid , jeff gannon thing... essentially corroborating everything in the print media... which is basically accepted and linked on the thread..
there's nothing more to it than that..
I suspect when he comes back you'll hear more about it on his show now that JG has quit..
bye gotta go..
The idiots are going on about the memo Jeff Gannon had asked Joe Wilson about (and Wilson denied existed) and the DK denizens are wondering what memo Gannon could be referring to and if it even exists.
Because I am a kindhearted soul who only wants to help and on the off chance someone from over there is lurking over here, here is a link to an article about the memo:
Plame's Input Is Cited on Niger Mission Report Disputes Wilson's Claims on Trip, Wife's Role
I suggest they ponder why Wilson denied the memo existed. I suggest they ask themselves why they didn't even know the memo was revealed in the 9/11 Commission report.
I will further point out to any DK lurkers that the "leaking" of Plame's "name" was not "retaliation", it was by way of explanation of why her husband went to Niger. The Fitzgerald investigation most likely is looking into why the CIA and reporters misrepresented information. Plame and Wilson did not do good. They did wrong. Lying is wrong. And since the working theory you all have over there is the CIA was trying to expose lies about WMD, I further suggest you look for Wilson's statements prior to June 2003 where he stated that Saddam did indeed possess WMD.
Sorry for the tangent, but I wanted to set them straight (not that I'm under the illusion it will "take")
It's a big deal to me if he is a commentator as well. Your opinion may vary.
But WHERE IS THIS AUDIO?
Your guess is as good as mine!
I'm not buying the young thing.
I believe that the liberals have set up "think tanks" just for this purpose; to come here and "move" the discussion.
I think you and I correct.
I'm just surprised that the Internet has created such a threat to the status quo and is drawing this much attention.
Oh well....you play with what you are dealt.
"One more...into the breach!"
I think he's a honest fool, and I don't get fooled very often.
I also recall a few incidents in FR's past where we wanted to shoot the messenger who brought us bad news, such as DITHF. I will wait to see how Gannon's story plays out and what else we find out. I have seen enough to think there could be some THERE there, but am keeping an open mind either way.
I am so thoroughly disgusted by this. Jeff is a good guy. I am just devastated that he isn't going to be there anymore. It is just wrong.
I find it instructive that Willie Green believes everything bad about Gannon, without any sort of fact-checking whatsoever, and won't believe a thing the President says.

You're a dude aren't you?
Oh I agree with that.
I'm not sure about Jeff Gannon....
but of RTFP, I have little doubt.
I'll say it one more time - I think everyone should chill and wait to see how this story plays out. We have a lot of smoke and very little light right now.
Do we really need trolls like MurryMan sticking around here?
Only until Saturday night...
LOL!
I am interested in why the personal smears were used, why it seems to be coordinated, and if there is a larger plan to target conservative journalists. It may be that they were sucessful with Jeff Gannon because he didn't have a large corporation behind him.
If you wish to think that these trolls are simply confused young people, go right ahead. I am not so trusting.
You can't defend a man who won't stand-up for himself and present his own "facts".
and won't believe a thing the President says.
Hey, you gotta give Dubya SOME credit...
He and Karl Rove have worked very hard to shoot themselves in the foot.
I believe them MUCH LESS now than I did back in Y2K.
