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.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well, why bother with the facts. :-)

Yes, it's so tiresome. ;-)

You are not out of step with everyone, just those who think any level of chicanery is ok as long as it's a self-described Conservative doing it. I think this stinks and was bone-headed. The guy lied and got caught. Some here want to believe that that makes him a hero or, as one poster said, a victim. I think it just makes him a liar who got caught.

[Howlin]

You're not out of step to ask questions.

[wtc911]

Who says his family has been threatened? People who are friends with him. Actually he said it in an interview but I'm not going through almost 900 posts to find it. Was the interview with Larry Elders?

Then what is the law doing about it? Anyone can say anything, excuse me if I chose not to believe a known liar.

Until "Gannon," or Guckert, or whatever his name is, decides to clear this up, I have to agree with you.

[DJ MacWoW]

excuse me if I chose not to believe a known liar.

Let's clear up some stuff before continuing. What'd he lie about? We need a common understanding of this before discussing it.

And did you read dirtboys expose?

Hmmm. Debate on facts or post insults. Decisions, decisions.

Look. I don't want to get into a mud slinger. dirtboys investigation was a good one. Please read it and see what you think of it, ok?

[MamaLucci]

Psssst.........pal..........just a friendly word of advice: Best not to mess
with "the girls" when they are sleep deprived. Howlin, I have been jumping
around on these Gannon threads, trying to get caught up...............
good God, woman, do you EVER sleep?! ;)

[Howlin]

Lord yes. I got six full hours last night!

[DJ MacWoW]

I got six full hours last night!

You beat me by an hour. I'm trying SO hard to be civil. But I'm not sure why.

Snide remarks are ok though? Interesting standards. As for dirtboy's essay, it neither proves nor disproves anything.

Concealing one's true identity is lying. Introducing and representing yourself as Tom Jones when your name is Jimmy Valente is a lie. You chose to believe a liar, I don't.

[DJ MacWoW]

Snide remarks are ok though?

And your remark wasn't snide?

As for dirtboy's essay, it neither proves nor disproves anything.

Guess our discussion is over. It's okay to agree to disagree.

[Darksheare]

Having read the current exchange, you may want to lay off.

"Concealing one's true identity is lying. Introducing and representing yourself as Tom Jones when your name is Jimmy Valente is a lie. You chose to believe a liar, I don't.

You have misrepresented your true identity, so, you must be a liar as well. Did your parents name you wtc911? Perhaps you should request a name change to your real name. Most posters on any internet forum, famous authors, movie stars and journalists have been changing their names. You are grabbing at straws.

[wtc911]

Nonsense, name any WH Press Corps member who is operating under an alias, which is not the same as legally changing one's name ala John Wayne.

And, this forum is designed for anonymity, the WH Press Corps is not, but I'm sure you already knew that.

[Darksheare]

Welcome to FR.

[DJ MacWoW]

He used an alias and received access to the white house after 9-11

Haven't read the whole thread, have you.

GOP plant? looks like it.

Source? Where are your facts?

and a Liar too

Name the lies and give a source. This isn't DU.

[Indy Pendance]

All his writings were published under his pen name, and I could care less if any of them are writing under pen names. Or are you really bothered by the fact that he asked the question about the liberal bias in reporting? The liberal media wet their pants over that question which was on the minds of conservatives for decades. It had finally been asked by a *gasp* infiltrator, and now the liberals are raking him over the coals, looking for the last time he went to the bathroom and didn't wash his hands. Of course, the *Holy Order Of Bush Bashing White House Reporters* can't have that, and you are defending them.
