ok, suppose the post you made earlier is correct, that Gannon was linked w/ gay porn websites in the past. From what I've been reading, he is a Christian and has repented of his past.
How long do we hold this against him? I'd like a definitive answer from you.
Does someone have to be absolutely pristine - pure as the driven snow - from time immemorial, to ask a question in the WH press corpse room?
Don't worry about it. It was explained in a CNN interview tonight,
BLITZER: Because one of the things, as you know, that were said is that you had some sexually explicit Web sites that you were working on. I don't understand what that is, but maybe you could explain that.
GANNON: Well, several years ago, before I came to Washington, I had registered various domain names for a private client. I was doing Web site development. Those sites were never hosted. There's -- nothing ever went up on them. And the client went on to do something else.
There's been so much about me on the Internet that people have, you know, made assumptions about. And I just can't -- I don't even know them all and I can't address them all here.
How about this:
I posted that ONLY as an addition to the information out there.
I'm not vouching for anything.
Does that suit you?
But just so you'll know:
Brit Hune and his panel talked about the issue this evening.
It seems that the folks at dailykos, the others, and Howard Kurtz may have jumped the gun...and misrepresented a huge portion of this story. And in a sense, slandered a man.
It seems that Gannon, or whatever his name may be, did not run any porn sited.
One of the panel members stated that they are finding out, now, that Gannon once worked for a software company and registered the domain names for somebody else.
THEY also pointed out that this seems to be, in large part, liberals going after a conservative reporter.
FURTHERMORE- the pointed out how people like Helen Thomas who is a columnist, not a reporter....and people like The New Republic can get press passes.
It will be interesting to see if Howard Kurtz will correct some of his misreporting of this stuff. Same with Olberman.
STILL WAITING FOR KURTZ TO DISCLOSE THAT A MAJOR SOURCE FOR HIS STORY WAS ON THE HOWARD DEAN PAYROLL.
