The Leftwing Media Gets Their Scalp: Jeff Gannon Resigns from Talon News

“Jeff Gannon” Revisited
My usual procedure is to attempt to answer each email message I receive, in regards to my columns and articles. However, considering the volume I’ve received (RE: “New Media Reporter Blasted and Investigated by Boston Globe”), this may a more effective venue for my responses. First, when I quote something said or asked by a reporter, during a presidential News Conference, I do not affect a “background check” of the reporter. My real consideration is that those statements and/or questions be accurately quoted. They were. Second, to those of you who seem to believe I should have had an interest in “Jeff Gannon’s” (pseudonym) personal life, before I wrote the article, I didn’t. Much the same as I still do not have an interest in the personal lives of other reporters, including those of Dave Gregory (NBC), Brit Hume (Fox) and Dan Rather (even after his forged document debacle he’s still at CBS News…can we believe it?).
For all of those who have asked whether or not I still support Gannon’s question of President Bush, the answer is “YES”. I still firmly believe that there should be at least one conservative reporter at Presidential news conferences to, at least, provide a small counterbalance to all of the other liberal reporters’ decidedly biased questions.
To those of you who wrote to me and gleefully announced that you and your colleagues had helped to affect Gannon’s departure from Talon News, I say that for a group that claiming to be in favor of “free speech” it appears that said freedom is only applicable to your point of view. In any event, in Gannon’s case, it is moot. He has resigned.
To reiterate, I fully support the question Gannon asked at the news conference and it had been too long in coming. Hopefully, if there is ever another one allowed into a presidential news conference, the next conservative reporter will be above reproach from the leftist media.

What's all this about?
Yet Churchill is still on the taxpayers roll!!
Personally, I'd be waving an assault rifle and wearing a bandana.
Freep search "jeff gannon" or google him.
Ain't no such thing as "above reproach" from the slimeballs.
This is no time for fashion statements, man, this is series stuff!
LOL!

How about naming some names Sher? If we are to stop them from pulling this stunt again, do the right thing and unmask the jackals.
