No, I have no thoughts on that. I have no idea when Talon News started. I do think Gannon starting attending in the spring of 2003 and I'm confident he met whatever standards other entities who got the same type of pass meet.
Yours is the voice of common sense
The press/Left is morally bankrupt.
The lie bothers every freeper. That you insinuate it doesn't and agree with a poster who falsely accused me of making posts tediously defending McClellan when I am defending truth irritates me.
Thank you.
When Bush does what, exactly?...
OK, most fruitcakes believe that the picture of Oswald holding the assassination rifle 42 years ago was a "clever fake that proves the conspiracy" but you don't think that someone with a $300 PC and PhotoShop can fake a picture of someone today?
One word comes to mind... gulli-BULL
Another one crops up, given your sign up date, but I'll leave that to others.
Agreed....I in no way blame or hold the WH responsible. I have to wonder why no one at that GOP news site thought to look into who this guy was.
I remember that..ugly. here's his official title and scroll down to the "outer"

Back in 1991, I wrote a cover story for the Advocate about Pete Williams, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs in the Bush administration and Pentagon spokesman throughout the Gulf War. Williams was known to be gay by higher-ups in the Pentagon, including then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and, it appeared, President Bush. Meanwhile the Pentagon was booting gays and lesbians out of the military, claiming they were a security risk because they might have access to classified information and could be blackmailed, while the average cook, private or porter had no access to state secrets. But the truth is, Pete Williams certainly did. "..snip
A great leap in logic to equate gays in the military issue with other departments..
Well, you have been doing some serious defending, cyncooper. Lots and lots of posts on this topic. HateBill evidently considers that to be 'tedious' defending. Sorry if my agreeing with his well-stated opinions irritates you.
I did not insinuate that the lie doesn't bother other posters; I said it bothers ME. At least you agree that he lied. So now, where do we go from here? If you were the WH press secretary, how would you handle this tangled mess without appearing hypocritical or offending the hypersensitive leftist journalists?
Good get.
The majority of posts I've made have been pointing out the flaws in the lefty sites saying Gannon had access to a secret memo based on an interview he did. I have been pointing out the WSJ published an article about that very memo 10 days before Gannon did his interview.
So, no, I have not been making lots of baselessly defensive posts. I have been making fact-based posts correcting the assumptions being made by the left.
And you did insinuate it didn't bother others by talking earlier about blinders.
Yes, I read about it. Are you under some kind of impression I approve of a tax debt or what?
Why are you making weird assumptions?
He was vetted just like any other person who sought access to the briefings. He was granted a day pass, not a hard pass. He did not get a top secret clearance vetting that would have disclosed various and sundry background information such as you point to.
I have no idea what qualifications are used, but that an exception was made has not been demonstrated.
I applaud your pointing out the flaws about the supposed access to a secret memo. You are very good at using your research to correct erroneous statements. I'm just a little weary of reading the word 'Troll!' posted immediately after someone gives an opposing opinion. Both trumandogz and HateBill were essentially accused of trolling.
I always...well, at least I attempt to always...admit when I am mistaken or proven wrong. I will wait this one out awhile as more true facts come to light, and if I am wrong in my thinking I promise I'll send you a 'you were right all along' ping. I'm not doing the broken glass crawling thing, though. :o)
BigSkyFreeper,Why, is this personal to them?
No
Who are you?
