Why did Talon pull ALL of "Gannon's" writings?
Doesn't make sense.

We presume they stand behind all that he wrote.

So why remove all traces of "The Conservative Guy"?

Is it something as simple as the server being too small to handle the traffic they FINALLY got as the result of this story (their claim of having 700,000 SUBSCRIBERS is ludicrous)?

To keep people from combing over details in his articles now that he really has people's attention?

Did he use an assumed name simply to keep the IRS at bay, or perhaps because he has a serially questionable past?

1. Rove wrote most of the articles or 100 different people did.

Search for Talon News. If you do an advanced search, you can probably find his 2004 stuff

3. They forgot about the Wayback Machine
You can still find his articles from 2003

Sorry, you will have to C&P the links, they break when I
try to post them as html.


http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://talonnews.com

Here's one on Tom Daschle.  There are others.

http://web.archive.org/web/20030808182227/talonnews.com/news/2003/june/0611_argus_leader.shtml

His website (presently shut down) also has some archived
pages.

The target is Tom Daschle.  And the MSM.  His freeform stuff
on various MSM personalities and outlets is very nasty and
bitchy.  Drudgelike.

They can't hide them from there and the articles go back to 2003 if I'm not mistaken..

5. I wonder if they appear anywhere on Usenet...
of course, you'd need a news server that goes back years. Not likely, as this would likely appear in alt.news.politics.us or something of the kind...

6. That's not the point
yes there are copies and caches all over the place. The point is that if Gannon was a real reporter there would be no need to shut down websites and to try to delete all traces. I've also noticed that Talon and GOPUSA are deleting lot's more stuff than just the Gannon articles. There is a shitload of bullshit that these roaches are very busy trying to cover up right now. The question is what are they trying to hide?

7. what would be interesting is to do an analysis to see if
Gannon's articles were written by the same person.
