Gannon's face on MSN Home Page this morning...
It's linked to some video(interview of Gannon).

http://www.msn.com

This story will continue to get legs if the MSM covers stories like this.

1. Getting legs yes, Gannon learning how to walk on those legs
He is running around repeating the lie often enough that its going to become truth unless people step in and hold his feet to the fire.

5. he's got a great chest...
and least in the nude shots I've linked-to from DU. Seems to me, he'll at least get lots of business as an escort / sex toy. Lots of bored wealthy men will want to plug him. His journalism phase may be over but he's whorin' days have just begun. He's not even my type...but I know how Male Johns think and Jeff is going to be a hot ticket. Even wealthy Dems will enjoy screwing a big GOP toy-boy, just for the kick of it!

2. I saw his interview last night on MSNBC
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 08:32 AM by LiberalinNC
When asked if he was "gay" or not, he shook his head yes, then said something like "On the advice of my attorneys, I can not answer that question". I also enjoyed the fact that he said he would no longer do interviews, then not 5 days later, he's doing one.

4. Campbell Brown All But Rolled Over...
And they're promoting this tripe? Here's a "babe" who sat in that press room with this guy and acts like he's from another planet...and shes'd never heard of him? I've got a few questions for Ms. Brown.

The corporate media is giving this goon not only a pass, but a regular forum to spread more lies and distortions and distract from the prime issue of what he was doing in that Press Room as opposed to who he is and his seemy private life. This dude is playing the hustle for all it's worth and Brown and her corporate owners are going along or else they are exposed for being complicit with "Gannon's" misinformation campaign.

Lots of people are working hard on the REAL story here...the money, the influence peddling, the connections between various right wing groups and ties directly to this regime and corporate media. I haven't seen any corporate or MSM stories on this angle.

If the story stays about "Gannon" this story dies with "Gannon". Just MSGOP cashing in, nothing to see/hear here...

7. Yes, but if he continue's to speak...
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 08:45 AM by Dawgs
,then it's just a matter of time before others will be interviewed who speak the truth.

Gannon is obviously enjoying the attention. Remember when he sent an email to DU stating he was working to be #1 on the the top ten list? Now he has his own website. Now he's doing interviews for anyone who will let him.

There are just too many questions that need to answered.

Why did Talon news cut and run only a month after Gannongate started? Why did Gannon quit so suddenly? Why was Gannon granted access to the WH before Talon news? Why did Gannon have certain info before anyone else?

If push comes to shove, Gannon will spill his guts. It's inevitable with people like this. They need the attention.

I know. It's the media. But, I can at least hope.

9. He's Waiting For The Big Payday
I wouldn't be surprised if this hustler already has the agent out contacting the checkbook journalists out there for the time he decides to "spill all". He (or whomever is orchestrating this) hasn't built it up big enough yet. IMHO that's why the sex angle is being played the way it is and will remain the story (and many here will fuel that fire without realizing they're being used), since it sells more for the corporate media.

What amazes me is how "Gannon" has "spilled his guts". Anyone under such scrutiny would have kept a low profile...or would have been laywered up to the point of never appearing alone on a TV forum like that. Think of all the prosecution evidence this dude spews every time he contradicts another interview he did. But to this dude, it doesn't matter since this is all a charade...his name, his "profession", his current role...the whole thing. And he's playing kabuki theater with the corporate media as willing participants.

You ask many questions I ask as well, but the corporate media is lothe to go near since it touches on their own power and influence. Many of these "journalists" fear the real Propagannon side of this story as they will be revealed as collaborators in many lies that have hurt this country, but that they personally profited from.

If we ever needed an Edward R. Murrow, it's today.
