Talon News is Down for the Count
The conservative website GOPUSA has shut down its "news" division today in the wake of the Jeff Gannon/J.D. Guckert scandal. Here's the story, according to Editor & Publisher.
First it lost "Jeff Gannon" as its White House correspondent. Then it scrubbed all of his articles from its site. Now Talon News is going dark.For an excellent take on the subject, check out Bill Maher's meme on Guckert.
The Web site, closely linked to Texas Republican activist Bobby Eberle and his GOPUSA.com, posted a message on its home page today announcing that Talon was going offline for, as it said, a "top-to-bottom" review.
James Guckert, better known by his pen name Jeff Gannon, got press credentials for two years at the White House under his alias, first under the auspices of GOPUSA, then Talon News. He has since been linked to male escorts sites and has refused to deny working as a prostitute, most recently on this morning's NBC "Today" show.
