Jeff Gannon - #4?
The Boston Globe ran this story yesterday, coming on the heels of the pay for ink “scandals.”
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration has provided White House media credentials to a man who has virtually no journalistic background, asks softball questions to the president and his spokesman in the midst of contentious news conferences, and routinely reprints long passages verbatim from official press releases as original news articles on his website.
Jeff Gannon calls himself the White House correspondent for TalonNews.com, a website that says it is “committed to delivering accurate, unbiased news coverage to our readers.” It is operated by a Texas-based Republican Party delegate and political activist who also runs GOPUSA.com, a website that touts itself as “bringing the conservative message to America.”
As noted before: the blood is in the water.
Well, as long as you’re not Eason Jordan.
UPDATE: I have no way of judging the credibility of this report (via Henry Hanks). But a few places suggest his real name is Dave Rayboen.
UPDATE 2: Fishbowl DC weighs in with some “real reporting” here (via Wonkette).
