Jeff Gannon - Man of Illusion!
He's here, he's gone, he never existed. Jeff Gannon, White House reporter for Talon News! Apparently the Roveian Regurgitators forgot that Google and the Internet Archive and lots and lots of other RSS FeedSnatchers have reached out and captured all the Web pages someone is trying to delete. There's a crack in the Grand Delusion, and WebRiders everywhere are digging for gold as the story unfolds. Need to do a little catch-up? Simply looking for a QuickStop where you can drop the latest tidbit? Need to take a break from this incredible bullshit? (okay, okay, that was a shameless plug for a few entries in this BabyBlog, please for-friggin-give me!) SlowServers make for FrayedNervers, so feel free to click from this SlapUp entry as you travel on the Train of Thought - desination: Darkness. Just a mile down the road from Breaking Point ~

Overview
White House-credentialed fake news reporter "Jeff Gannon" from fake news agency "Talon News" was cited by the Washington Post as having the only access to an internal CIA memo that named Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a covert CIA agent. Gannon, in a question posed to Wilson in an October 2003 interview, referred to the memo (to which no other news outlet had access, according to the Post). Gannon subsequently has been subpoenaed by the federal grand jury looking into the Plame outing.
These facts have led the Kos community to research the following questions:
Who/what is Talon News?
Who/what is Jeff Gannon and how did he get credentialed for the White House?
How is this "reporter" and "news agency" being used to disseminate information?
What exactly is the relationship between all the various outlets/GOP groups/individuals?
What does all this information have to do with the Plame leak?
