Jeff Gannon/James Guckert to Sue Media Matters?
UPI is reporting that Newsweek says Gannon/Guckert plans to sue Media Matters. Yes,
that Media Matters.
UPI:
Former Talon News writer Jeff Gannon has threatened to sue the liberal groups and blogs who exposed his lack of credentials, Newsweek said Monday....
Gannon told Newsweek he was the victim of a "political assassination" committed by groups like Media Matters for America, a cyberspace watchdog organization founded by former investigative journalist David Brock, and is considering bringing suit against them, though the group does not seem concerned.
"Everything we wrote about him came from the public record," Brock said.
Was this a political assassination? Yes. Is there cause for a lawsuit? I don't think so.
Reporting that Guckert was a gay prostititue, that's a fact. Reporting that he was a schill, that's an opinion. You can't sue because some one has a poor opinion of you.

Jeff Gannon isnt factually a shill? Rusty yo ureally believe that. Rhetorical skill aside, you really believe that JEff Gannon received his press pass as just being as qualified as the other journalists in the audience who had to prove identities and work for an actual news reporting company? You mean to say that the FACDT that GAnnon was given credentials PRIOR to the creation of Talon News ( A GOP texas) website, that GAnnon was not placed there as nother paid off pundit? At some point , like GE moore says, doubting doesnt make sense. NO matter how conservative you are, I wouldnt try to rationalize this one, that is unless you are in just to sharpen skills of rhetoric...common sense is too obvious here.

It turns out that being a schill is all in the eye of the beholder. I heard all of the questions that he aked Fleishcer in all of his press conferences. None of them seemed less stupid than the questions posed by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN etc.
A schill just happens to be the guy who is asking the questions you don't care about.

Just got done looking into more info about the moral value anti-gay marriage patriot jeff gannon. what a story! my god, it amazes me conservatives defend this. this has freud written all over it. really, if this had been clinton the "moral value" people would be screaming for investigations. in this day and age, how does one with a hooker with an alias egt into the white house briefs? who i nthe whitehouse is gannons boyfriend? this is hilarious. Gannon on GOPUSA describes himself as a "conservative man" with who has a gun and drives an SUV (what a man). This is great, the mask is off, we see what actually exists. crazy closet gays wearing their patriotism on their sleeves as they exist in bad faith. just like the movie american beauty, all that right wing hate jsut being a function of sexual frustration.ahhahahahahahhaha
