The Nashua Advocate: New Media Strikes Back With Gannongate Revelations
The new article is here.

It pulls no punches, and puts this thing in proper perspective.

Which is: that Gannongate is the biggest political scandal since Iran-Contra.

This man was not a renegade. People knew what he was doing.

In fact, he was hired to do it.

It will all come out.

But, like the Revolution, it will not be televised: it will only be playing on The New Media.

The News Editor
The Nashua Advocate

An excerpt:

Jeff Gannon Just a Bad Reporter? Yes, If a Conspiracy to Destroy the 2004 Democratic Presidential Candidate With Fabricated News Stories Is "Bad"

Gannon Also Believed to Have Disguised His Identity in South Dakota on More Than One Occasion in 2003

By ADVOCATE STAFF


The substantive case against Gannon is trivial.

-- Andrew Sullivan, AndrewSullivan.com, February 25th, 2005


Remember the good old days?

Remember February 10th, 2005?

When the conservative news outlet Accuracy in Media reported that an exhaustive list of Jeff Gannon's journalistic "crimes" would include no more and no less than the following: "he was too pro-Republican, he attended White House briefings, and he asked questions unfair to Democrats"?

God, we were young then.

(Sigh).

Times changed, though, didn't they?

And how!

Like just a few hours later, when Media Matters for America revealed that Jeff Gannon had fabricated a news report in order to bring down Democratic Presidential Candidate John F. Kerry.

1. John Kerry and this young woman need to file HUGE LIBEL SUITS
against these dickheads and their investors, even it ends up being the corporate business of the USA!!

This is worse than a National Enquirer article!! In fact, National Enquirer does a better job at speculating, period!! Talon as a "HOLE" is a joke. Too bad no one caught this HORSESHIT before the election.

3. The reason it's worse than the National
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 01:36 AM by shraby
Enquirer is we all know what National Enquirer is and to take it with a grain of salt. Not so with a White House Press reporter, or one from a nationally recognized newspaper...we should be able to expect a modicum of truth from them.

By the way, do you have the right date on his article, you have February 16th, 2005, shouldn't that be 2004?

12. that's true about our expectations of the Enquirer reporters vs MSM

4. 1st of all, has anyone HEARD about this before now?
2nd, we're to believe an "alleged" news agency that promotes a very "non-moral" act, accompanied by it's various websites? Who the hell do these people think they are trying to convince? The only problem I have with this situation is that Kerry will lay low (as always) and let the sludge rain down. It's damn time that the Dems stand up, fight back with a vengence and protect their OWN, just like the Refucklicans do.

22. More great reporting from the Nashua Advocate.
This belongs not only on "the Greatest" page, but on the FRONT page of DU.

Once more, I'm wondering how these so-called mainstream "reporters" can hold their heads up while folks like NA are doing this kind of work. I guess they're all just sitting and waiting till Daddy tells them it's OK to write about it, and then they can just reiterate what the internet sleuths have already told us.
