Gannongate Update

Secret Service records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Members of Congress show that the fake reporter who operated under the false name, Jeff Gannon, appeared at the White House about 200 times in his 2 year tenure at the fake news service, Talon News, which often published plagiarized material. Sigificantly, about 40 of those visits were times when there was no press briefing scheduled. And on at least two occasions -- he checked-in but never checked-out with the Secret Service.

The exclusive is at The Raw Story, which observes that Gannon "had little to no previous journalism experience, previously worked as a male escort, and was refused a congressional press pass."

Oh yes. And ePluribus Media, the organizational outgrowth of the group of citizen journalists who helped break the Gannongate story... is coming soon.
