Media NOT asking: If Talon was legit news-service, WHY are they scrubbing

[blm]

all of Gannon's reports from the last two years and why are right wing sites getting rid of all their Gannon articles?

1. uhhhh, because the their is no free press in this country anymore

the mainstream media is a puppet of this government

[glitch]

2. They're too busy with counter measures: drooling over the "secret" tapes

of a concerned, thoughtful bush. Mean, nasty guckert to trick good boy bush! Naughty!
Actually, I have no idea since I don't watch the corporate media. But this is the path I think they'll take.

3. 50 bucks and a two day course in PROPAGANDA is all it takes to

be a 'journalist'!

...and hey, you don't have to give up your illicit prostitution gig either!

4. An excellent question! n/t

[Sparkly]

5. Good question. If there's nothing to hide,

why are they working so hard to hide stuff? :shrug:

6. Did anyone save some of his articles?

May be some clues/ hints something in them that they are worried about?

[blm]

10. My guess is that Media Mtters would have snagged everything when they

first got involved with this story. Brock knows how these winger-operatives work.

[Al-CIAda]

13. Exactly.

7. Circling the wagons. Protecting their own. We have no media per se.

[Toucano]

8. Damn right.

The scrubbing is dammning in and of itself.

9. What's really weird

is that one of their affiliate sites, Mens News Daily, is using the Gannon pieces as a come-on:

ATTENTION GANNON GAWKERS - YOU WANT GANNON? WE'VE GOT GANNON!

11. If they're legit, what are they afraid of?

Why do news services pull stories? For 2 reasons. One, they could get sued or two, they're afraid of public opinion.

[BuyingThyme]

12. They figure that if there's no articles, there's no Gannon.

You can learn a lot by reading his stuff. They can't afford to let that happen.
