Records: Writer at White House 196 Times

59 minutes ago White House - AP

WASHINGTON - A conservative writer who quit his job covering President Bush amid criticism for his pointedly political questions visited the White House 196 times in two years, the Secret Service has disclosed.

James D. Guckert, who wrote under the name Jeff Gannon, was Washington bureau chief for Talon News, a conservative online news outlet associated with another Web site, GOPUSA. Guckert posed questions with conservative overtones, attracting scrutiny from liberal bloggers who linked Guckert with online domain addresses suggestive of gay pornography. Guckert resigned in February.

Democratic Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and John Conyers of Michigan filed a freedom of information request and were given Secret Service records of Guckert's visits to the White House.

Short, sweet, and hitting all of the salient points: Nearly 200 visits, conservative overtones, gay pornography. Talk about a Trinity of Sleaze!

13. WOO HOO....didn't you send it to them this morning! Good for you or

whomever it was. Wish the text was longer...but hey...we are lucky to get anything.

:woohoo:

[Liberty Belle]

52. Send the Guardian the FULL story from rawstory.com.

This blurb doesn't bother to mention that many of those 196 "visits" were NOT during press conferences, that often Gannon signed in but not out, and that it appears he may have stayed overnight at the White House at least 13 times.

That paints a far different story than the AP whitewash.

22. I gave it a *5* !!!

But what's with this part...?

"attracting scrutiny from liberal bloggers who linked Guckert with online domain addresses suggestive of gay pornography"

Sounds like someone is bending over backwards to downplay this man's documented involvement with gay porn and prostitution.

I'm not judging Jim/Jeff, just wanting the coverage to be a little more "on the nose".

Gotta make sure to mention "liberal bloggers" if you want to discredit something.

29. lmao...

um, did they have a dream or a vision? where could this have come from... lol

[deminks]

31. My thought, too!

I can't believe they didn't source the material to rawstory.com. Someday we will take back our media, or we will be the media.

[lala_rawraw]

35. They never do... in fact

I have been keeping track. The most terrible "lifting" came from Cin. Enq., who lifted my Clermont story and then DISTORTED it completely and mis-quoted one of my sources. I emailed the writer and he admitted to having read my story first. Given that I am a "no one" because I choose to write the truth and given that because I am a "no one" I have no legal resources, I had to let it go.

Now, why is this important? Credit? Not entirely. While it is nice to get credit for hard work and risky situations, I am more interested in getting the truth out. The problem is, however, that I happen to be ill as we all know. In this case, the credit is needed because it can help boost some funding. I explained this to said writer and got no response.

Now, if you think only the psychotic right is guilty of this, you would be surprised just who lifts work and how often. It really does little to establish a truth movement when the people part of it act in a way contrary. So that is my small rant on the whole credit thingy.:)

But at least it is out and that is what is important. It is not my story, but I am fighting for it because it is an important story to get out. So I don't care if they did not credit us for this one.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. They didn't credit Raw Story eh?

That's a no no in the media business right?

[lala_rawraw]

38. what media biz? lol, they NEVER do...

Not on the Blackwell letter, not on Clermont, not on Social Security, not on NCPPR flying Delay around, and so forth. It is a no no for me and I source everyone. It seems others don't really give a flying rat's arse.

[FreedomAngel82]

45. Question from me

Are they just misquoting you or palagarizing?

[lala_rawraw]

58. they are not bothering with us

At all, but sometimes actually plagerize in a general enough way, not word for exact word, but the same flow and order of things.

The Cin Enq actually distorted my facts while using my story and my source, whom they misquoted.

60. Amazing what they omit!!

"liberal bloggers who linked Guckert with online domain addresses suggestive of gay pornography."

Um, photos of his full erection, escort policies, and reviews from clients are a little more than "suggestions," and a little more than "pornography."

In addition, they failed to state that Mr. Bureau Chief had ZERO journalism background, worked for a brand-new group that was hardly a news agency, was funded by Texas backers, re-used day passes, entered without exiting, exited without entering, stayed for hours, visited when there were no press conferences, visited on Sundays, etc. etc. etc....

On edit: And furthermore, why'd they call him a "WRITER" in that headline? :mad:

[Bouncy Ball]

61. Suggestive of gay pornography?

SUGGESTIVE?????

How about flat-out "he was pimping himeslf out to men for sex at the tune of $1200 for the whole weekend?"
