"According to my source, Eberle and Guckert failed to respond to this
request and the Committee on April 7, 2004 voted unanimously, 5 to 0,
"to deny the application for credentials of James Guckert."

One rationale for rejecting Gannon/Guckert, according to a letter the
Committee then wrote to Gannon's boss Eberle:


http://mediachannel.org/mc/gannondoc.pdf


"The application for accreditation to the press galleries states that
'members of the press shall not engage in lobbying or paid
advertising, publicity, promotion, work for any individual, political
party, corporation, organization, or agency of the Federal
Government.' Talon News has not demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the committee that there is a separation from GOP-USA/Millions of
Americans.com."

7. I suppose Jimmy Jeff could re-apply now...
You are invited to re-apply should Talon News’ circumstances change, or if additional information becomes available.

Sincerely,
Jim Drinkard
Chairman


...as Talon News’ circumstances have indeed changed. :evilgrin:

5. Denied in May, 2004, yet he's been in there before and since??!?
I don't get it. Does this guy have 8x10 glossies of Bush and Condi? Or of Karl and a gerbil??
