American Enterprise Institute published "Jeff Gannon"

The American Enterprise, the monthly magazine of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI), published a "Short News and Commentary" article by former Talon News White House correspondent Jeff Gannon (aka James Guckert) in its March 2004 issue.

Media Matters for America demonstrated that Gannon has served as a lifeline for White House press secretary Scott McClellan at press briefings and that Gannon copied GOP documents and releases verbatim and without attribution for use in his articles.

Scholars and fellows at AEI include former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA); author, National Review contributing editor and former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum; Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney; and author John R. Lott Jr., who has been criticized for using disputed research, embellishing his credentials, and writing under a pseudonym to respond to criticism of him, as Media Matters has noted.

FINISH THE JOB

snip...
Ken Joseph opposed going to war against Saddam Hussein. He even went to Iraq to help do what he could to "stop the war" by serving as a "human shield." Then the soft-spoken minister got what he describes as a "stark dose of reality."


An Assyrian Christian, Joseph has relatives who lived in Iraq during the regime of Saddam Hussein. His change of heart came after visiting them and finding that they wanted the war "to come as soon as possible so they could be freed from the nightmare." Joseph, a pastor, left Iraq when the U.N. personnel pulled out shortly before the commencement of hostilities. He returned with the first postwar relief truck.


--Jeff Gannon is Washington bureau chief for Talon News.

Not sure if this has been posted, hope it isn't a dupe.

1. I am so disappointed in AEI as I was under the impression that

they only allowed Right Wing Brainiac types into their coveted circles.

Whoa! Now they publish blather from a pseudo-journalist, right wing prostitute.


Who da thunk it! :smoke:

2. Wow, he was Washington Bureau Chief for Talon?

I hear you need at least 10 inches to get that.

3. Reporting on Ken Joseph, the "anti-war activist".

The story was fraudulent propaganda. Joseph has no record as anything but a right-winger. There is no evidence that Joseph was ever against the Iraq invasion.

Check out Ken Joseph's commentaries:

Anti-war activist! LOL!

Counterpunch tore this fake story apart:
