Second Talon News reporter lifted passages from other sources without citation

Former Talon News Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent Jeff Gannon (aka James D. Guckert) used Bush administration and Republican National Committee documents and releases in his Talon "news reports" verbatim and without attribution, as Media Matters for America first noted. But Gannon is not the only Talon reporter to lift entire passages from other sources without citation. As the website The Raw Story reported on February 22, "Talon News correspondent Steve Roeder lifted passages, clauses and sentences from stories published by The New York Times, FOX News Channel and Reuters."

Ok, he's not getting press passes yet to the White House, but he 'writing' the same type of news stories by plagerizing passages from other news sources.

1. I think the whole site will be gone/buried within a week. Go to it now.

None of the links to news articles works, latest news article is 2/17.

They're getting ready to "disappear" it.

2. It's an all volunteer press corps at Taliban News..................

anyone can be a reporter there, you just have to like the fact you're not going to be paid. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" fits very well here. "Taliban News" pays nothing and that's exactly what they get in return. In this case, less than nothing.
