All this goon did was cut and paste RNC PR releases...playing telegraph by spreading a regime lies as others linked to his/Talon's articles which then got all over wingnutland. He also sat in the WH Press Room asking highly partisan "questions" and to intimidate other "reporters" who worked there.
A reporter is exactly that...one who cites the facts from the record with little to no embellishment. "Gannon" was taking talking points and spreading them...just like a promoter.
If we're still discussing if "Gannon" was a "reporter" or "journalist" or anything more than a RNC mole, this story will have become a great opportunity squandered.
