Jeff Gannon will speak at The National Press Club April 8th about journalism and blogging. This guy isn't too happy about it. via Jeff Gannon.com
"E&P Editor Greg Mitchell responded in a letter to Romensko, noting that Gannon is appearing as part of a serious journalism discussion, not as a solo newsmaker: "Should a non-journalist who has worked as a male escort be invited to speak on a journalism panel at the National Press Club?" He asked Salant to supply the names of any suspected "hookers" who "have previously appeared as speakers at the Press Club, especially as part of journalism panels."
Gee, hasn't Greg heard of media whores? I shudder to think of things that would surface sexually if we dug into the lives of all the journalists and speakers at the Press Club. I'm betting we would find some past coke use (no, not the drink), maybe some steamy video, and no doubt adultery would be number one in the countdown to journalism indiscretion.
I find it ironic that the same people yelling for us to get out of this "private matter" of the Schiavo family feel that it is perfectly ok to "out" a journalist they don't like. The same people who call us religious folk judgmental are the most judgmental of all.
Jeff's past is certainly wrong. Just the little I do know to be true, but he has made it clear that he is no longer that man. The liberals certainly found it easy to forgive Clinton for cheating and lying and he was the freaking President.
It isn't his past they won't forgive Gannon for anyway, it's political beliefs. They just use his past to smear him. Just like the Gay Patriot was silenced for daring to be gay and conservative, they hate Jeff for daring to change and be conservative.
UPDATE: It seems the Press Club is closing this event to the public because of threats of liberal protests. Unfreakinbelievable.
