Talon News Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent Jeff
Gannon, who accused his colleagues in the press corps of "work(ing) off
of the talking points" provided by Democrats, has used Bush
administration and Republican National Committee (RNC) documents and
releases in his Talon "news reports" verbatim and without attribution.
In at least two of his articles, Gannon lifted more than half of the
text directly from GOP "fact sheets." Moreover, as Media Matters for
America has pointed out, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh
proclaimed that Gannon repeated a fabricated assertion of Limbaugh's in
asking a question at President Bush's January 26 press conference. [more]
