The bad news is, I&#8217;m still up against it for the moment, so blogging may continue to be slow-ish here for a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>So feel free to consider this another open thread&#8230;but I&#8217;ll toss in a few of the latest notable Gannon\/Guckert items:<\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li><i>WorldNetDaily&#8217;s<\/i> CEO and Managing Editor, Joseph Farah, who the previous day had <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/archives\/00001211.htm\">smashed up folks<\/a> covering the story as &#8220;the homosexual press&#8221; (over and over again) on his hate-mongering website, seemed to be <a href=\"http:\/\/worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42974\" target=\"_blank\">whistling a different tune yesterday<\/a>. What&#8217;s his game? I smell a rat. Trying to make Talon News and &#8220;Gannon&#8221; <i>himself<\/i> the story, rather than the possible cover-up that made it all possible? You decide.\n<p>NOTE TO MR. FARAH: Your <a href=\"http:\/\/worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43014\" target=\"_blank\">story <i>today<\/i><\/a> on Sen. Durbin&#8217;s letter was based on one by Raw Story, that &#8220;homosexual publication&#8221; you mentioned two days before. Why don&#8217;t you give them credit for that breaking story since your story yesterday criticized Talon News for not being upfront about its coverage?!&#8230;And while we&#8217;re at it, your piece yesterday was called &#8220;No Substitute for Real Journalism&#8221;, but then you ran <a href=\"http:\/\/worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43011\" target=\"_blank\">a column by the repugnant Ann Coulter<\/a> which ends with the demonstrably fallacious statement, &#8220;Gannon didn&#8217;t write about gays. No &#8216;hypocrisy&#8217; is being exposed. Liberals&#8217; hateful, frothing-at-the-mouth campaign against Gannon consists solely of their claim that he is gay.&#8221; Do you stand behind what you re-print on your site? Mr. Farah can be reached via <a href=\"mailto:jfarah@worldnetdaily.com?BCC=TheBradBlog@cville.com\">email right here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>It must be actual <i>news<\/i> now, because Fox &#8220;News&#8221; Channel is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/0,2933,148604,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">reporting the story<\/a>. At least on their website.<\/li>\n<li>They&#8217;re a &#8220;real&#8221; news organization they say, but after one &#8220;reporter&#8221; has resigned, the entire thing has <a href=\"http:\/\/americablog.blogspot.com\/2005\/02\/talon-news-go-dark.html\" target=\"_blank\">gone dark<\/a>.\n<li>Today&#8217;s BlogCall with John Aravosis (as mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/archives\/00001212.htm\">yesterday&#8217;s post<\/a>) on all of the above went very well, I believe. The call will be broadcast &#8220;live&#8221; in its entirety on <a href=\"http:\/\/RadioLeft.com\" target=\"_blank\">RadioLeft.com<\/a> at 6pm ET. It will be archived for posterity thereafter by the good folks of <a href=\"http:\/\/whiterosesociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">WhiteRoseSociety.org<\/a>. See <a href=\"http:\/\/blogcall.org\" target=\"_blank\">BlogCall.org<\/a> for more info and details on the upcoming call with yours truly and Clint Curtis. (<b><i>UPDATE:<\/b><\/i> The calls are now archived at The White Rose Society on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whiterosesociety.org\/Blogcall.html\" target=\"_blank\">this page<\/a> where you can now listen to Thursday&#8217;s call in .MP3 format.<\/li>\n<li>AND FINALLY&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">WRITE YOUR SENATORS!<\/a> As Raw Story <a href=\"http:\/\/rawstory.com\/news\/2005\/index.php?p=117\" target=\"_blank\">reported yesterday<\/a>, Sen. Durbin is circulating a letter calling for an investigation of the Gannon\/Guckert matter. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.senate.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">Let your Senator know<\/a> that you&#8217;d like them to sign on to his call for an investigation! Especially if your Senator happens to be Joe Biden who, on Friday&#8217;s <i>Real Time with Bill Maher<\/i> said there needs to be an investigation, but now he won&#8217;t sign on to the letter! And he was amongst the few Dem Senators I still liked! Oh, well&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p>Over. Out. And hopefully back soon&#8230;Oh, good luck to Dr. and Mrs. Yang who are being deposed today and tomorrow down in Florida! Anyone wanna go listen in and report back with notes? It&#8217;s open to the public! Mrs. Yang is on at 9am tomorrow (Friday) morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in yesterday&#8217;s only post, there are a number of items that are keeping me from blogging here as usual.
