Wow. I have only scanned a few of the 'Gannon Talon pieces' so far, but a few things seem to really jump out at one:
- IThe "Gannon/Talon" stuff is major league hogwash Bushco propaganda, but it is well written hogwash. It is probably ghostwritten by a crew of real wordsmiths in actual fact and not by Gannon/Guckert at all, is my guess.
- Judging from the output level, and the contrast to the lack of skill and low quality, characteristic of Guckert's earlier independent website enterprises, the writing very likely cannot be G/G's.
- In nearly all of the Talon output, Gannon's name is the only byline. No one shares authorship with Gannon on these pieces, in spite of the fact that the content is put out by a very well organized operation.
Tentative Conclusion:
Gannon/Guckert was clearly a paste-up figure given (rewarded with?) a very prominent visible job in a serious Bushco propaganda mill operation (GOPUSA), but GOPUSA wanted a clear chinese wall or line of separation between itself and Gannon, so it set him up in the 'Talon' special purpose entity, in which Gannon's name was the only one formally tied to Talon.
Why?
