The "Jeff Gannon" fake reporter story seems to be winding down. You can read one version of the events here. He has apparently resigned from "Talon News" over the controversy of who he really is. As an aside, it is interesting how many of the most virulent Republicans seem to turn out to have ties to pornography (in this case, gay porn).
There is a local angle to this story in that a local news site of dubious distinction has been re-publishing Gordon's writings for some time. Gordon has apparently even mentioned the site in an interview with PBS TV. I've talked before about this "news" site so I won't belabor the point but one does have to remember the old dictum: consider the source. YMMV. Insert disclaimer here.
Kudos to Ian Lind for the links.
Aloha!
