Jeff Gannon Likes To Plagiarize The Associated Press
(UPDATE - As soon as I can, I'm going to add all of my articles proving plagiarism by Jeff Gannon to this post...for now...just follow the links at the bottom for more...)
(Yet another example of Jeff Gannon's "journalism." More to come.)
The Talon News "article" "Kirkuk Falls, Mosul Next, Tikrit Soon" "written" by Jeff Gannon on April 11, 2003 plagiarized an entire paragraph from an Associated Press article entitled "Two clerics killed in attack at Shiite Muslim shrine" that was published on April 10th (Jeff Gannon & A.P.):
Associated Press: "One of the slain clerics, Haider al-Kadar, was a widely hated loyalist of Hussein, part of the Iraqi leader's ministry of religion. The other was Abdul Majid al-Khoei, a high-ranking Shiite cleric and son of one of the religion's most prominent ayatollahs, or spiritual leaders, who was persecuted by Hussein. Al-Khoei had urged cooperation with U.S. troops."
Jeff Gannon: "One of the slain clerics, Haider al-Kadar, was a widely hated Saddam Hussein loyalist, part of the Iraqi leader's ministry of religion. The other was Abdul Majid al-Khoei, a high-ranking Shiite cleric and son of one of the religion's most prominent ayatollahs, or spiritual leaders, who was persecuted by Saddam. Al-Khoei had urged cooperation with U.S. troops."
But Jeff didn't stop there. He also snatched a sentence from another A.P. article that appeared on April 11th (U.S. hitting Hussein's hometown):
Associated Press: "American troops have worked to block roads leading to Tikrit, hoping to keep Iraqi leaders from fleeing there as well as reinforcements from arriving."

(UPDATE - Some links that illustrate why Jeff Gannon should not be invited to the National Press Club unless the subject is plagiarism: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and insert Gannon into the search box up top and you'll find even more at this blog.)
