It’s been more than two years since Jeff Gannon (birth name: James Dale Guckert) resigned from Talon News, a conservative Web site for which Gannon served as White House correspondent. At the time, some theorized that Gannon was liberally granted press access in order to ask softball questions of White House officials. Others were taken aback by nude pictures of Gannon that appeared on male escort service Web pages. A few questioned his lack of journalism education and experience.
Well, Gannon’s back, and he has his claws out. Gannon will release his book, “The Great Media War: A Battlefield Report,” on Sept. 4. The book chronicles his experiences at the White House and what he believes is the media’s liberal bias.
But don’t expect Gannon’s book to be a tawdry tell-all. Gannon says that he “deals with” his personal life in the book but adds, “My story is just a small part of it.” And besides, he’s not quite sure what all the fuss was about anyway. “It’s all irrelevant,” he says. “None of it had anything to do with my work as a reporter. … I have nothing to expose besides liberal media bias.”
Gannon says that because his book is not a saucy expose, most major publishing houses were less interested in his manuscript. As a result, he’s elected to self-publish “Great Media War” to “maintain total control of the product.” He hopes his book will allow readers to learn about the real Jeff Gannon.
