'''Talon News''', although it [http://www.talonnews.com/about/ once described] itself as "a news company which covers political, national, and world news," saying that it "focuses on those stories often overlooked by other [[media]] outlets," was exposed as a "sham" news organization with fake [[White House "correspondent"]] "[[Jeff Gannon]]" who apparently obtained access for nearly two years on day press passes to the White House and White House press briefings through Talon's close affiliation with the [[conservative]] organization [[GOPUSA]], a [[right-wing]] site owned by Texas-based [[Republican Party|Republican]] activist [[Bobby Eberle]], and is guilty of plagiarism.

:"Talon News apparently consists of little more than Eberle, Gannon, and a few volunteers, and is virtually indistinguishable from GOPUSA.com."
