Talon News off line
===Emerging News===
It now appears that [http://bluememe.blogspot.com/2005/02/no-news-is-talon-news-update.html "No News is Talon News."] In a February 23, 2005, update, ''Blue Meme'' reports "Still not a byte changed since last Thursday... It is as if [[Dan Rather]] stepped down, and [[CBS]] News went dark."
According to the ''Talon News'' [http://www.talonnews.com/ web site]:
:"The recent public focus on Talon News, while much of it malicious, has indeed brought some constructive elements to the surface. It has also brought many kind messages of support, and for that we are extremely grateful.
:"In order to better serve those readers across the country who enjoy Talon News content and look forward to receiving it each day, we feel compelled to reevaluate operations in order to provide the highest quality, most professional product possible.
:"Thus, Talon News will be offline while we redesign the web site, perform a top-to-bottom review of staff and volunteer contributors, and address future operational procedures.
:"We look forward to bringing an even better product to our readers in the future."
John Byrne's <i>The Raw Story</i>, which has been hot on the trail of the ''Talon News''-"[[Jeff Gannon]]" story, announced February 22, 2005, that [http://rawstory.com/news/2005/index.php?p=112 "''Talon News'' appears to have plagiarized content from Fox News, others."] See ''The Raw Story'' article for examples.
