Back around 2005, a journalist who was present at many of the Whitehouse press briefings lobbed what most people thought was a very "softball" question. The question was

Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. [Senate Minority Leader] Harry Reid [D-NV] was talking about soup lines ...[snip] ...how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?

It was seen as such a generous helping to the president. People got suspicious and did some research on this "reporter" by the name of Jeff Gannon.

Discussions at TheDemocraticUnderground were in earnest. It was soon discovered that this "reporter" from "TalonNews" was actually a homosexual escort in the DC area.

Then it gets really weird. A user from DU suggests that maybe the "reporter" might have been an abused child. Another user of the forum did some digging and found a startling discovery. The Whitehouse reporter was the spitting image of a kidnap victim more than 20 years ago by the name of Johnny Gosch. This was and still technically is an unsolved case. The features of the child were a striking match to the now adult Gannon. They also linked him to other aliases such as James Guckert and always using the intials JDG.

How was a reporter allowed access to the Whitehouse on an alias? How did he pass a background check? Was he given a plum job as restitution for having his life torn to shreds?

Also Hunter S Thompson killed himself mere days after this came to light and he was pointed out to be the videographer of many depraved acts.
