Jeff Gannon's alma mater: The Leadership Institute
The only journalism-related credential listed on former Talon News Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent Jeff Gannon's Talon News bio -- which was removed from Talon's website after Media Matters for America drew attention to Gannon and Talon News -- was The Leadership Institute Broadcast School of Journalism. While Talon News appears to be more of a Republican political advocacy group than a media outlet, The Leadership Institute Broadcast School of Journalism appears to be more of a training ground for Republican advocacy in the media than a school of journalism.

The Leadership Institute's president and founder, Morton C. Blackwell, told The Washington Post in 1992 that the Institute is "conservative, but not partisan." A review of the Institute's leadership and programming indicates otherwise.

1. Everyone should look over this organizations site
http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/04RESOURCES/RootsLeft.htm

This is a link to a page for a cd for purchase called the Roots of the Left. This is not a very flattering or truthful portrayal of Liberal Americans!!

Here is the header;
The Roots of the Ultra Left is an in-depth look at 35 things the ultra left really thinks. From Socialism to Communism, from economic and religious oppression to the elimination individual freedoms -- they say it’s all for the common good, but the ultra left’s sordid history tells a different tale. It's the documentary the left doesn't want you to see. It’s the documenatry you can’t afford to miss.

You can view a script of the production!!
:grr:
