One interesting point to make about this whole scandal involving "Jeff Gannon" (or whatever his name is), the "reporter" who somehow obtained White House press credentials…
All defenses of this situation start with the premise that the news website he represented, Talon News, was a major source of news with a wide readership. They claim 700,000 users. But according to Alexa, which is the most notable service which tracks such things, Talon News ranks #640,377 in web traffic. That is, there are that many web sites that receive more hits.
By way of comparison, the site you're reading at the moment is composed of two separate web addresses. My weblog page (www.newsfromme.com) ranks #104,130, and the rest of the site (www.POVonline.com) ranks #226,035. Maybe I can get clearance to go in and participate in presidential press conferences. I'll start by asking Bush about his favorite delicatessen.
