<![CDATA[Yahoo! News – Talon News Web Site Closes Amid Heavy Criticism:

A Texas-based Web site whose conservative connections touched off a White House media controversy has shut down “to reevaluate operations,” according to a message posted on the site.

A spokeswoman for Talon News said the site closed because its founder, Bobby Eberle of Pearland, Texas, “can only take so much beating” over the page’s political slant, the Houston Chronicle reported on Friday.

Just another example of PR masquerading as journalism. When the going gets tough for a real news organization, it works harder. Talon News just gives up. They’ll be back in some other guise, playing just as dirty, but that’s only another form of misdirection.]]>
