Jeff Gannon Journalist Quotations

Mr. President, How are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?

I can tell you that there is a lot of misinformation out there. There's a lot of fabrication out there, and a lot of misinformation.

I was given a White House - well, you will have to ask the White House that. But I asked to attend the White House briefing because I was, you know, because I wanted to report on the activities there.

I was given no special information by the White House, or by anybody else, for that matter.

There are many, many organizations, many people that are allowed to attend the White House briefings. I don't know the criteria they use.

Even though it has been very painful, lots of opportunities have come forward journalistically. Once all of this blows over, I think it might actually help that I have gotten this attention.

As I've said, I've been advised not to get into the specifics out there. Is there some truth out there? Yes. Is there a lot of falsehood out there? Absolutely.

And I'm hoping that fair-minded people will stand up and say that what's been done to me is wrong, and that-that people's personal lives have no impact on their ability to be a journalist, you know. Why should my past prevent me from having a future?

There's a lot of things being said about me out there. A lot of things that have nothing to do with the reporting I've done for the last two years.

I asked to come. They allowed me to come. And apparently there isn't a very high threshold as far as somebody's personal life to gain access.
