"Jeff Gannon" appeared on a panel at the National Press Club in DC Friday morning, on the subject of journailsm and blogging. The event lasted 90 minutes; but crooksandliars.com has put up a 
17-minute highlight reel in WMV and QT formats. Note the audience member crying out at the end, "Did you ever sleep with Scott McClellan, Jeff?"Gannon admits on his own site that he ran away from the Press Club with a security detail rather than answer these candid questions.
Then, later in the day, MSNBC did 10-15 minutes on the Is-Gannon-Johnny-Gosch question. Democrat Underground posters have made the video available in both
RealVideo and WMV. Lafayette-based journo Andrew Griffin (tipped by yours truly), blogged up a good summary reproduced here: A new talk show on MSNBC, "Dietl and Daniels" featured as its first story, the mystery of whether faux journalist Jeff Gannon is actually kidnapped Iowa paperboy Johnny Gosch. Bo Dietl did most of the interview and had on Johnny's mother Noreen Gosch and investigators Andy Stephenson and James Rothstein. (I want to thank my source for alerting me to this segment and this new show on MSNBC, otherwise I would've missed it).
Basically they went over the case and showed photos of Gosch at age 12 in 1982 and Gannon in present day. There are striking similarities and supposedly the two share similar birthmarks.
Of course, Dietl asked Noreen Gosch if when she was briefly reunited with her son in 1997, if this guy Gannon looked like the same man claiming to be her son back then. She blandly answered that she wasn't sure. I was disappointed Mrs. Gosch didn't say more about what she thought about the whole issue.
Dietl said he talked to 'Gannon' (aka James Guckert) last night and had an in-depth conversation with him about various issues. Dietl said he asked Gannon point blank if he was Johnny Gosch and all Gannon said was "I feel sorry for that poor woman, Noreen." Dietl added that his gut told him Gannon wanted to talk more but that his lawyers told him not to. So, basically, Gannon left the door open. Dietl said that his show would stay on the story and await new developments. Mr. Rothstein ended the show saying they sent an investigator to talk to Gannon and that when the issue of "Johnny Gosch" came up, Gannon slammed the door in his face.
