who is talon news?
How long have they been around? And why is it, every time I hear their name, I think of "Let the Eagle Soar"?

1. Talon news is one of the most distinguished news sites on earth.
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 03:52 PM by brainshrub
Talon News, established in 1991, has won several Pulitzer Prizes and is famous for it's hard-hitting Socratic reporting.

ON EDIT: /sarcasm.

3. Are you saying Talon was the name of a company in a Hollywood movie?
I'm not sure I understand the question.

Thanks for the compliment.

6. That awful song was in my head all morning after I posted a similar topic.
Thank God I only know the short bit he sings in F911.

7. Archive.org dates them back to April 2003
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://talonnews.com

It is slightly odd that they were formed right when Bush went in to Iraq (remember, archive.org takes a month or so to get a site in there).

8. more than slightly odd
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 04:24 PM by oldtime dfl_er
talon news is probably created and fully funded by the WH. Or the CIA. or the FBI. or Homeland Security. Or...or...but in any case, it is my feeling that they are not what they seem (ie just a conservative news organization).
