James "Jeff Gannon" Guckert was hired by "Talon News" to ask softball and laudatory "questions" at George W. Bush's press conferences.
This Rion woman is pretty much the female version, of "Jeff Gannon," only she was hired by "One America News," and is a long-time conspiracy theorist.

It doesn't surprise me that people like this exists. It surprises me that they are given legitimacy with press credentials .
