New Blog For EasonGate- Response to American Soldiers Murdering Journalist Comment

Purpose

The Easongate blog has been created in light of Eason Jordan's recent statements at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he accused American servicemen of intentionally targeting and killing journalists in Iraq. These are serious charges that should not have been made without supporting evidence, which he did not provide. American servicemen and women are risking their lives daily and it is wholly inappropriate for a man of his stature and influence to make baseless claims in front of an international audience. As an experienced journalist, he fully understands the impact of his words and the effects on his audience. Mr. Jordan has a past history of making such statements

I went over to her blog ( a good one ) and scrolled down to the comment section... you know when a blog has hit the big time ( or, perhaps, is starting to hit a nerve... ) when it starts attracting disruptors, and sure enough, her blog is drawing its own little trolls out of the woodwork, so she's doing a good job.

The MSM is not going to know what hit them once talk radio, the 'net, and the blogs draw a bead on their perfidy.

Perhaps Eason and Churchill can take their show on the road. Visit the liberal colleges and be worshipped.

I believe there is a portion of the live fire area of AP Hill in Virginia that is devoted to silhouettes of journalists and cameramen. They make good targets because they're usually unarmed and making a lot of noise.
Why would anyone want to shoot a journalist?
(this is rhetorical)

These are serious charges that should not have been made without supporting evidence, which he did not provide.

Ummmm...ok - evidence/no evidence provided.....real believable.

Might as well hang the Keyword Easongate on this, ... lots of blog sites going after it:

Easongate: Right-wing blogstorm battle tactics

By Rebecca MacKinnon, 02/04/2005 - 10:42pm

It's pretty clear that the Right is light-years ahead of the Left (or the center) when it comes to blogstorm warfare tactics.

In case you haven't followed the emerging "Easongate" flap, CNN's Eason Jordan said some controversial things in Davos about U.S. troops targeting journalists. Right wing bloggers and pundits are calling for his head, Rathergate-style. Hugh Hewitt, who just came out with a book on the power of blogstorms, is leading the charge. (For more on the situation see this, this, this, and this, for starters.)

I've decided to track the spread of "Easongate" online. From now on everytime I come across an online news item or blog post about this, I'm going to tag it in del.icio.us, with "Easongate."  If you'd like to help track the conversation please tag everything you come across with the same tag.  (For more about how to use del.icio.us tags see this tutorial.) 

So far, most of the activity is on the right-hand side of the political spectrum, with center and left blogs plus non-rightwing MSM (mainstream media) largely silent.
