Not quite: The score is 2-2. We lost Gannon and NCPAC.

Naw, Gannon and NCPAC were field goals. The score down on the field is 14-6...

Methinks someone has a copy of the tape and basically told Jordan he could either resign or have it broadcast.

I love it.

You've been on the Eason case, no?

This is what makes Free Republic so great... the story may not always be broke here first... but when it is broke somewhere else, you get the news on Free Republic within seconds of it breaking elsewhere.

Eason down the road ...

Humming along...

"After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," he said in a note to CNN staff.

Translation: He lied like a dang rug, and he knew it was a lie all along. He chose to dance, now he is paying the piper. What a dirt bag.

RED ALERT!

[NorCalRepub]

you are right about Fridays but now with the internet, blogs and cable, putting out news on Friday afternoon doesn't squash it like it used to.....it just makes it snowball all the more over the weekend......

[Bahbah]

the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq,

There are alot of all sorts of people being killed in Iraq, in particular Iraquis. How about them!!!

[HAL9000]

Release the Eason Jordon Tape!

And the Bill Gates Tape!

[Dog]

ours being a virtual unknown

I disagree Laz......Jeff's voice will be missed...

[dalight]

mmm.. you aren't thinking about Gannon appearantly.. MSM has already traded this punch. Obviously this is like trading a pawn for a Queen. :)

[dirtboy]

Naw, Gannon and NCPAC were field goals.

Not only that, but the Gannon and especially the NCPAC matters may still blow up in some MSM faces.
