"We did not want Jordan fired ?"
This from the man who shivered in delight at describing Jordan as "the next target of opportunity" ?
I'm grateful that you supplied me with that telling phrase, John.
It reassures me that I was correct in using the words "salivating" and "headhunters" to describe you and your like.
And feel free to quote me on that.
The more distribution this gets, the better.

So, this guru of the MSM still thinks that Eason Jordan belongs in the news business, and that we are mindless attackers trying to drive him out, just to flex our muscles.
In the vernacular, Steve just "doesn't get it." And as the MSM as it used to be, slips beneath the waves like the fatally-wounded Titanic, Lovelady will be on deck shouting to the decreasing number who take him seriously that "all is well."
As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does." He urges maximum "distribution" of my column. Use your Rolodexes and oblige the gentleman.

If you are considered a "salavating moron", what does that make Eason?
Though much overused, in the case of the erupting war between the Blogosphere and Old Media it is appropriate: PARADIGM SHIFT (PS).
The reason this is important, John, is that one of the distinctions between a PS and other types of change is that there is always a sharp cleavage between the Old guard and the new, and ARGUMENT DOESN'T WORK because the Old never can "get it". They filter all arguments through their Old filter.
The new paradigm just grows, and the old guys just die off, and the cleavage between the two is never bridged. After their generation is gone, their resistance seems just a curiosity.
I guess all that salavating gave you the shivers.
