Wow! Thanks.

Thanks for the followup.

"As it is now the American MSM has mortally wounded itself in Iraq with it's blatantly false reporting."

IMO the reporting from Iraq is not so much false as one sided. I understand "If it Bleeds it Leads" school of journalism but for the sake of accuracy they could/should report the whole story, bad and good.
The American public is not being well served by the 4th estate.

It was filmed. Wonder when it will surface?

The moral that should be learned from the scenarios that Eason mentions is simply this :

NEVER BRING A CAMERA TO A GUNFIGHT

[papertyger]

Right wing bloggers: are you holding our leaders to the same standard of accountability that we are now holding Eason Jordan Oh yeah. THAT'S the problem with the world. Not enough people on the internet ragging on George W. Bush.

Besides which, there is a mighty big difference between someone who has to worry about operational security, and someone who gets a woody from blowing opsec.

So far as I'm concerned, any moron who even implies Bush took us to war for personal reasons needs to be bitch-slapped for stupidity...even if the stated reason for it isn't self-evident.

There is a whole bunch of conservative Blog sites going after this story...:

Blogstorm descending on CNN ( Easongate situation )

When a conservative is wrong, intentionally or not, it's a LIE.

When a liberal deliberately makes a false statement, it's a "mistake".

Now THAT'S a tagline!

"Are Bloggers Targeting CNN News Chief Eason Jordan?"

NO, and don't try to twist it around and change the subject, the subject and truth is, Eason Jordan falsly accusing our Military and Troops of "targeting" reporters.

Say goodnight Eason.

I guess I should feel sorry for him but I don't since they aren't interested in the TRUTH. And since the OLD MEDIA is targeting anyone and anything conservative. If they want a fight they just started one. So far, it's not going too well for them.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I don't really believe that it is a "right" or "left" thing. Rather, I believe it is an "arrogance" thing which doesn't sit well with bloggers. I mean, really, how would you like it if someone with journalistic ethical standards which peaks at Dan Rather's nadir claims that bloggers aren't really bona-fide journalists?

[Valin]

I'm planning on picking up an exrta quart of sympathy in the morning hust for him.

[Valin]

They've had the field all to themselves for so long that they(the MSM) are having a real hard time understanding that their world has changed.

[Interesting Times]

We all know that terrible things happened in Vietnam, and why should we believe that in Iraq all is well, or has gone well?

We "know" this because during Vietnam, the liars had all the microphones.

We all know that terrible things happened in Vietnam

Yes we do, and they happened AFTER 1975.
