 A CNN Executive Says G.I.s in Iraq Target Journalists -- Eason Jordan, ignited an Internet firestorm last week when he told a panel at a World Economic Forum gathering in Davos, Switzerland, that the American military had targeted journalists during operations in Iraq.

 

 About faces -- When challenged, Mr. Jordan could provide no evidence to support the charge, and subsequently lied about having made it, though the record shows he had made a similar charge a few months before, and also earlier had falsely accused the Israeli military of targeting journalists.

 Can you or somebody please quickly bring me up to speed as I start wading through it?? A nice summary of the whole Eason Jordan story HERE

 Little Green Footballs notes that another lefty nutball has resigned, the one who invited Ward Churchill to speak and who runs some crappy "Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture at Hamilton College" (unscholarly crap):

 The media herd is stunned. They don't know what to do next.

-- other writers, reporters, and bloggers at "Easongate" who finally got the "old media" to report this very newsworthy story .

Another fine Blog:

 For the Record, in case Rony Abovitz's post gets deleted one day: http://www.forumblog.org/blog/2005/01/do_us_troops_ta.html

 Be sure to check out the Captain's Quarters blog...he makes a great point, the MSM now have to cover the resignation of a major news exec over a "scandal they had never reported to their viewers."

 I think the MSM and the Hollywood Left no longer understand what the public Internet has done in regards to speed of news dissemination.

Is it just me or is FR slow this morning? (Sat., 2/12/05)

I was getting error messages off and on most of yesterday afternoon when trying to go from the main pages to comments to me- but the speed today seems normal from my end.

[CDHart]

Thanks for the reply -- I'm on Earthlink dial-up and everything else seems normal but FR is slow. Oh well, just the vagaries of the internet, I guess.

 EASONGATE: A RETROSPECTIVE (Standout Bloggers On The Story!!) -- The shock waves that have overwhelmed CNN started with a single blogger and reverberated worldwide. I agree with Rony Abovitz that there should be no joy in watching Eason Jordan's downfall. But there is certainly great, unadulterated satisfaction in seeing the collective efforts of the blogosphere--citizens and professional journalists among them--produce the one thing the MSM has for too long escaped in its walled-off world: accountability.
