-The Access of Evil-- CNN's Duplicity --
Jordan has a long history of deception.
I think there's a padded room with this nutcake's name on it.
Sweet..........
CNN still having this nutball on it's payroll, just shows their base of their idelogical bent(i.e wacko leftist).
This Butthead and Dan Rather are just the two sores that are getting the attention. The whole media is covered with lepers and their sores.

Eason Jordan Updates
According to Sisyphean Musings, the World Economic Forum will not release their recording of the discussion in which Eason Jordan accused the US military of deliberately targeting journalists.
Jim Geraghty has a lot of interesting stuff on the story today, including a well-done rebuttal of another muddle-headed piece by Jude Nagurney Camwellwho employs the shopworn disingenuous technique of cherry-picking an extreme-sounding comment from one reader (out of thousands of comments daily) in order to smear LGF.
Howard Kurtz, who has a professional association with CNN, weighs in with a noncommittal piece that comes off as a weak semi-defense of Eason Jordan: Eason Jordan, Quote, Unquote.
And with that, I suspect mainstream media is hoping this annoying controversy will now fade quietly away. But the issue of CNNs appalling bias is going to keep coming up, because (as Ive written several times before), the problem goes much deeper than Eason Jordan. At the same News Xchange conference in Portugal where Jordan told the audience that journalists had been tortured by the US military, another CNN executive, Chris Cramer, said that journalists were being deliberately targeted for seeking out the truth.
UPDATE at 2/8/05 3:27:52 pm:
By the way, Id like to publicly offer to host the video or audio of the Eason Jordan discussion in Davos, if anyone reading this happens to have a copy.

Eason Jordan's tale of the tape--
Worst case: Jordan said things he knew were probably false, in order to curry favor with influential people from countries that -- as CNN's American audience falls -- represent an important part of its market.
