I read opinionjournal twice a day, every day, without fail. It is the first thing I look at in the morning, and Best of the Web Today is absolutely indispensible.

I've read plenty of articles that I disagreed with, and their tub-thumping over immigration (and btw, I completely shared their views until that fateful day back in 2001) has reached near hysteria lately. And Peggy Noonan had a little petit mal a couple of weeks ago.

But I gotta say, I don't get this piece at all. It's the strangest thing I've ever read on that page. I just don't understand the venomous tone he takes towards those who have critized Jordon, the dismissive attitude towards Jordon's really greivous breaches of news ethics, and yet he basically agrees that Jordon is out of line.

This is not right vs left or conservative vs liberal or even about media bias. This is old vs. new. This is big vs little. And the WSJ is both very old and very big. Eason Jordan may not be quite WSJ material, but is from the same world. EJ is much closer to WSJ than Easongate.com or CaptainsQuartersblog.com will ever be.
