I'll leave it others to draw their own verdicts, but here's mine: Whether with malice aforethought or not, Mr. Jordan made a defamatory innuendo. Defamatory innuendo--rather than outright allegation--is the vehicle of mainstream media bias. Had Mr. Jordan's innuendo gone unchallenged, it would have served as further proof to the Davos elite of the depths of American perfidy. Mr. Jordan deserves some credit for retracting the substance of his remark, and some forgiveness for trying to weasel his way out of a bad situation of his own making. Whether CNN wants its news division led by a man who can't be trusted to sit on a panel and field softball questions is another matter.
the issue in a nutshell
He deserves NO CREDIT.....he has made the same remarks in two different speechs...he really believes what he is saying......and no climbing back off the limb....AFTER he has been called on the comments will change the fact.....HE REALLY BELIEVES THEM.
I think that nutshell deliberately misses the real issues.
