Top CNN exec resigning over Davos remarks By Carolyn Pritchard CBS MarketWatch Last Updated: 6:40 PM ET Feb 11, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CNN's top news executive, Eason Jordan, said Friday he's resigning amid controversy over his assertion that journalists were targeted and killed by coaltion forces in Iraq. "After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," he said in a note to CNN staff. CNN is a unit of Time Warner (TWX: News, Quote) .

A lot of freeper victories don't ever get publicized. A correction issued in the paper, a link removed from a website, a reporter chastized by the editor. It's a battle on many, many, many fronts, and we're winning more of them.

Yeah, I think we need someone to count coup. What have been the victories in the major and minor skirmishes....

Poor leftists: everytime they think they've won,
we keep teaching them how to lose.

That's what I was saying, we're way ahead on the head count for getting rid of bad media people. And, we didn't have to make death threats to them and their families the way the left does.

Let's SEE THE TAPE NOW!

This means the tape will never see the light of day.

Yup, Jeff Gannon has been widely trashed in the MSM for nothing, but the Eason Jordan case hasn't even been touched by any of the MSM.... I'd rather that Jordan had been forced to resign when he admitted in the NY Times that CNN had been Saddam's willing propagandist for many years in order to preserve 'access' but at least he finally gets nailed for trashing our troops....only problem is that he'll probably quickly slide into a cushy position at a prominent school of journalism and then pop back into network news at some point. His pals will see that he's well taken care of.........

So far it's typical Matthews. Although Chris is talking about the "Hardball War Counci"? What the heck is this?

Maybe he just wanted to be available to work with Dan Rather on 60 Minutes II?

Hugh Hewitt is talking about Easongate with a guest right now, not knowing that he's resigned. He's been sick for the last few days, and now he's broadcasting from a bar, apparently without web access.

Conflicting accounts? Hey Eason, there's a tape. Why don't you demand it be released to "unconflict" the issue?

Or are you as cowardly as John Kerry when it comes to Form 180????

Libearls are all of the same stipe - a yellow one.

Blogisphere - 2, MSM - 0

At least. Don't forget "Christmas in Cambodia" was discovered by a blogger, Kerry Haters. I'm sure there's more.

But there's no question that the Washington Post and the New York Times flat lied about NCPAC's posts on FR. Flat lied about what they said and who said it.

You sound shocked....

nothing on Drudge yet

Drudge is a has-been. All that his site is good for is irritating pop-up ads.
