Oh My .. busy newsweek
Whoa
It used to be said that you didn't get into arguments with people who bought ink by the barrel, but the Blog is turning into a great equalizer.
Now these guys with ink by the barrel better start being accurate..or they will just drown in their own ink..
Breaking Hard....Eason Jordan will replace Dan Rather and Rather is replacing Eason.
I don't need no stinkin' confirmation!
Seriously, I don't know. But I'd imagine that a serious NRO writer wouldn't post something he didn't have some degree of confidence in.
THat is truly nasty and not cool
If this report holds up, the tape of his speech must REALLY be damning. I wan't to see or at least here it...and I bet we will soon.
If the U.S. military really set out to "target" journalists in Iraq, there wouldn't be any friggin' journalists in that country.
SCHADENFREUDE
Michael Jordan quit basketball!!??
Whoa!
Good one. Either that or the Columbia Journalism review.
I can't find anything confirming this using Google on Eason Jordan yet.
Someone pushed him out.
Another one bites the dust.
Link for background?
Wow...Simply Amazing
Awww, shucks.... I don't mean nuthin'!
