EASON JORDAN JUST RESIGNED

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) .

Koffi, Churchill, Gregoire...So many targets, so little time. LOL!

Add Lisa Artison, elections supervisor in Milwaukee and Dean Logan, elections supervisor in Seattle.

All these people must feel like their little empire is crumbling around them....and I'm enjoying every moment of it!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I plan to tune it for it!

Wonder how Alan will play it ....from the Left?

[BlessedByLiberty]

If Jordan were exonerated would be the lead on every Old Media outlet for weeks. I think we should demand video of all Davos speeches.

We are supposed to believe that big names meet, give speeches, form symposiums, form a consensus of opinion and yet no one takes notes, minutes, audio or videotapes anything? How can they claim a consensus on anything without evidence?

When you have Doddering Dodd, Gergen Gerbil and Barney wanna Frank agreeing that something outlandish was said, it was said.

[ken5050]

Well, aren't you ENTERTAINED?

DU response located here.

Here's a rundown of the post headings:

CNN chief resigns over Davos remarks
Were the 12 journos killed by our troops or not?
That question will never be answered
In other words, CNN is going to Suck Worse.
Did he let the cat out of the bag and was suppose to be quite instead ?
Quiet, dagnabit,, not quite.
Thanks, I didn't understand the comment
run out by the bushites for TELLING THE TRUTH......
eason was one of the few
Yeah, so good that he ignored torture to keep CNN's Saddam access
Your funny...
DVD Control Room - suggested Arab reporters were targeted.
Control Room is a great movie
The White House wanted this
Did his remarks make major waves or something???
No, But Ultimately His Remarks Suggest War Crimes
If this is what he believes, then he shouldn't back down.
No........his remarks, by his own admission were taken
Whew, really glad I'm not the only 'TV-free' one around here!
he sent me a snarky ass email when the future Mrs. ex limbaugh
Good for you!
Family of Spanish Journalist Killed by U.S. Forces in Baghdad Accuses U.S.
CNN being "unfairly tarnished"

Will the Pentagon Target Journalists in Iraq?
CNN is trying to be FOX
How dare Jordan Eason
Too bad Manthrax doesn't have any morals
you have GOT to be kidding me: TARNISHING CNN? how? by saying the truth?
What was the name of the Captain of the Titanic?

[Soul Seeker]

I suspect you are right. I doubt Rush is going to let them sweep Gannon to the curb. Too bad he's been gone all week.

[Txsleuth]

According to the article you just posted, the group in Davos said that there would be no video or transcipt of lecturce because it "was off the record"---

How could it be "off the record" when they showed Clinton's whole interview on the News Channels? So, it is only off the record when it is someone that says something that gets him in trouble?

[TheForceOfOne]

He's playing "left field" tonight, he will scream the ball was in foul ground, Sean will tell him it hooked around the foul pole for a home run! lol

[ken5050]

Tou don't have to take it that far. Hypothetically, let's give the WEC the benefit of the doubt on their supposed privacy doctrine. If Jordan had indeed been misquoted by others who were there..the natural thing is for him to ask the WEC to release the tape. The fact that this didn't happen is prima facie proof of guilt..

[Bahbah]

Koffi, Churchill, Gregoire

Let it be Annan, who does more damage to human beings than most people we can think of.

[Democracy In Iraq]

Oh, I like this one from DU:

15. Yeah, so good that he ignored torture to keep CNN's Saddam access
That's by his own admission, btw.
Eason lied, and people died. I say good riddance.

All together now: LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!

[Timeout]

Some forums were on, some were off the record.

Journalists who attended said it WAS NOT announced that this was off. It was held in a conference room listed for "on the record" forums. Now they say it was off the record.

It will be interesting to see if the tape gets released now.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks for the link....fiound this little comment:

D'oh. (4.00 / 2)

Jordan just gave the freepers the out they needed. We've been Zephyred.

In their minds, Kos:Armstrong::Jordan:Guckert.

[vrwcagent0498]

Thanks! Now I wonder what happened to those tapes...and how much CNN had to pay out to get rid of them.

[BCrago66]

FoxNews is better than the MSM but sloooowwww......Hannity & Combes isn't covering Eason tonight, or at least no mention of it in the opening lineup.

[OXENinFLA]

LOL CNN posted it under...ENTERTAINMENT

I just tured on LKL, he's talking about GARY CONDIT!!!! Larry has Gary's kids on...............

[OESY]

Statement from Eason Jordan (breaking satire news):

"Reports of my demise at CNN are premature, pending my
reassignment to the field as an embed to test my hypothesis."

[ArmyBratproud]

Great Quote.
