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) .

Thanks for the feedback on Chris Cramer
If Chris Cramer is the replacement, he will be even worse.

Great documentation of the sleaze that CNN puts out and calls it news.

Hi Mo! Eason come, Eason Go. Watching the Democraps self destruct warms my heart. Talk about "chickens" coming home to roost!
To: GOPrincess
Coming on the heels of Howell Raines and Rathergate, this resignation certainly does confirm that a new day has dawned for the MSM... I think the MSM and the Hollywood Left no longer understand what the public Internet has done in regards to speed of news dissemination. Think about it: within hours the 60 Minutes II story about President Bush's Texas Air National Guard service was totally debunked; the showed that much of Senator Kerry's stories about his Vietnam experience was fiction; it severely damaged the reputation of several entertainment stars (read: Dixie Chicks); and now, it ended the career of Eason Jordan at CNN.
In many ways, it is also the penultimate trimph of de-massification of the media, as writer Alvin Toffler predicted 26 years ago in his book The Third Wave.

RATHER Gone. JORDAN Gone.
Unfortunately, dealing with the MSM is like working in a sewage treatment plant. Just when you think you've gotten rid of the two biggest turds clogging up the works along comes a truckload of even bigger ones. Your work is never done.
Just a thought....Why would these MSM losers think there is any possible reason our military would want to target "journalists", unless those "journalists" were actually aiding the enemy?

And I was released after 27 hours into the hands of the Metropolitan Police in London and two days later into a dreadful bunch of terrorists called the SAS, who were probably worse than the terrorists inside the Iranian embassy. Chris Cramer sounds even more radical than Jordan Eason. Good call CNN. Just keep losing that market share and wondering why.

Just a thought....Why would these MSM losers think there is any possible reason our military would want to target "journalists", unless those "journalists" were actually aiding the enemy? Because the Left isn't capable of seeing the military as anything other than bloodthirsty killers with boners for murder.

Even Barney Frank and Chris Dodd couldn't stand the smell of what this guy said.

After watching FoxNews all morning I just now heard about Jordan leaving Communist News Network on a bottom of the hour news break. I haven't heard anything but that 30 sec. little bip.
