My intent isn't to pop our balloons, but, actually, this time, credit is due the blogger, Rony Abovitz, who attended the gathering/stood up and asked Eason to confirm his accusations and posted his account online and to those others who kept the heat on....Michelle Malkin wrote about the full episode here (and no FReepers were mentioned as having anything to do with Eason's demise)....unless Rony Abovitz is a FReeper, of course:

EASONGATE: A RETROSPECTIVE (Standout Bloggers On The Story!!)

All in all, I think it's a great accomplishment that FReepers and bloggers are having the combined effect of taking out the MSM, one by one.

I think there is one MSMer, in particular that has lost a lot of credibility - Howard Kurtz.

Kurtz, a center-left fact-checker and writer of things MSM, did a very poor job in covering this story. Perhaps because he also worked for CNN, but also perhaps becuase the media protects its own.

But given the fact that a guy in Kurtz' position failed to cover this story adequately, and did so almost sheepishly, means to me at least, he needs to seek work doing something else.

Call it collateral damage.

All credit to RA. He stood up to power.
