Not too long ago, it would have fizzled out. Howie and his pals would have made sure of it by clamping down hard on it, and smearing anyone who dared to leak any details that might make one of their own look bad. We don't allow them that luxury any more, and they are literally beside themselves about it.
I just love how Kurtz, after denouncing the bloggers for unfairly (in his mind) taking down Jordan, then tries to give some of the credit for it to his buddies at the liberal blogs. His statement that the leftist blogs were after Jordan as well is pure BS - just like their Dinosaur Media soulmates, the liberal blogs tried their best to spike the whole story.
As far as Gergen goes, every time I think I can't gin up any more loathing and contempt for him, he opens his mouth and makes it so easy.
I agree with every word you said; I wonder just how shocked they are at Eason leaving?
I said it before and I'll say it again: this is a fight to the death -- and this "ante" just went up.
Remember when Clinton was in office and we "hated" him so much?
Compared to the way I feel about these people now, being a "Clinton hater" was SOOOOOOOOOO amateurish!
