Here's the article from the New York
Post discussing Eason Jordan's resignation from CNN.
I think Mr. Jordan didn't realize in today's world of the public Internet, anything said anywhere in the world will get reported at lightning-fast speeds, with equally lightning-fast consequences.

"We have not concluded that U.S. forces have deliberately targeted journalists," Campagna said. "But we remain very concerned about whether U.S. forces are adequately working to insure that journalists who are civilians are not harmed in areas of conflict." Here come the lawsuits. Families of killed journalists suing the military for inadequate protection against harm - in a war zone. sheesh.

Alright, if CNN is the 'world leader' in news as they claim, does this mean that CBS will follow suit and their Mr. Big will resign in shame? Or do y'all think he'd Rather not?

Now, if he'd claimed that bloggers were ruining the careers of sleazy journalists, I'd say he was right.

"The red-faced news chief of CNN, Eason Jordan, resigned yesterday after making outrageous claims that American troops deliberately tracked down and killed certain journalists in Iraq.",SOOOOO schweet

OK, here are the questions.
1. How long will this prevaricator remain unemployed?
2. Which liberal news outlet will pick him up, or will he just be put on staff by the Democratic National Committee?

Yeah, that's what we want. Instead of fighting to free Iraq or even watching the backs of their comrades, our troops first priority should be to protect the press - who, by the way, seem to hold our troops in nothing but contempt!

Hey, but give then props for making it happen. So far no heads are rolling at CBS at all. Rather was "due to retire" remember, so it's not like that's a punishment.
Now we need to wait and see if he has another deal somewhere else in the biz.
Yes, you are right, it should have happened immediately, but these people (MSM) are shell-shocked right now. They are just discovering the power of our "enlightenment" from the net. They can'rt believe that there are rea; "fact-checkers" out here now.

Sounds a little too much like, "we have concluded that the documents may not be completely accurate, but we stand by what they say". (paraphased)

""We have not concluded that U.S. forces have deliberately targeted journalists," Campagna said. "But we remain very concerned about whether U.S. forces are adequately working to insure that journalists who are civilians are not harmed in areas of conflict." "
What arrogance!
What a bloody cheek!
Hey Campagna, journalists are not special creatures.
If anything, most journalists are stark raving, American-hating, loony left scum.
Journalists will die in conflict areas same as other human beings die in conflict areas, like hundreds of journalists died in WWII.
That has ALWAYS been the case.
Thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians have died in the past few months alone, and most of them are better human beings than these journalists.
Why should journalists be any different?
Its not the responsibility of the US Armed Forces to protect a bunch of terrorist loving journalists who go out of their way to fraternize with Iraqi terrorists.
When journalists strike out on their own, they can and do get blown apart by the terrorists.
They gotta take responsibilities for their own deaths.
I am far, far more concerned about the death of even ONE American soldier, than about some smirking, arrogant, condescending scum from CNN, ABC, CBS or NBC being killed.
I couldn't give 2 hoots about that.

"Jordan said in a memo to fellow staffers yesterday that he was resigning to keep CNN from being unfairly tarnished."
You think the CNN execs pressured him to resign to take the heat off of their own backs? Getting pretty warm out there for the mainstream liberal media.

>Eason Jordan's resignation from CNN
But CNN stays!
This is the great evil with
"corporate" entities --
If an employee
does something good then the firm
gets all the credit.
If an employee
does soemthing bad then the schmuck
gets thrown to the wolves.
Corporations have
this catch-22 that means
they can do no wrong!
(And ominously
there's no legal reason firms
can't live forever . . .)
