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.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Eason down the road.

"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?

[mewzilla]

Note to CNN: TOO LATE.

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

[laredo44]

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?

 Eason's Fables-- the sordid Jordan Story

 

[Brilliant]

One down, millions to go.

[Probus]

And... to think years ago I used this network for my only news source. Hasta La Vista!

Buh-bye, scumbag!

""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 . . .)

[Tribune7]

Another one bites the dust :-)

[Fenris6]

Now thats its over, how will the MSM introduce the Eason Jordon story to its readers/viewers? Pretend it never happened?

Sure, keep using that playbook. The bloggers will be writing your obits.

[SkymanOH]

Smile..

[Redbob]

Couldna happened to a nicer guy!

Got caught spreading the same sort of falsehood and innuendo that his network broadcasts daily.

[KwasiOwusu]

""Jordan said in a memo to fellow staffers yesterday that he was resigning to keep CNN from being unfairly tarnished." "


"unfairly tarnished" nothing!
CNN has no reputation left to get tarnished.
It all went out the window when this same Eason Jordan admitted to covering up Saddam Hussein's horrendous, genocidal crimes against humanity, so CNN could be allowed to stay on in Baghdad.
We haven't even talked about the nasty anti-Bush campaign carried out by CNN and the massiveanti-Republican bias displayed by CNN over the past 15 years at east.

[Emmett McCarthy]

In reading about this elsewhere, I was struck by the fact that they seemed to be saying that Jordan was resigning because of "the controversy" over his remarks, not because he's a treasonous liar. On the one hand, it makes it sound as if the poor guy's been hounded out of his job by the reckless rabble, but on the other hand maybe it acknowledges that this kind of stuff's been going on among the "news folks" for a long time, but now they're getting caught at it.
