It will be a while before anybody in the media goes to press again with documents that haven't been properly vetted. There's nothing wrong with that, and if it took Dan Rather's scalp to make it happen, it was a good trade. Same thing here. Jordan didn't come by his opinions on the military yesterday. His reporters knew his views, even if we didn't. That has been coloring CNN's coverage of the war. The American people do not need some McGovernite skewing the news coverage from the war zone. Better we know; and that he leave. |
I can see how this stuff could get out of hand, but a couple of public hangings now and then are a good thing. They help keep everybody honest.
