but I must admit I was surprised at how fast he resigned after his latest comment.

Here, too. I was amazed. He must have had no support from his food chain at all. I think he is more a victim of the ratings than anything else. This was a good excuse.

Jordan just had too many strikes against him.

He makes Kaplan look like the paragon of journalistic virtue, by comparison.

I think he resigned because there was MORE than just this one comment. I bet this one ity bitty comment was just the tip of the iceberg. I bet the new reality is that all MSM types percieve a bullseye on all their past comments.

I bet the suits asked him what else was out there first, THEN he was asked to fall on his sword.

Probably fallout from the Rather/CBS story. Many people lined up with Dan feeling he was invincible and they got hung out to dry. I bet from now on anytime someone gets caught like Eason and Rather it is over quickly with a quiet resignation. The money men don't like bad press.
