The businessman who posted the first account of what he heard Jordan say at Davos had started a brushfire.
*****
In a room full of journalists, it was a businessman who said Hey, Eason, what the h do you mean? /paraphrase
Part of the stink of what Jordan said was that he appeared to think that it was common knowledge - among his journalist circle it probably was.
The guy was on Fox last night and he came back from Davos Switzerland and wrote an article about what happened on the internet because he was so amazed at what Jordan said. It was on the internet that this was spread so quickly. Otherwise, would the OLD MEDIA even have reported it? My guess is no.
