If it was a fight it would have been called right after the Rathergate fiasco.
Bovine excrement! It was videotaped, but Jordan is blocking its release.
Ok. Eason is history. Why isn't any one after Barney Frank too. He repeated eason's comment as his own. Not enough K-Y?
The bloggers merely publicized a false and irresponsible comment that caused Jordan's demise. The MSM acts as though the blog created it.
No! Barney Frank is the one who CHALLENGED Eason, in front of everyone else at Davos. If Frank hadn't said anything, we would never have found out about Eason's comment. Barney Frank is one of the heroes in this.
Hotmilitarystud.com?
How come I never hear of these websites!?
Come on. He has to be pulling our leg! NO ONE is that f*****g stupid!

Are you sure about that? The reports that I've read indicated that both he and Chris Dodd attacked Jordan over his comments. Did I miss something?
It's not that I want to stand up for either one of those two but I would like to keep things straight (pardon the pun) in my own mind.
I dont think the majority of reporters has anything to fear until their liberal bias starts turning their stories into fantasy . Easson was lying thru his teeth and got caught.
No he isn't. He wanted to see evidence of it so he could get a congressional investigation together. He is just as bad.
How bout them Vols?
Whatever his motives, Frank challenged Jordan in public.
so corrected.
He didn't challenge him....he wanted to see the proof so he could investigate. He was salivating thinking he had the military in his sights. Don't give him good guy status where none is deserved.
" With an estimated 8 million blogs in the US last year and 32 million readers "
Added to the members and lurkers of conservative forums like FR and the millions of listeners to talk radio, there are an enormous amount of people who get their news from the ascendant media .
But, are not allowed any representation at WH briefings and Presidential press conferences.
Imagine a press conference where people from Rush Limbaugh to Jim Robinson to DFU to Sean Hannity to Hugh Hewitt to Howlin to Laura Ingraham and reps from Captain's Quarters and Power Line and on and on and on were allowed to ask intelligent, insightful and thought provoking questions of elected officials- in one forum.
I still don't understand why this WH does not conduct separate press briefings with the ascendant media-even on an experimental basis.
It could even be a teleconference type situation where a bunch of citizen journalists were allowed to take turns asking the President and/or McClellan questions.
What is the WH afraid of ?
That Terry Moran and John Roberts and David Gregory might stop their nightly puff pieces on the President and his policies ? ( sarcasm off )
If there is evidence that US forces deliberately murdered journos, we should have a friggin' congressional investigation, it would be a tremendous outrage. Our armed forces are not a bunch of savage murderers.
Here's what Michelle Malkin wrote:
Just got off the phone with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who spoke with me about Easongate. Rep. Frank was on the panel at Davos.Frank stood up for our military in Davos, when he didn't have to.Rep. Frank said Eason Jordan did assert that there was deliberate targeting of journalists by the U.S. military. After Jordan made the statement, Rep. Frank said he immediately "expressed deep skepticism." Jordan backed off (slightly)
You just don't like him because he's a gay liberal Democrat, fine, you don't have to like him, but give credit where it's due.
I get the feeling he could take a bullet for President Bush and you would just accuse him of trying to hog the limelight.
