THE INTERVIEW OF LIES
http://www.wnyc.org/onthemedia/transcripts_102502_jordan.html BOB GARFIELD: Let's say there's an -- a second Gulf War. Is that the
mother of all stories? Do you have to be there? Are there-- decisions
you'll make on the margins to be s-- as certain as you possibly can
that you will have a presence there?
EASON JORDAN: We'd very much like to be there if there's a second
war; but-- we are not going to make journalistic compromises in an
effort to make that happen, being mindful that in wartime there is
censorship on all sides, and we're prepared to deal with a certain
amount of censorship as long as it's not-- extreme, ridiculous
censorship where -- which we've actually seen a number of cases in
previous conflicts -- not just with Iraq. But-- sure! We want to be
there, but it's --we don't want to be there come hell or high water. We
want to be there if we can be there and operate as a responsible
news organization.
