EASON JORDAN JUST RESIGNED
Top CNN exec resigning over Davos remarks By Carolyn Pritchard CBS MarketWatch Last Updated: 6:40 PM ET Feb 11, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- CNN's top news executive, Eason Jordan, said Friday he's resigning amid controversy over his assertion that journalists were targeted and killed by coaltion forces in Iraq. "After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," he said in a note to CNN staff. CNN is a unit of Time Warner (TWX: News, Quote) .

Linky poo. I couldn't find the thread.
Maybe we should take turns and cut it back to where it belongs?
I'm not sure about that unless it can be proven that MD4BUSH is a reporter for the WaPo. I doubt that Gannon's "outing" is going to blowback on the MSM. He's not weighty enough to rally the troops....
They all take a course in J-school on the appropriate use of kneepads. They have to get a marketable skill somewhere...
You're right .. Hugh did nail it
And if I recall .. Chrissy turned as pale as his hair after Hugh mentioned that
Just as I thought. Matthews goes to the body count in Iraq to lead off the show.
Will effort some "rumblings" from CNN newsies
They probably don't believe it because NRO is the source.
It seems real...see posts 60 and 67.
I agree with others...if this is true (which it appears to be) the tape must be damning, indeed.
Hooaahh
Chrissy should be in a spitting fury.
I agree..The MSM were all over Jeff Gannon but Eason Jordan was handled like delicate china...It is heating up.
RELEASE THE TAPE!
I just turned him off so you can stay on if you wish.
People like Eason Jordan are shameless. He never would have resigned unless he was pushed. The money guys probably looked at their bottom line, looked at what happened to CBS when they stonewalled on Rather, and decided it was time to throw him off the back of the sleigh.
As for Gannon and NCPAC, I don't think those games are over yet. Neither of them did anything wrong. The media lied their heads off about both of them. I think they will both be back in due course, and the MSM will get yet another black eye or two.
Hmmm..., he just went from a nobody to a somebody....
Don't become too happy yet. He likely has a job somewhere else like ABC, CBS or NBC. Wait and watch.
There was too much coordination between MD4Bush's posts of the freepmail with NCPAC and the WashPost article. Pretty smelly, unethical stuff.
I doubt that Gannon's "outing" is going to blowback on the MSM. He's not weighty enough to rally the troops....
It was a very interesting study in how a smear gets converted into MSM truth. I've got a couple of targets I'm working over who participated. We'll see where this goes.
A lot of freeper victories don't ever get publicized. A correction issued in the paper, a link removed from a website, a reporter chastized by the editor. It's a battle on many, many, many fronts, and we're winning more of them.
He'll probably go to MSNBC as a media expert.
