Drudge scooped again!

Nothing on his front page on this.

I don't think Drudge ever linked to this story. He was MIA on this story. It was multiple blogs that did the damage. The blogs don't need Drudge to push a real story anymore.

Here's a bit of what Ollie North said:

February 10, 2005

"...at least ten journalists have been killed by the U.S. military, and according to reports I believe to be true, journalists have been arrested and tortured by U.S. forces."
- Eason Jordan, CNN Executive Vice President

Washington, D.C. - Eason Jordan is described by CNN as the network's "chief news executive" and the person who provides "strategic advice to CNN's senior management team." In November, he offered the above murderous assessment of America's military to a group of Portuguese journalists and got away with it. On January 27, he apparently made a nearly identical outrageous, unfounded accusation at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This time he got caught - not by his colleagues in the so-called mainstream media - but by "bloggers" who were in attendance.

Ironically, Mr. Jordan, who also chairs the CNN Editorial Board, made his most recent unsupported allegation of American military war crimes during a panel discussion titled "Will Democracy Survive the News?" The short answer to the rhetorical question is: "not if Democracy has to depend on people like Mr. Jordan to report the news."
