"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.

Now Ramesh has added: "That's what I'm hearing." I've never known this guy to make stuff up, so this looks promising.

[MediaMole]

Heading to the Poynter Institute, no doubt.

[Drango]

[dennisw]

[sonofatpatcher2]

Must have felt the red dot on his face... (/bullhockey)

[anniegetyourgun]

MSM will take credit for Gannon.

[mplsconservative]

Hugh Hewitt's broadcasting live from the Twin Cities today.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

[Mo1]

Oh My .. busy newsweek

[Petronski]

Whoa

[Oldexpat]

It used to be said that you didn't get into arguments with people who bought ink by the barrel, but the Blog is turning into a great equalizer.
Now these guys with ink by the barrel better start being accurate..or they will just drown in their own ink..

[Drango]

Breaking Hard....Eason Jordan will replace Dan Rather and Rather is replacing Eason.

[BCrago66]

I don't need no stinkin' confirmation!

Seriously, I don't know. But I'd imagine that a serious NRO writer wouldn't post something he didn't have some degree of confidence in.

[missyme]

THat is truly nasty and not cool

[Enlightiator]

If this report holds up, the tape of his speech must REALLY be damning. I wan't to see or at least here it...and I bet we will soon.

[SwinneySwitch]

If the U.S. military really set out to "target" journalists in Iraq, there wouldn't be any friggin' journalists in that country.
