Bump and congratulations to all these bloggers. . .

[JesseJane]

Hmmm... let's add that to my post #20... That is strange to me too.

The blogs does a job again.

Eason Gate

...there's something very wrong about journos and power brokers attending huge "off the record" gatherings.

What if the DAVOS tape reveals what ELSE was said, aside from Jordan's comments?

We have to press on for the tape.

Cnn is blatantly anti-military. You'd think they would have been tought a lesson after their b.s. Tailwind stories.

Just for fun I went to CNN.com to see how they covered this. Posted at 10:14 pm est, last night, is this:

And do note, it's posted under "entertainment"

[kittymyrib]

The liberal congressmen there would never have uttered a peep about their CNN co-conpirator if Mr. Arbovitz had not stood up and challeged Jordan. That tells you everything you need to know about libs protecting each other.

"We have to press on for the tape".

Thank you Jane. Toggle over to the Adventures of Chester.com for more thouhtful commentary on why Jane is right on.

[JesseJane]

Yes, and after Easons own revelations of the stories he hid about the brutality in Iraq. But that didn't really seem to phase him in the least did it?

Placing tin-foil in place, maybe CNN's 'job' is to discredit the military, and CBS's 'job' is to take out the President, NBC's 'job' is to ___________. Leftie Bloggers job is to take out non-lefty bloggers. Is there a pattern to organized dismantling here?

[JesseJane]

Oooh...that was interesting, thanks for the tip!

[Carolinamom]

Thanks for the ENTERTAINMENT link. It is NOT amusing, however, that Jordan denies saying what he did say. Notice that in his non-apology apology that he now says that our military "accidently" killed journalists. Another LIE about his original LIE.

"I'm going to have to rethink my opinion of Barney Frank after this. He did the right thing in this situation when it would have been easy to just fake a lapse of memory or attention."

Unfortunately I see it as more strategic. . .post this election and the Demrats need to appear more 'center' and certainly more 'pro-America/Military and 'apple pie' as well.

Frank did do the 'right thing'; and that is good. I would offer that his motivations for doing might be a thoughtful consideration; rather than an 'gut response'. I can give him the benefit of the doubt; but no more than that.

The Demrats are determined in their 'collective' efforts to appear pro America/Military and 'apple pie' . . .but whatever the case; we can all appreciate his response.

My comments last evening in a earlier FR post in regards to Eason's reason for leaving..."So as not to tarnish CNN's reputation...."

Damn! I leave for a few hours and all hell breaks loose! Jordan resigns and I missed it. Damn the bad luck. The dirty bastard should have been fired years ago for protecting Sadaam! As for CNN getting tarnished, if it were tarnished it would be brighter than it is now.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Salute!

Next?!!

Because they think Freepers don't exist in EU.

Fine, but didn't this go much, much too easily? The millionaire neocommuists in the anti-American msm almost NEVER quit. Rather didn't quit and people like Eveans and Clift and Fat Old Helen are still spewing poison.

The left wing media has long exagerated facts making it hard to tell the differnce between the front page of the NYT and a Garafolo rant or a McAuliffe blather. But, doesn't this just make them less easy to spot? Don't get me wrong, anything that moves the msm to being even a little honest is good. But, the msm is so irrelevant now why bother.

The guy on MSNBC would covers story highlights (yeah, he's a real leftie, but he is watchable) called the folks who demanded honesty from Eason, "healots." Now, let's see where Eason winds up before we count this as a victory for journalistic integrity (gaaaaaag! Yes, but it is a concept they use!).
