"CNN Jordon should be called before a congressional committee, now." To what effect? CNN broke no laws.
A gross breach of professional ethics? Yes.
An egregious abdication of Constitutional responsibility? Yes.
A pathetic exercise in gutless appeasement? Yes.
But CNN isn't licensed by or responsible to Congress. They exist at the pleasure of the market. Let the market punish them.
Severely!

Well, dear, CEOs of the tobacco industry were summoned before Congress for lessor offences.
And it was not public outrage that made them pay the price.

Knowing a murder/assassination is going happen and not do anything about it, isn't a crime? That's news to me. He knew that the son-in-law's were going to be killed...or did I miss something? Also, they all get licensed by the FCC. The public owns the airwaves...not CNN.
