   It’s one thing to resign… but is he “Taking one for the Team” by doing so? His comments in Davos were not made in seclusion, he has made similar claims in the recent past, as have members of his staff at CNN. If he has resigned because he found out that a large media storm is about to break, then let’s see the storm.

   Accusing the American Military of having a policy to murder reporters is NOT small potatoes… that’s the kind of statement that gets other people killed over there ‘nStuff.

   I didn’t want Eason Jordan to change jobs. I wanted him and his cronies’ dangerous lies exposed to the Light of Truth! And I won’t be satisfied until the Truth is fully laid out to the Public in order that we may make an informed decision, and not one based on rumor…

   For Jordan to resign both CNN and he had to know they were backed into a corner. They couldn’t talk about it on the air denying their abilty to provide cover. Any friendly networks in the US could not provide cover risky the chance that the reports were accurate. Jordan becamse damaged goods and a true lightning rod.
   Since the Davios sessions were taped and yet no transcripts or tapes were produced, neither Jordan or CNN could explain it away. (Maybe the couldn’t!) The blogs, lead by Michele, Captain’s Quarters and Hugh Hewitt would not let this disgrace go away. Once it hit cable and some papers starting last weekend, it became put up ot get out.
   The choice of Friday night after 5:00 - The Sunday talk shows will be all over Howard Dean and are booked. Most talk radio shows will be off until Monday. Drudge didn’t have the nerve to touch this one for some reason.
   Bias is bias but knowing Jordan has a history of this feelings including his comments a few months ago in Portugal, he has no right to run a “NEWS” network.

    Whoever should have fired him two weeks ago should also “resign” now. I won’t hold my breath.

    It would be funny for Jordan now head back home on a plane, and then see a bunch of troops arrive at the airport, at which point the audience applauds just like in that Anheuser-Busch commercial. Then Jordan could see what kind of America he was really up against.

    CNN should hang their heads in shame.

    I don’t think it’s Michele’s desire for Eason’s head on a stick. It’s her stating the OBVIOUS that this was a weaselly way to go - on a Friday, and with scant apologies for WHAT HE SAID, and for avoiding the subject of WHAT HE SAID, and for not releasing the tape of WHAT HE SAID.

    He’s hiding, and slinking away.

    Sure, I’m glad he’s gone, because he’s a WEASEL, but it’s not my desire, either, to see his head on a stick.

    In situations like this, you always have to wonder - did he jump or was he pushed? Did his bosses at Time-Warner see the video tape from Davos and decide; time to cut their losses.

    I disagree. What he said about or troops was unforgivable. It’s rhetoric like that the harmed so many returning soldiers after the Vietnam war. I don’t want the same thing to happen to the honorable men and women serving in Iraq.

    My question is, would you quit your job as a high powered executive if what was being said about you was untrue? Wouldn’t you simply request the tape of your comments be released so you could be exonorated?

    Even if the Davos conference were “off the record” surely they could release the portions of the tape where your comments are made if you so requested.

    So, lets see the tape Mr. Jordan and we’ll decide if your employer is being “unfairly tarnished”.

    Based on the quotes I’ve read, Mr. Jordan is simply lying when he tells us he never meant to say that US troops acted with ill intent. I base this conclusion on the fact that he has said similar things previously. To be accurate, he did intend to say what he is quoted as having said, but he never intended for anyone to call him to account for what he said.

    Yes, it’s good that he finally resigned and he deserves some credit for that. Not much, but some. But does anyone really think this will have any impact on CNN or any of the rest of the leftist media? They’ll just find another like him to lead the charge. I can’t see this saga having any long-term effect. At least we know that plenty of bloggers will continue to expose media thugs like Eason though.

    One more for the Blogosphere. The tape still needs to be released, but this is something. The fact that he would resign says more than the tape possibly could, in my opinion, but it won’t be as covered in the news media without a tape.

    Perhaps Fox and other competing media will jump all over this story. Hopefully this time O’Reilly won’t defend the guy, as he did with Dan Rather.

    Congratulations for all you have done on this. Your 3 interviews were key to this whole story.

    Congratulations are also due to Cap’t Ed and Hugh Hewitt, as well as others, but its clear that your role was key given the attention you got from the Stonewall Journal.

    My guess is that higher-ups at Tiem Warner have seen the tape and realized that he had to go before the tape leaked out.

    If he spoke the truth he would have had the videotape out immediately. There would have been no story and no resignation.

    Why do you suppose he resigned with no defense? He would best defend CNN’s integrity, his own, and slap his idealogical opponents by showing his obvious innocence with a videotape. If only it was truly exculpatory.

    His resignation and actions speak for themselves. He is biassed and a liar. Not the stuff of great, or even barely acceptable, journalism.

    If he ever miraculously demonstrates the opposite, I truly do expect Michelle Malkin to support him.

    Any doubt as to what the tape might show appears to be gone with this announcement. Clearly they were worried. Their first statement was not an unequovical denial, only a “regret if you misinterpreted” kind of statement.

    Surely someone reviewed that video and realized that if (when?) it got out, that it would be as bad or worse than many were saying.

    I have to say it: As much as I disagree with many of Sen. Frank’s policy issues, the guy was a stand up character for going on the record on this. Same to a lesser extent to Dodd. It was very difficult for CNN to call two sitting US Senators “liars” or “incompetents” who didn’t know exactly what they heard, and that is what kept the ball rolling on this.

    To be sure, there wouldn’t have been any major fallout but for the blogosphere, but let’s keep the triumphalism at a minimum, please.

    Resignation with an explanation is not my idea of a defense. This guy would have put up a fight if he had truth on his side. Even if he isn’t feeling well, he would have waited for his, and CNN’s, name to be cleared before resigning. CNN would be running this story if he was innocent.

    Resignation, to me, is retreat and almost tacit acknowledgment of guilt. But by all means, bring on the videotape.

    Aside from being a propaganda machine, which it is, CNN is also a buisness.

    On the one hand they have to keep up appearances of propriety in order to keep advertisers from bailing out on them and also to stop losing viewers.

    On the other hand they have an agenda to promote.
    As a buisness they have been in a steady decline for some time due to their political bias.
    I`ve always thought their priorities were skewed and they just could not or would not see the problems involved in trying to run a propaganda machine in a capitalistic environment.
    Propaganda works great when it`s free and forced on people.
    It doesn`t work very well when it has to compete in a free, competitive and capitalistic society.
    CNN forgot Rule #1 for running a buisness: The bottom line is top priority.
    In the information age, Americans have become more informed and less inclined to believe what they hear without fact checking. CNN is just now realizing this, but I think it`s already too late.

    auguste:

    Even if you accept his rationale for his statement at Davos, how would one explain that, if this story were true, it wasn’t covered by CNN?

    I mean…

    EITHER:
    Jordan is a news man, in which case his “story” about journalists being targets would have been pretty big news. Sitting on that kind of news is antithetical to his mission as a “news man”.

    ergo, he should resign.

    OR:
    It is not a story because there is insufficient evidence, and he goes spouting off unfounded accusations at a public forum about media and democracy, Jordan as a representative as big media, well…

    again, he should resign.

    The only way for this man to salvage any credibility is to ask that the video or transcripts be released.

    We understand that WEF owns the tapes. I have to assume they would have no reason to withhold them if all parties agreed to their release. Even if other object, surely there are editors available to release the relevant portions.

    Of course, if again, Jordan has no evidence (ie: the tapes won’t prove his case), than I can certainly see why he would object to the WEF releasing them.

    He should’ve resigned when he admitted CNN was withholding news from Iraq before the war. Was Jordan in charge when that bogus Peter Arnett/Milk Factory story was made?

    I’m not out for blood on this or the Dan Rather issue.

    However, I am thrillled that MSM no longer has a stranglehold on information dissemination. I don’t like being lied to by a bunch of lazy talking heads and their politically driven bosses.

    Just give me the freaking information, with evidence and all the appropriate qualifiers and source, and let me figure out what I want to believe.

    The best thing that can come from this type of blog activity is that blogs, through sheer competition of information, will force the “reporters” and “journalists” to do their damned jobs for a change.

    By the way, regarding the implications of not releasing the tape. In law where a party fails to adduce evidence that is within the parties control to produce it, an adverse inference is drawn, based on the presumption that a self interested litigant would produce evidence that is favorable to him or her and conversely would withhold evidence that is prejudicial.

    We’re not in a courtroom here, but the same principles apply.

    Even as embattled CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan announced his ‘resignation’ tonight, the ad hoc consortium of unedited writers known as the blogosphere met online to discuss which journalist should be the next to fall.

    Still riding high from its role in the ‘memogate’ firings at CBS and the demise of two editors at the New York Times, the blogosphere took less than two weeks to turn rumors from Davos, Switzerland, into a pink slip for the 23-year veteran of CNN.

    In a brief statement just after the networks’ Friday evening newscasts, Mr. Jordan condemned the “targeting of journalists by bloggers.”

    However, some bloggers contend they have not gone far enough in their attacks on the mainstream media.

    “So far, we’ve just weighted [sic] for some one [sic] to say or do something stupid before we ride them [sic] like a coal car into the ground,” wrote one unnamed blogger. “But now it’s time to get proactive. We’re going to pick the next soon-to-be-former journalist and then force him into some career-ending vortex of deception and denial.”

    Now the American military, freed from this outrageous slander, can go back to “accidentally” bombing the offices of Al Jezeera and firing tank shells into hotels.

    “- How brave of him to hand in his resignation on Friday night.”

    LOL!!! I can’t stop laughing!

    And yes, the tape still should be released.

    P.S.
    Michelle, I heard you this morning on Bill Bennett’s show. You didn’t have your coffee yet did you?

    Nice loving farewell letter from CNN to their boy. *gag* Funny how he uses his tour as an embed to “prove” how he respects the military.
    He wants to spare CNN’s reputation? Too late. They’d have to get rid of most of his “admiring” peers there as well.

    Thank you Michelle, and everyone else who held his feet to the fire. You’ve done a true public service by outing this jerk.

    Innocent men don’t resign.

    Now, will the survivors at CNN be stand-up guys and let us see the video of Jordan’s traitorous remarks?

    (Still waiting.)

    Found this on Jay Rosen’s site…..

    “Mr Jordan; I’d like you to meet my friend The Internet.
    Mr Internet this is Mr Jordan. I’ll leave you to chat for a while. Have fun, and be careful. Internet remembers everything and he’s a real blabbermouth.”

    Heh……

    I do think that the MSM needs to be held accountable, and I do think the Jordan video should be released. I also think, however, that the lynch mob mentality running rampant in the blogosphere is becoming more than a little disturbing. In fact, I would say that it’s rapidly becoming insufferably obnoxious. There’s a little too much thinly-disguised glee, a little too much back-patting and more than enough self-important posturing.

    Did anyone else notice that if you search for “Eason Jordan” on CNN.com, you will find that CNN did in fact post a story about the Jordan comments controversy — at 3:45 PM. They finally addressed the story ONLY SIX AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE JORDAN RESIGNED! Think they were covering their tails so they could say “ha! we DID cover that story!”?
