Main Stream Media Drops Ball Again*

Fresh from the Dan Rather-CBS scandal airing forged documents, The MSM
(Main Stream Media) seems to have dropped the ball again. The head of international news at CNN, Eason Jordan, was at an international gathering where he "asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times, which seemed to win favor in parts of the audience (the anti-US crowd)." He said this at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The MSM in the U.S. never reported it. The new media, in particular, the internet web loggers picked up on Jordan's remark and researched Jordan's previous statements. What has emerged is a pattern of slandering the U.S. Military on the part of this man. When he was asked to provide proof of the statements that he made, he could show no proof or documentation for such charges. Jordan has resigned his position. CNN did not want to be dragged down by this man's anti-U.S. agenda.
