The blogosphere has bagged another crooked big-shot journalist:
CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan quit Friday amidst a furor over remarks he made in Switzerland last month about journalists killed by the U.S. military in Iraq. Jordan said he was quitting to avoid CNN being "unfairly tarnished" by the controversy. During a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum last month, Jordan said he believed that several journalists who were killed by coalition forces in Iraq had been targeted.Throughout the debacle, neither Jordan nor World Economic Forum officials released a transcript or audiotape of Jordan's comments. No matter. Witnesses reported his remarks, and Jordan tried to weasel out of his predicament, to no avail.
