Eason Jordan, the CNN executive infamous for passing Saddam’s propaganda as straight news in order to keep their Baghdad offices open, has now accused US troops of murdering journalists. He has no evidence. He is probably almost certainly wrong. He will be believed by those who hate America anyway, and the story will be widely printed in the Arab/Muslim world. In the end, this will do great harm to our long-term effort to democratize the Middle East, given that part of that effort is to show the Arab/Muslim populations that they can have better governance and don’t have to put up with arbitrary and capricious exercise of government power.
CNN, the slimiest name in journalism.
A similar charge was basically made in Control Room, but I don’t know whether it was true or not.
Precisely the reason I havent watched network news for over 10 years. The condition of going Satellite TV was based upon whether or not they offered the Fox News Channel. People like Eason are pure unadulterated slime and fortunately free thinking people are finally catching on. He should be fired immediately!
