At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, during a discussion on media and democracy, Mr. Jordan apparently told the audience that "he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by U.S. troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted," according to a report on the forum's Web site (www.forumblog.org). The account was corroborated by the Wall Street Journal and National Review Online, although no transcript of the discussion has surfaced. Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Christopher Dodd were also present, but calls to their offices were not returned in time for publication.
Found this at World Net Daily, but for the most part the MSM is still trying to make this simply go away...
The WA Times asks the question: If the CPJ information is wrong, however, we'd like to see the evidence from Mr. Jordan. Otherwise, how can CNN justify keeping on staff someone who maligns our troops with rumor and innuendo?
I realize that Ted Turner is no longer head of CNN, but his ideals...his morals...his bizarre behavior...all have had a pervasive influence on what CNN is today...how it operates...what benchmarks are used...
Turner recently called Fox a propaganda tool of the Bush administration and indirectly compared Fox News Channel's popularity to Adolf Hitler's popular election to run Germany before World War II...
In November 2001 Turner said it was Cuban "commie dictator" Fidel Castro who inspired him to broadcast CNN into other countries around the world...
so...getting back to the original question...how can CNN justify keeping on staff someone who maligns our troops with rumor and innuendo? .... perhaps in their minds they don't see a problem...Jordan's comments and accusations may just fit within the parameters of what is 'normal' within the CNN universe...
