The Power Line is relaying an Associated Press report of the resignation of Eason Jordan. It reads, in part:
Jordan said he was quitting to avoid CNN being "unfairly tarnished" by the controversy.This isn't true, of course, but let it pass for now.
"I never meant to imply U.S. forces acted with ill intent when U.S. forces accidentally killed journalists, and I apologize to anyone who thought I said or believed otherwise," Jordan said in a memo to fellow staff members at CNN.
Power Line notes that "The AP can't resist getting this part of the story wrong":
But the damage had been done, compounded by the fact that no transcript of his actual remarks has turned up.Absolute nonsense. Power Line continues:
Actually, of course, the videotape "turned up," but the Davos folks decided to keep it under wraps, apparently in an effort to help Jordan. Jordan's problem wasn't confusion about what he said; his problem was CNN's inability to create confusion about what he said.There are multiple witnesses to Jordan's slanders, including Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd. These slanders were recorded in an open venue. Why won't the anti-American assholes who run the World Economic Forum stand up like men and admit it?
