Legacy media are circling the wagons around CNN's Eason Jordan. Michelle Malkin has a great round up of legacy media's defense of Jordan; complete with email address and phone numbers to complain.
As noted below, CNN officials are still in full-blown spin mode regarding the events that led to Eason Jordan's resignation. They aren't the only ones. Check out this attack on bloggers by Bertrand Pecquerie (bpecquerie@wan.asso.fr), the Director of the World Editors Forum, the organization for editors within the World Association of Newspapers (WAN):
Sad conclusion in the Eason Jordan affair (see below the New York Times article), sad day for the freedom of expression in America and sad day again for the future of blogging: the defense of the US army honor seemed more important to some bloggers than the defense of reporters' work (and sometimes life)! Nevertheless, there is one advantage in this story: masks are fallen! Within the honest community of bloggers, some of them claimed to be the "sons of the First Amendment", they just were the sons of Senator McCarthy.
Bullshit!
Email them and complain.
