Eason Jordan Resigns

I've not gotten into the Eason Jordan affair as it has been covered by much better bloggers than me. Jordan, while talking at a forum in Davos, Switzerland made comments to the effect that the US military targets reporters. The NY Post can take it from there:

Only one panelist, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) challenged him, causing Jordan to start backtracking to retract what he'd said.
There's no transcript of the remarks, but a video does exist which Davos forum sponsors won't release.
Jordan's remarks triggered a widespread attack by more than 400 bloggers, led by a Miami businessman Rony Abovitz, who heard Jordan's comments firsthand. The bloggers demanded CNN fire Jordan.

Kudos to Barney Frank for challenging him and his absurd remarks. For remarks from all over the Blogosphere, click here and scroll.

Bloggers are a force to be reckoned with. From Trent Lott and Howell Raines to Dan Rather and Eason Jordan, you can't escape the myriad tentacles that the blogging community has out there.

Update: Soon to join the world's great secret organizations that includes the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, the Masons and Jews; I introduce the Blogger Cabal. This secret organization led by Charles Johnson and Glenn Reynolds (it's a rotating presidency) will select members of the media who intentionally lie, suppress stories or are just plain irritating people for blogger targeting. The evil right-wing minions then write posts and constantly link to each others stories about the target. When asked to comment on the validity of conspiracy claims, President Johnson said "BWAHAAAHAA" and Supreme Leader Reynolds exclaimed "HEH".
