Goodbye Eason Jordan

Instapundit wraps up to the Eason Jordan debacle:

I think we know what the video would have shown, now. It wasn't a case of the video not turning up, but of it not being released. I think that Jordan could have quickly defused this by just saying "I screwed up," but -- as with Trent Lott -- he waited days while hiding behind a lame and unpersuasive explanation. He should have read. . . [Hewitt's BLOG] and other people who might be in his position should do the same.

The more the blogosphere looked into Jordan, the more troubled one became with his perspective, and his history of distorted views -- he was running CNN news and presumably gathering like-minded subordinates. It looks like Jordan really believes the assertion that the US Military targets journalists for assassination and torture. Now maybe if I had a traitor's heart such that I see journalism's purpose to be dedicated to the defeat of the US and its military, then I could view that military as the enemy of journalists. Karl Rove calls it the fever swamp. How do these people get executive positions?
