And this astounding revelation from Franklin Foer on OpinionJournal this morning. CNN was not only staying silent but asserting the accuracy of its coverage. I think Eason Jordan could be looking at a rather short continuation of his tenure at CNN. OpinionJournal - WATCHING THE NEWS

For a long time, CNN denied that its coverage skimped on truth. While I researched a story on CNN's Iraq coverage for the New Republic last October, Mr. Jordan told me flatly that his network gave "a full picture of the regime." In our conversation, he challenged me to find instances of CNN neglecting stories about Saddam's horrors. If only I'd had his Times op-ed!
