Kurtz’s Eason Jordan Piece Is Up
Howard Kurtz’s piece on Eason Jordan is up, and can be found here.
To me, it seems to be a reasonably balanced piece — but I have a feeling it will be strongly criticized by those who have been making a cause out of Jordan’s alleged remarks. Given the differing recollections of some of the witnesses, I’d still like to hear the tape, if one is available.
UPDATE: Captain Ed has some damn good questions about Kurtz’s piece. I hadn’t been reading Captain Ed’s blog carefully enough, obviously — but if you read this post closely, and follow all the links, it’s clear that there’s enough there to raise substantial questions about whether Howie K. really did a fair and balanced job.
I still want to see the tape. I still don’t know whether there’s anything there. And I am not encouraged by the possible stonewalling that Sisyphus is facing in getting it.
Howie K.: are you trying to get the tape?
If the US Military is capturing and torturing CNN and Al-Jazeera employees, I’d like to see that. Er, I mean I’d like to see proof of that. (minor slipup there)
