good riddance, Eason

So, that liar Eason Jordan finally stepped down (story here). Given his colorful history of baseless insults against the military, it's about time. It's nice to see someone in the media actually take some small amount of responsibility for their words. (Hello Dan Rather, are you listening?) Although I kinda suspect he took the fall so his fellow media leftards could continue marching, not to mention the nice buy-out that was surely involved. But I can't see it changing anything in those circles. The legacy media is infested with ideologues like that who will stop at nothing to promote their pet causes, and it shouldn't be hard for the Communist News Network to replace Eason with another choice liberal. And the slanted news coverage, if we can even call it that much, will continue unabated.

Any fool who is still watching CNN for news--all five of them--will not care that the network's news chief was forced out by a controversy he couldn't control. In fact, plenty probably see him as some sort of martyr who took the fall for speaking the truth. So will CNN lose viewers or drop in the ratings? I doubt it. And will the behavior of other top execs and talking heads change? I doubt that even more. Well, okay, they might try harder to keep up the facade of fairness. Oh, and they'll certainly hate those pesky bloggers even more. Damn those basement hacks who keep exposing the truth!
