Blog critics still don't understand...

Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive, resigned this year after a blogmob attacked him for a reported statement at the World Economic Forum at Davos that the military had aimed at journalists in Iraq and killed 12 of them. Their complaint was even more basic than in Mr. Rather's case: they were upset that Mr. Jordan said something they believed to be untrue.

BELIEVED to be untrue? How about NOT true? How about - if indeed untrue - slanderous and traitorous? The man didn't even stand up for "the truth" afterwards - he just quit! Paula Abdul has more cojones than Eason Jordan.
