LATE-NIGHT EASON JORDAN DEVELOPMENTS TKS [jim geraghty reporting] [02/07 11:15 PM] Howard Kurtz did a story on Eason Jordan. Good. Kurtz recieved a lot of flak over the past 24 hours for not writing about Jordan so far. I don't understand why he didn't take a question about this on his online Q&A session today. Even a short answer - "I'm still working on the story" - would have gone a long way to refute the theory that he was avoiding the topic to protect his CNN gig. Anyway, if Kurtz feels like I was too critical, then I feel a little bad about that. According to his his comment to Kaus, he urged two other Post reporters to look into it (good! Avoiding conflict of interest!) and those reporters... "decided not to write anything based on the fact that what was actually said was in dispute." What? What?!? The dispute is a big part of the story. The folks in the room say Jordan accused U.S. troops of deliberately targeting journalists, and now Jordan is denying he said it. (Or perhaps denying that he meant it.) Since when to journalists give up on a story because their sources contradict each other? Isn't that an incentive to try to get that video released? Meanwhile, Instapundit reports that Eason Jordan was a hot topic on tonight's "Kudlow and Kramer" and has video. instapundit.com UPDATE: Here is Kurtz's story. I'm a little disappointed this is running in the Style section instead of the front news section... washingtonpost.com Oh. He quoted me. Well, it's nice to know he's reading, although I'd rather cover the news than be the news. I also notice that at the end of the story, the Post notes that Howard Kurtz has a show on CNN. Good disclosure. nationalreview.com
