CNN Tries to Apply a Tourniquet

Just received through our contact form, with a return address of public.information@turner.com, and a referral from Hugh Hewitt’s site (where he posted a list of blogs covering the Eason Jordan story):

Many blogs have taken Mr. Jordan’s remarks out of context. Eason Jordan does not believe the U.S. military is trying to kill journalists. Mr. Jordan simply pointed out the facts: While the majority of journalists killed in Iraq have been slain at the hands of insurgents, the Pentagon has also noted that the U.S. military on occasion has killed people who turned out to be journalists. The Pentagon has apologized for those actions.

Mr. Jordan was responding to an assertion by Cong. Frank that all 63 journalist victims had been the result of “collateral damage.”

UPDATE at 2/2/05 4:12:17 pm:

They must have assigned someone to go down the list at Hugh’s site and send out this form letter to every blogger on it.
