Late Thursday news came that CNN's Executive Editor, Eason Jordan had resigned. As the bloggesphere celebrates it's latest victory, many more questions arise from the story.
Do the combined resignation/terminations of CNN's Jordan, The New York Times' Howell Raines and CBS's Dan Rather point to a change in the way the MSM will cover the news?
Yes and no. They may change the way report the news, meaning they will be mindful to stay away from certain language and extremist terms to describe republican policies and republicans in general. The problem is, they will have the bias they always carried, they will just get better at camouflaging it.
It reminds me of the discussion going on inside the Democratic party. It is in fact the other side of the same coin. As the Democrats try to find ways to change the language they use when they discuss values and morality, the MSM will try the same tactic. Change the language, keep the mindset.
Will it work? If I were a betting man, I would give two to one that it will not.
The only way for the MSM, the Democratic party, Academia, and Hollywood to get back to the center of this nation is by using the one ideal they champion but never employ, diversity.
Where is the conservative viewpoint at CNN? Sure, you can say the Robert Novack is conservative. He is also outnumbered by 30 or so. Where are the pro-life Democrats at their convention? There are none. Where are the conservative professors or campus movements? They are shouted down and shunned. Where are the pro-life, moral, and religious movies coming out of Hollywood? Mel Gibson had to bankroll The Passion to get it made.
There is only one viewpoint coming out of these institutions, the left's viewpoint.
Eason Jordan should apply at Fox News for his own show, he could be like Gerraldo.
They might give him one.
