Truth topples CNNNN chief

I missed this one but last month at the World Economic Forum in the ritzy ski town of Davos, CNN's news head Eason Jordan said the US was purposely targeting journalists in Iraq - ie, killing them.

The WEF is basically a PR stunt put on by the rich in cooperation with the media. They all turn up to be seen with other rich people and pretend to be doing things to help the developing nations - a euphemism for the exploited peoples that make them rich - and pledge chicken feed and chump change to The Poor.

Anyway, Aljazeera is reporting that Jordan has been forced to resign over the comments.

Speaking to Aljazeera from New York, Dr Fawaaz Jajis, a professor of political science at University of Lawrence said there is little room for voices of dissent in America.

"The United States is in a state of war militarily, and ideologically," Jajis said.

"Unfortunately, it seems that the 'truth' is one of war's victims, as is freedom of the media, journalism and opinion in the United States," he added.
