Easongate, Here I Come…

Who would’ve thought one short week ago that the blogosphere would be buzzing over a CNN executive and his dumb remarks? The power of the blog. Other journalists, stay-at-home mothers, lawyers, professors, students, the self-employed and unemployed are blowing down Mainstream Media’s stacked deck house-of-cards. It’s stunning.

At least for the duration of Easongate, I’ll be doing double duty, blogging with the boys (and girl) over at Easongate.com.

But for tonight, I’m staying away from this computer. ;)

While I’m gone, read the background posts on Eason Jordan. My first Jordan post was last Wednesday. I had no idea this thing would grow as it has.

I keep forgetting to tell you this. I’ve named my business, but I won’t announce it until the web site is ready to go live because the name is the URL and the site’s not ready yet. :)

Update (Thursday, February 10): Read Hugh Hewitt’s latest article, The Blogs Beat the Bigs Again. Also see two new Eason Jordan articles: Miami Herald (registration req.) interviews Jordan and blogger/writer James Lileks writes in The Sun Herald. Also see my post at Easongate.com.

I will update this post with the latest information, so be sure to trackback. I’ll include your link in the post. Blogs on Easongate: The Sundries Shack, Captain’s Quarters, Basil’s Blog

The Wall Street Journal published a story today about Jordan and mentions a couple of blogs. If you have a subscription to the paper, I’d appreciate it if you’d e-mail the text. Ed blogs about it.

Michelle Malkin says the steam is building on Easongate. More from Hinderaker.

Important Note: Notice how quickly MSM has picked up on the conservative-reporter-is-a-phony story. More from Evangelical Outpost.

Update II (12:36 p.m.): A conservative blogger takes issue with Jim Geraghty’s post.

This is new. Democratic senator Chris Dodd, who heard Jordan’s slanderous statements, is calling for the videotape released. More about this from JustOneMinute.

Update III: Regarding the Wall Street Journal article written by Bret Stephens, who criticized bloggers caught up in the Jordan scandal, has ethical issues of his own, according to Dinocrat.com. (Hat tip: Captain’s Quarters)
