I recently submitted the following story idea to CNN via their online story idea submission page:
The blogosphere has once again surfaced a story that MSM sources such as CNN cannot afford to ignore.
At the Davos conference, CNN news chief Eason Jordan recently made remarks of an inflammatory nature regarding the U.S. military. According to eye-witnesses of the event, he accused the U.S. military of deliberately killing journalists.
Subsequently, Mr. Jordan has said that he did not make these remarks and that he was misunderstood, however eye-witnesses continue to differ, offering more detailed accounts of what was said.
Bloggers have subsequently unearthed a string of similarly inflammatory and apparently baseless remarks previously made by Mr. Jordan, casting doubt on his recent disclaimer.
CNN now owes the public a full accounting of the matter. The conference was, according to eye-witnesses, videotaped. This videotape should be produced, allowing all to see for themselves what Mr. Jordan said.
If Mr. Jordan did make the remarks attributed to him, he needs to either produce evidence substantiating them or be fired. If he did not make the remarks, showing the videotape will clear CNN of a very damaging blow to its already tattered credibility.
Failure to address this matter in a head-on manner will inevitably result in the same kind of damage to CNN that CBS recently experienced when it stonewalled for almost two weeks at the onset of the Rathergate scandal.
If CNN values its reputation, it must come clean on this matter.

Excellent! It is driving the MSM nuts that they are now held accountable for their actions. Which of course they see as bad but will actually strengthen the MSM over time.
