I think the MSM is running scared. Despite the blogging hawks, the MSM should stand its ground when they are truthful in reporting and pure in motive. However if political bias on the left or right purposefully distorts the facts, that's wrong and those who do it should be called to account.
Editorial opinion is valid. Lying or failing to truthfully report facts, including the omission of facts in reporting cannot be tolerated within the ethics of journalism.
However, bloggers may choose not to subscribe to these ethics and that's a problem.
Abovitz was right to ask Easton for evidence to back up his assertions.
"It was a businessman attending the forum in Davos who put Mr. Jordan's comments on the map with a Jan. 28 posting. Rony Abovitz, 34, of Hollywood, Fla., the co-founder of a medical technology company, was invited to Davos and was asked to write for the forum's first-ever blog, his first blogging effort. In an interview yesterday, he said that he had challenged Mr. Jordan's assertion that the United States was taking aim at journalists and asked for evidence."
