Hugh's comments on how unimformed Matthews and the rest of the MSM is in contrast to how informed the blogoshpere is:
Matthews hadn't heard of the Eason Jordan story, which meant he hadn't been reading the blogs the previous three days, as they had been debating the Jordan charges since Tuesday, February 1. Jim Geraghty was the first of the big bloggers to point to Rony Abovitz's account of the Jordan remarks, posted from Davos on January 28. I broadcast the same day on the subject, and there have probably been a thousand blog posts on the matter in the week and a half since. The folks paying attention are spread out across the political spectrum, from Jay Rosen, Jeff Jarvis, and Mickey Kaus on the left to all the usual suspects on the right, where Michelle Malkin and LaShawn Barber merit special recognition for pushing the story forward.
But on Friday, when we taped the Matthews show, Chris didn't know anything about it, and apparently neither did Howard Fineman, nor Katrina Vanden Heuvel, nor Sam Donaldson. But the story was still somewhat young.
At this point the Eason Jorndan incident is all over the internet. When is this guy going to be held accountable for his outrageos statements (Click any one of the links above to find out about the Jordan Flap. Make sure you check out Slublog as well.)? The main stream media once again shows itself to be a thing of the past.
