Bloggers? He Don't Need No Stinkin' Bloggers

Pejman Yousefzadeh on the blogosphere and the Jordan Affair:
Bloggers neither "lynched" Jordan nor prevented him from a fair hearing in which he could have cleared his name and cleared up the situation surrounding him. It is certainly possible for any individual or group of individuals to abuse whatever power they have access to, and the Blogosphere is not immune from this danger. But there is scant evidence at best to suggest that bloggers abused their power when it came to EasonGate. Bloggers did not cause the downfall of Eason Jordan. Eason Jordan did that all by himself.
Read the whole thing.
Incidentally, the always-excellent Tech Central Station is celebrating its fifth anniversary today. In internet years, that makes it as old as... uh, me, I think.
Well I must say I agree with you on this one. The Left is really acting pretty silly about this whole thing.
The so-called Lynch Squad is supposedly "denying journalists freedom of speech". What a joke. OTOH, Jordan was absolutely correct in everything he said, so his getting fired over saying something true is pretty absurd.
So, what did Jordan say? Please state.
Just like JFK and his cowardice in Nam. To clear your name if in fact you have been wronged JUST RELEASE THE RECORDS/TAPE.
About Tech Central Station: An internet year is equivalent to 7 dog years... boy, they've outgrown me
