Like Dan Rather before him, CNN's Eason Jordan has discovered he no longer controls the horizontal and the vertical.
UPDATE:
Now having lots of free time on his hands, Eason Jordan is considering authoring a book on bloggers:
Eason Jordan resigned from CNN tonight, saying he hoped to avoid further "tarnishing" CNN's reputation by his presence there.
He says he plans to spend "more time with his family." He also says he's considering co-authoring a book with former NYT Editor-in-Chief Howell Raines and departing CBS News achorman Dan Rather. The book is tentatively titled, Bloggers: Why Do They Hate Us?, and will explore the "root causes" of the blogosphere's disatisfaction with, and rage against, the Western media.
"Hopefully, our book will be a sensitive exploration of the differences that separate bloggers and the legtimate professional media," Mr. Jordan said. "We intend to explore these issues with the characteristic objectivity we're famous for. Our take is that bloggers don't like us because they're all stupid and jealous right-wing mouth-breathers and troglodytic wack-a-doos, but that's just a working premise at this point. We're open to other theories, like that they're simply all mid-functional retards."
