Be sure to stay tuned to Kaus for all the latest on CNN exec Eason Jordan's accusing U.S. troops of murdering journalists and the MSM's failure to cover it seriously. Shades of the Swift Boats story here - if it hinders, not advances, the mindset of the NYT, it's not newsworthy.
The usual suspects like Instapundit have also been covering this nicely (you can find 'em all on the left bar), but Kaus has grabbed the most important angle of the story, which is not what Jordan said but how little curiosity media commentators, starting with Howie Kurtz, have shown for finding out. We knew that Jordan was an airhead already. We didn't know how willing his supposed competitors would be to give him a pass. Forget about ownership, the media has been consolidated by mindset for at least thirty or forty years.
