That’s what Bill Press suggested on Reliable Sources:
| “I think Jordan was targeted, because of his connection with CNN. If this had been General James Mattis, who had said this, even inadvertently, nobody would have paid any attention. Eason was targeted, I believe, to get at CNN, and it worked. But I have to tell you, I also think that this would not have been an issue if immediately Eason Jordan had demanded the release of that transcript, got on top of it, and said, this is what I said, I didn’t mean it, I apologize. I think you know what it’s like? Swift boats and John Kerry. He waited too long to act.” |
