CNN cofounder Reese Schonfeld weighed in on the Eason Jordan scandal on the Fox News Channel today. “Eason Jordan can’t keep his mouth shut,” Schonfeld said on Fox & Friends, but “he didn’t do anything that was that awful, except — we’ve got to stop picking on our own people, the journalists. Eason Jordan was trying to defend the lives of journalists in Iraq, and we are taking a lot of hits.” I like this excerpt from Johnny Dollar’s instant transcript:

SCHONFELD: No, that’s what is reported. |
