This is a surprise.

As Hugh Hewitt correctly observes, the issue was not just his remarks but the cover-up which continues to this day. The tape should still be released so that the truth can be known once and for all. Mr. Jordan should still apologize for his remarks.

Perhaps the MSM would do well to learn the lessons of Watergate. It was not the break-ins that brought down the Nixon presidency, it was the cover-up. If not for the dogged reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the world would never have known what really happened.

The lesson for the MSM to learn is that they are now being held accountable by average citizen journalists. Maybe they'll report the truth for a change. If not, the bloggers will still be around to get the truth out. That's a healthy development indeed.
