Simply Devastating

Think the bloggers were hard on CBS and CNN? We were pushovers next to Thomas Lipscomb, who has written an article that hits with the force of a bunker-busting bomb in Editor and Publisher (hat tip to the Instapundit). Remember how everyone said that the tape of Davos was simply unavailable? Well...

Not only was there a tape, but CNN admits it never asked for it, as CNN spokeswoman Megan Mahoney has revealed to me. There was no problem with getting a copy of the notorious �off the record� tape from the World Economic Forum. When I asked WEF�s Klaus Schwab whether he would have made a tape available, cut to just Eason Jordan�s remarks, and give [sic] it to Jordan and CNN, he replied: �Of course. And they could make any distribution of it they wished.�

It's well worth the time to read the article in its entirety...
