Now this is the kind of story that Howard Kurtz could have written, had he taken any time at all to do some basic research.
In fact, Kurtz could have done an even better job than this, considering that he had access to Eason Jordan – something no one else appears to have.
Excellent job of hitting the basic facts (though the “on the record” controversy and the videotape didn’t quite get in there) and at least giving us a taste of the public-relations effect the comments had on members of the audience.
Kudos to Roderick Boyd who, according to his byline, is a mere “Staff Reporter”.
How many other stories do you believe he had on his plate when he was given this assignment?
