Jordan's fall is a big, big deal. The liberal elite can no longer kid themselves that Rather's implosion was a fluke and that only an eccentric, flamboyant liberal in Winter like Rather could get taken down in such a way. With Jordan's desk cleared out, they know now that it was no golden beebee that felled Dan and that any of them could be next.
The clean, consequential kills of the rightwing blogosphere stand in stark contrast to the cheap, little hits that lefty bloggers have scored. Like in talk radio, the Right rules the internet. Kos may get a lot of hits, but the Right's lethal hits on Rather and Eason matter a lot more.
Big media elites are having to adjust to the fact that a Red State professor who teaches law at an SEC football powerhouse is their Daddy-- believe me, they didn't sign on for that.
What's not to love about the new normal? In six months time, a ragtag army of pajama clad bloggers have taken out two MSM whales. David Westin and Jonathan Klein should be very afraid.
