Chris Matthews: What Eason Jordan story?

From the National Review's "TKS," formerly "The Kerry Spot" column:

EASON JORDAN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, HUGH HEWITT, AND INFORMATION NETWORKS [02/07 09:54 AM]

Hugh Hewitt was on the Chris Matthews Show on Sunday. During the “tell me something I don’t know,” section of the show, Hugh brought up the Eason Jordan comments:

CM: Hugh?
HH: Senior CNN News Executive Eason Jordan at Davos last week accused the American military of targeting journalists and killing 12 of them, repeating the same assertion that he had made earlier in Portugal a month — that American military had tortured journalists. This has become a huge story on the internet and the new media, it broke through in The Washington Times on Friday, it will break in the major media over the weekend —

CM: He blames US officials for trying to kill Americans?

HH: American military targeted 12 journalists and killed them. Big story next week.

CM: I think you've beaten the band, Hugh.


Fascinatingly, from this exchange it seems clear that Chris Matthews hasn’t heard anything about this story.
