Jim Geraghty writes that EasonGate isn't another case of (as he quips), "The Pajamahadeen Ride Again". Nor is it another example of trying to prove that media is biased to the left. ("If you don’t believe the media is liberal, then this incident isn’t going to convince you", Geraghty writes.)

Instead, it's a case of conflicting points of view:

We’ve got two dramatically different interpretations here – the account of Rony Abovitz and Rebecca MacKinnon and Barney Frank, and the account of Eason Jordan. (Dodd’s statement appears to confirm Rony & Company but is brief; Gergen mostly confirms Rony but is sympathetic to Jordan; Richard Sambrook’s account is pretty close to Jordan’s.)

These accounts are so contradictory on so many key elements that one has no choice but to conclude one side is dramatically misrepresenting what happened.

The videotape that the Davos authorities are sitting on would solve this issue immediately.

Either Rony, MacKinnon, and Frank are passing on inaccurate accounts that will trash Jordan’s reputation, or Eason Jordan’s denial is a lie.
