Howard Kurtz in "The Mutt That Did Not Bark"



The reviews are in on this pungent thriller!

Roger Simon:
Breaking a curious ten-day silence on the most important recent story on his beat, WaPo media analyst Howard Kurtz has written a carefully crafted, linguistically bland semi-defense of CNN News chief Eason Jordan against charges he accused US troops of "targeting" 12 journalists.
Mickey Kaus:
If you were worrying that WaPo's conflicted Howie Kurtz would bend over backwards to be tough on his own CNN bosses, you can stop now.
But the performance was better than the preview:
I find it unsatisfying. It's almost as bad as my parody.
