Where are we going?

I write in response to this at NRO's TKS. It's a good question, one that needs asking even if it doesn't get answered quite yet:

"Are bloggers tracking this story attempting to “professionally crucify” Jordan?"

I wrote a post last week in response to the Godfather's questions about Jordan's testimony. There, I included two questions of my own:

"Aside from "forcing" the resignation of Jordan, what is there to accomplish? Can CNN be shamed into behaving better?"

Jim Gerahty's question and mine both get to the same point as raised by Jay Rosen; why are we doing what we're doing? Earlier today, I responded to a Powerline post via email asking essentially the same question. Assume that all the "blogosphere" fears about Eason Jordan and his motivations proves true? Then what?

Do we want Jordan removed? If so, why? Do we think pushing him out of his position will result in better journalistic behavior on the part of CNN? On the part of other members of the MSM?

I don't think the answers, whatever they be, necessarily mean that the discovery of the truth in this situation ought to stop, or as a result of those answers take another avenue. I do think though that the blogosphere needs to have an idea where they're going as they pursue this rather than simply follow the trail not caring where we all end up.
