If you were to receive all your news from any one of these outlets, or even all of them together, and you heard about some sort of controversy involving President Obama's Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, your response would be, "Huh?"

If you heard that that adviser, Van Jones, had apologized for a number of remarks and positions in the recent past, your response would be, "What?"

And if you were in the Obama White House monitoring the Jones situation, you would be hoping that the news organizations listed above continue to hold the line -- otherwise, Jones, who is quite well thought of in Obama circles, would be history.

This is the guy who was supposed to be in charge of the HUGE movement to create MILLIONS of new green jobs.

His job was arguably one of the THE MOST IMPORTANT in this administration. And he called himself a communist. And now has to resign.

And nary a word from the MSM.

Despicable.

Historic moment. A man close to the president, a man with $30 billion of taxpayer money in his hot little hands to dole out as he and Obama saw fit is forced out of office because the public is outraged by him and there is no mention of any problem in the mainstream media before it happens.

This shows you what a propaganda arm these agencies are. They gave Bush almost literal hell over issues like National Guard service as a young man 30 years prior, even defending forged documents.

The government made a big mistake when it decided to pick a fight with the American people.

So again a major story hits, is wildly discussed and argued and then fades away without 80% of America ever knowing that it took place.

That’s the sickening part of all this.

I agree. We have not yet begun to fight! America isn’t going down easy even if 50% of us have to drag the lazy other 50% kicking and screaming into the fight.

If they mention it at all, they will find the most innocuous event in all of his radical history, and make it sound as if that ONE tiny thing made the intolerant, racist VRWC get him fired.

Yup...starting to see it tonight. He had to resign because of what he called Republicans.

The curious thing is how the big news folks come up on Sunday and suddenly mention that Van Jones is gone and try to explain why they didn’t detail anything for almost seven days now. I doubt that the explanation and clip take more than 30 seconds...and they just march on.

“I agree. We have not yet begun to fight! America isn’t going down easy even if 50% of us have to drag the lazy other 50% kicking and screaming into the fight.”

More and more people are waking up because 0bama is hitting in them in the pocket book. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t understand until it hits them in the wallet and it gets personal for them.

That is why it is very crucial to persuade the fools to wake up on a personal level that they can relate to.

I love that photo.

Just had some fun researching it on the internet. Looks like the sailor has been identified. That nurse sure looks like a cutie.

NY Times has a story on Jones’ resignation on its web page. And yes, I had the required eye scrubbing and family intervention after I left the website.

I agree.

I'm hearing more and more people starting to complain about what is going on. People who normally never said anything about politics. Most are saying they have a bad feeling about what is happening to their country. The 'RATs overplayed their hand this time.

Without Fox News & the Internet we would never have known about any of this! What kind of "news" organization absolutely IGNORES something like this?! You can bet if it was a Republican it would be run 24/7 and front page news!

I hate the MEDIA!

Doesn’t that make him an idiot for resigning?

I mean, WHERE’S THE PROBLEM Houston?

Does this mean it was those awful people in their pajamas who found the commie in the white house?

I wonder if the pajama people will find out that Obama is not a natural born citizen next!
