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 shows you what a propaganda arm these agencies are “
I think the media is the number one enemy in this fight, worse than obama or any democrat, and just like the cowardly liberals they would get their butts kicked in an open fight.
We also have enough alternative media outlets to carry the truth now, and mainstream media popularity has never been lower.
If any conservative leaders would like to start this fight now would be a great time. Van Jones would be a perfect example.
I wonder how George Stepho, et al on the Sundays shows will handle this sitch today. I’m quite sure Monica Crowley will not let this slip by today.
Haaaa. ABC news, Channel 7 here in NY has just SCROLLED the Van Jones story across the BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN!!
Is it any surprise that the ratings and circulation of these “media” outlots have been plummetting??
DON’T watch CBS/NBC/ABC. Don’t read NYT and WP. Spread the word!!
OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST!
They're pitiful.

The total media BLACKOUT is THE REAL STORY here! The MSM, errr the SRM will just consider Van Jones a “victim” of “collateral damage” in their ongoing WAR against the American people. Glenn Beck should hammer THEM next.
Before too long, I think it will be revealed that Zer0 & Jones were long-time buddies, IMHO.
The MSM totally ignored this issue. I suspect it’s because many of them say the same things in private...
Treasonous effing media!
Saul Alinsky, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, John Holdren, Van Jones...There's a pattern.
Truly, Van Who? Complete news blackout outside of Fox and a few right-wing periodicals.
CNN and the NY Times finally put up stories two hours ago. I guess they had to spend time deciding what spin to put on it.
Thus the frantic and frenetic attempt to control and shut down all opposition on the airwaves. The leftist notion of free speech is that it’s OK as long as they are the only ones able to exercise it.
LOL! The lamestream media is behind us! Behind FoxNews Channel and Glenn Beck — that’s for sure.
Bravo, Fox. Bravo, Glenn.
...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....

i am not so sure he’s gone. I would be willing to bet that he will still be around bit without any official title.
Thanks for the ping!
That's interesting because when we were checking into our hotel (I'm traveling with The Tea Party Express) the evening that Jones, a self proclaimed convert to radicalizm and communism---it was a jail house conversion after being arrested for rioting during the Rodney King dustup---resigned, the NYT reporter embedded with us told me that Jones had resigned.
They followed the whole controversy but decided not to comment on it until he resigned. Who'd of thunk it?
I did a report on Jones here at FR a couple of weeks ago after doing some research.
WOO HOO! I wasn't sure if you were traveling with the Tea Party Express, Syncro... glad to hear you are! Wow, what a fabulous experience that must be... wish we could go to all the stops, too.
We'll be at the Hartford, CT stop on Friday morning at 10AM. We also plan to be a part of the Washington DC rally as well... hope to see you and JimRob there! :o)
We'll try to make the Bridgeport, CT and Tom's River, NJ stops as well, but I'm not sure yet about those two.
