The Van Jones (non) feeding frenzy [NBC, ABC, CBS - Van Jones Who?]
Washington Examiner ^ | 9-4-09 | Byron York

Posted on 09/05/2009 10:09:40 PM PDT by joinedafterattack

From a Nexis search a few moments ago[9-5-09]:

Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the New York Times: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the Washington Post: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on NBC Nightly News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on ABC World News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on CBS Evening News: 0.

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.

CNN doesn't have ONE WORD about this on their web site...This is proof they don't have any real journalists on their staff and are 100% behind Obama.

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...

They never met a West Wing Marxist they couldn't forget about 30 seconds later.

Saul Alinsky, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, John Holdren, Van Jones...There's a pattern.

Going to Google News, there were only 45 articles nationwide that mentioned Jones in all of August, 33 in July.

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.

Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the New York Times: 0.

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.
