Where Was the State-Run Media on the Van Jones Debacle?
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | Sept. 6, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 09/06/2009 12:21:22 PM PDT by Welshman007

As most of you probably know by now, Communist Van Jones, Barack Obama's new 'green jobs czar,' has resigned. This is as it should be. A self-described Communist has no business serving in the government of the United States in any capacity.

Jones' resignation comes as no surprise to those astute readers of online news sources, blogs, and other alternative media. As more information became known concerning the extremist radical views of Jones, it was only a matter of time before he either resigned or got handed his pink slip.

Yet millions of Americans will be shocked tomorrow when they finally discover in a newspaper or on a TV news program that one of Barack Obama's top advisers has resigned. They may not even know who Van Jones is.

Willfully ignorant, as usual.

No matter. The New Media was on the job.

The Left will go nuts. This was a tremendous defeat for them. We took out one of their guys, a personal adviser to Hussein.

Standby for war against conservative talk radio, FNN.

Mark Lloyd at the FCC will have to fast forward his plans to shut us down. Rather than wait for them it is time for us to take the initiative and bring down the Leftist, radical anti-Americans who lied when they took an oath to support and defend you know what.

One day the media is reporting what a far-right wing hack job this Glen Beck guy is. The next day they are reporting a key Obama advisor is resigning over the controversy from being exposed by Beck.

The communists media will never be honest with Americans. Hate using communists so much, but that is what they promote with lies and distortions to keep King Obama and his corrupt Administration/thugs in control.

Van Jones was typical for the Obama administration, as was his firing - dump the trash in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, and hope no one notices.

We can never have a free country and make intelligent electoral decisions until we get a free press.

Where were they? Covering up for a black racist, communist and arrogant, America hating thug. They’ve had plenty of practice.

Although I’m glad to see one of the czar’s gone, he’ll just be replaced by another crony. I’ll get more excited when I see Geithner, Bernanke, or Larry Summers put to pasture and replaced by someone who will actually investigate where our taxpaying bailout money has been going.

I’ll cheer when I see Congressmen, Union leaders, the people behind Acorn, the directors of the FED, the SEC, and the Goldman Sachs gang investigated and put to trial for fraud.

To me, this is just a side show compared to the bigger fish. The arguments are also misleading. So the man is a Communist. So he is a racist. So he is a conspiracy nut. I don’t care about the man’s beliefs, but instead of his actions. The news should be how he has been involved in fraud, increased statism, or government-run propaganda. If you make it about his personal beliefs, the left will complain that he was set-up and taken down for his theories instead of his crimes.

Bernanke is the bigger criminal and fraud that has put the US taxpayer responsible for the backing of trillions of dollars to his friends. Where are the calls to investigate him? We have a 9.7% U-3 unemployment rate and a U-6 between 18%-21% along with a bankrupt FEC. Why does Geithner still have a job?

MSM will probably have headlines like:

African American advisor to Obama forced to resign after smear campaign.

Lies & smears force green author & czar from whitehouse service

Right wing extremists smear noted green expert from whitehouse service.

Drunken radical at Fox News destroys whitehouse plans for green jobs effort. Top advisor & noted author forced to resign.
