From a Nexis search a few moments ago:
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.
The MSM totally ignored this issue. I suspect it’s because many of them say the same things in private...
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.
