Here is video of NBC's "Meet The Press" talking about the internet and bloggers and the effect it had on Van Jones' resignation. One of the panelists said "the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information." (Watch Video)

What is not surprising at all about the DBM/dems is how they can be somewhat smart but so unbelievably foolish at the same time.

Tom Brokaw says (journalists) "have to test information."
Like your buddy Dan Rather did on the Bush TANG story, Tom ?

[yongin]

Van Jones is a:

1) Flake
2) Extremist
3) Sideshow
4) QUITTER

The MSM has morphed from a liberal bias, to complete shills for the left, to advocates of suppression of press views they don’t agree with. If Obama declared a trumped up national emergency; suspended the bill of rights; imprisoned political opponents; and shut down Fox News and conservative talk radio. . . the ABCCBSNBC/NYTimes/WaPost media shills would cheer the One for taking tough measures to save the country.

"Open sewer," or "fountain of America's Founders' ideas"--guess it's all in what your world view is.

The TEA Partiers and Town Hallers seem to have been using the Internet for refreshing their minds on the "ideas of liberty" and understand that expansion of government's coercive power by elected and unelected officials in Washington is not what the Founders had in mind.

The fact that Mark Levin's "Tyranny and Liberty" is high on the bestseller list for so long is another indication that ordinary American citizens are reading and using web sites where their founding documents and the Founders' writings are enlightening their minds.

This smells like a “Cyber Emergency”! Quick shut down the internets...

[vpintheak]

What a bunch of smarmy SOB’s! We American are too dumb to know how to find the truth. Only the smart talking heads on my TV or in the NY Times are smart enough and informed enough to be able to tell me what to think! I fart in their general direction!

The days of “uncle walter” and “honest dan” are long gone !!

"One of the panelists said "the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information."

This statement perfectly tells what is wrong with the "main stream media". They no longer control the news and information people get, and they are just hating it!

[Sprite518]

They are pissed off because they no longer control the debate. Moreover, the truth has a ring to it. If someone is full of it, then they will eventually lose the majority of followers. Thus, this is why NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, etc are losing numbers fast because they make flat out lies like in this video.

If what people said about Van Jones is so wrong. Let’s challenge them point by point and then let the people decide. Van Jones was on tape multiple times. How they (media/papers) can say this is not true is beyond me?

Bottom line. These people in the media and press for the most part (as displayed on this panel) are control freaks. They want to control your life because they are elitist. They believe they are smarter than anyone else, and want to force you to do things that you do not want to do. It’s because they are Psychos, Atheist and Perverts. Liberalism/Socialism/Communism is a mental disorder.

Glenn asked the questions about Jones that MTP and their gaggle wouldn’t ask about Obama during the election.

Aside from FNC, not one news outlet referred to Jones as a self avowed Communist.

[Dallas59]

NBC....Lol

[Hildy]

That’s absurd.the guy who organized the petition said he personally spoke to everyone on the list to make sure they knew what they were signing. My gosh, at least have the courage of your conviction, even if they are really loony.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

There was nothing but spin everywhere this morning but Fox News. You should expect that by now. The MSM is a willing socialist propaganda arm of the radical communists trying to “change” our free nation.

I have to admit, the MSM is making their bias very obvious now. Anybody who cant see the bias in the media is wilfully blind, which is probably accounts for 40% of this nation.

[3catsanadog]

I suppose then that the videos of Jones calling Republicans a$$holes was misinformation. That his signature on the Truthers' petition was misinformation.

What exactly was put out there that was unfiltered lies and misinformation about Van Jones? Hmmmmm?

[BornToBeAmerican]

NBC - Narcotic Blatant Communists

[Intolerant in NJ]

One of the panelists said "the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information."...???? - the only information used against Mr. Jones was video of his own malignant, hate-filled speech - most of the MSM are echoes of highly treated, heavily filtered propaganda.....

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Don’t you know spin when you see it? This isn’t about truth. This is the same as Bill Clinton being caught perjuring himself and obstructing justice, and the MSM saying “this is just about sex, it is only between him and his wife”.

For 20 years, the MSM has been a direct propaganda arm of the Socialist Democrats and provide spin and cover for every sin of the left. You aren’t used to that by now?

We have the best weapon against it in years - the internet and conservative radio.

[popdonnelly]

If Meet the Press won’t report facts, it has no business posing as “news”.

[meyer]

Seems as though NBC doesn't like free speech - when others exercise it.

Funny how they go on a rant against the internet and bloggers, but completely ignore the hard, factual evidence against Van Jones. They're so fake that it isn't even funny. And some people actually believe them.
