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 a freakin’ socialist crybaby.
“Wahwahboohoo nobody likes me.”
That’s RIGHT!
People wanted you to quit
b/c
YOU’RE A SOCIALIST
& THIS IS AMERICA
NOT CUBA
YOU IDIOT.
Exactly! The SRM's ubiquitous explanation today is preposterous on its face. To take their logic at face value: if the criticism of Jones was based on nothing more than unfiltered, slanderous lies from a bunch of worthless sewer-dwelling right wing online nuts, why in heaven's name would he "resign"? The deadstream media hadn't even covered Jones' ignominious history at all. Most American's hadn't even heard of him until today because the dinosaur networks chose to sweep the controversy under the rug entirely as per their usual protocol of devoted service to this administration.
Which in turn begs the question: why would the most powerful man in the world Barack Obama even consider accepting the "resignation" of one of his own friends & appointees who'd been allegedly victimized by an unwarranted attack by the fringe right wing as they are all now claiming? Would this President cave in immediately, submissively raise the white flag and demand his Vice president resign the minute someone else, say the North Koreans, started to throw around 'baseless' allegations about him too?
Do these kool-aid swilling fools on MTP have any idea how ridiculous they sound? In their effort to minimize Jones' patently bigoted & extremist ideology, they're actually making their messaiah Barack Obama look like a paintywaisted wimp who does the bidding of an alleged small band of right wing internet thugs the minute they say 'boo'! Is that nuts or what?
“Tom Brokaw says (journalists) “have to test information.”
So Tom, why don’t you practice journalism and point to one thing that was said about Van Jones that wasn’t factual? Or are you simply buying at face value the Democratic line that Jones didn’t know what he was signing when he was on that organizing committee?
Tom, not everybody is a gullible as you apparently are.
Why would the inventor of the Internet, Al Gore, a so called staunch and fervent “Democrat”,..........permit it to be a “open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information” aginst the very Democrats who are now caling it a “sewer”?
Al wouldn’t let that happen would he?
Hey, Welcome to the “Sewer”.....
You won’t see any of these sewer rats from the MSM apologizing for their vicious attacks on Sarah Palin.
“the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information.”
Perhaps the MSM can tell us exactly what news in this internet “sewer” is in error or consists of lies and exagerations about Jones and his supporters in the office of POTUS.
It DID die with Tim Russert. The show in its place appeases liberals but is nothing remotely close to the show Tim so professionally and fairly presented to viewers. It may bear the same name, but is not remotely in any way the same quality of news show, nor does it aspire to be.
Whereas the MSM is treated, filtered information. Which is why the internet is cleaning their clocks!
I remember Russert as being just as bad as the others.
You mean like you vetted Obama?
Amen, Amen, and Amen!
They mean uncensored information, they don't like that!
All those idiots in the state-run media wish for the return of the big 3 in news. It will never happen. Their days of controlling what is said and when it is said are over. People don’t buy into their BS anymore — alas they are P’sd Off!
Meet the Press and NYT both ignored this whole discussion, but he was still forced out. It looks to me like the mainstream media are approaching irrelevance. Finally!
The sewer originated from Brokaw’s mouth.
