Wanna know the MSM excuse for not covering the Czar story regarding Van Jones? Because they felt it was a waste of their time. Here is NBC's Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd:

Well, isn't that special. ACORN is just an "obsession" and Van Jones is just a waste of time.

And they wonder why their reputation is down the tank.

Meanwhile the GOP is starting to take notice and asking how in the world we have 30 something Czars that undermine our Constitution:

Kay Bailey Hutchinson explains further on how these positions undermine our Constitution:

So what do these czars do? Do they advise the president? Or do they impose the administration’s agenda on the heads of federal agencies and offices who have been vetted and confirmed by the Senate? Unfortunately — and in direct contravention of the Framers’ intentions — virtually no one can say with certainty what these individuals do or what limits are placed on their authority. We don’t know if they are influencing or implementing policy. We don’t know if they possess philosophical views or political affiliations that are inappropriate or overreaching in the context of their work.

Subscribing to their publications, watching their broadcasts, and purchasing goods from companies that advertise on their networks IS A WASTE OF TIME!!!

KBH:"We don’t know if they are influencing or implementing policy. We don’t know if they possess philosophical views or political affiliations that are inappropriate or overreaching in the context of their work."

So, cut off their funding and slash the budgets to less than Zer0.

>>> ACORN is just an “obsession” and Van Jones is just a waste of time. <<<

This is what they really say to each other in the company town that is Washington DC.

Being a “partisan” in DC is so gauche and unsophisticated.

You’ll never get ahead inside the Beltway for expressing such awkward and socially-inept thoughts.

They suck money from the federal coffers.

This administration is looking like that Richard Pryor movie where he had to get rid of a millions dollars in a few days in order to inherit a fortune.

looking.... found it

The American MSM sooooooo in the tank for Obama, that they make
a living off of books about him, alter the "news" for him,
ignore child slavery and importation of minors across all state lines for him,
coverup of attacks on white voters, and hate crimes rampant across the US for him,
even as some (Jim Lehrer) incite violence against defenseless, elderly, patriotic
Americans who have since been shot, beaten and eaten.

Anchorman Charlie Gibson was on Don and Roma - WLS-AM Chicago - when asked why the Drive-By media was not reporting the ACORN prostitution story, he says he never heard of it. When asked about the Tea Party in Wash DC, he laughed, changed the subject and discussed sailing in Maine. A complete buffoon, but typical of the state-controlled media.
