If you were to receive all your news from any one of these outlets, or even all of them together, and you heard about some sort of controversy involving President Obama's Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, your response would be, "Huh?" If you heard that that adviser, Van Jones, had apologized for a number of remarks and positions in the recent past, your response would be, "What?" And if you were in the Obama White House monitoring the Jones situation, you would be hoping that the news organizations listed above continue to hold the line -- otherwise, Jones, who is quite well thought of in Obama circles, would be history.

No takeover of the news media is necessary. They’re already comrades in arms.
THANK GOD FOR FREE REPUBLIC!!!
I am SHOCKED!
From the voluminous, comprehensive response this story must be a Hugh and Series Manatee!!!
and to think, in this age of ‘transparency’ the NYT would not report!
SHOCKED! I tell you I am SHOCKED!
It will be interesting to see if Jones leaves since the above
sources are NOT covering his story.
Same for our local paper in NC.
And they wonder why they are losing money, to the point that a once robust newspaper now feels about as heavy as a Kleenx.
And is almost as interesting.
Don’t forget Obama signed an executive order allowing him to seize control of and shut down the internet, in the event of an “emergency”.
THANK GOD FOR STURM-RUGER!!!
But what about Levi?
LOL. No doubt
He’s hoping all of this blows over through the holiday weekend, but I really think it’s going to backfire because liberals don’t like to be exposed.
CBSNews.com has a link in top stories.
ABCNews.com has a link way down on home page.
CNN.com NOTHING.
MSNBC.com NOTHING.
Disgraceful.
"Tonight, for the first time in a quarter century America's unemployment reaches 9.7%, but the news isn't all bad."
In some ways, George is serving in his second Democrat administration.
The saddest part is the fact that the “liberals” are aware of it but are quite happy to see that the media isn’t covering it.
How’s that for pathetic hypocrisy.
now, when he goes, these “news” sources will look even more like they have NO value.
...sounds like a pretty good litmus test.
Van Jones is as invisible to the MSM as Gerald Walpin was.
I'm setting up an office pool for when Van Jones joins the rest of the crowd under the Obama bus.
Yep, which is why, despite what anybody on Fox thinks, Jones won’t be leaving anytime soon.
I really think this guy is viewed by Zippy as a kindred spirit and dumping him would be beyond hypocritical—it would look pathetic, especially to the left.
I may be reading it wrong but I think the Obamanoids have big plans for Jones and they’re not going to scrap those plans by giving him the axe.
Obama’s beloved yet more radical fascist comrades like Van Johnson,as with Stalin’s Trotsky and Hitler’s Roehm,will have to be purged if he hopes to convince the military to help him become dictator.
Because his hopes for a civilian brownshirt national security force are fading fast.
