Van Jones Draws Support From News Outlets Reluctant to Cover Controversy

Van Jones may be gone from the Obama administration after a long list of questionable remarks and actions forced his resignation, but the former "green jobs" adviser still has the backing of some at The Los Angeles Times and other news outlets that refused to report the original controversy.

And the list of news outlets that ignored the story is a long and lofty one. While FOX News and a few talk radio hosts kept the public informed about Jones' record, most major news outlets, including The New York Times, CNN.com and MSNBC.com, remained silent until nearly the end, when Jones resigned.

The San Francisco Chronicle ran an editorial, called "Joe Wilson, Van Jones and the watermelon hypothesis," which claimed that FOX News commentator Glenn Beck used "fear of blacks" to stir outrage about Jones.

Hell, the Washington Post still features him on their super-duper special website for “Who Runs Gov’t” - even though they note he was forced to resign.

The shadows behind the shadow gov’t...just like Dashole.

Additionally, Charlie Sheen, another liberal degenerate and moron, wrote Obummer a letter to investigate that 8/11 was an inside job when this was already investigated by Congress and everything and I mean everything did not even come close to any evidence that 9/11 was an inside job. Those that believe it was are not only idiots, low grade morons, the liberal lunatic fringe and the blame America firsters.

The Los Angeles Times stopped being relevant for anything other than bird poop catching a long time ago.....

Krauthammer argued that Jones’ backers shouldn’t worry about his fate. Instead, his ouster could end up being a “great career move. He’s gone from marginal loon to liberal martyr. His speaking fees have just doubled. It’s only a matter of time before he gets his own show on MSNBC.”

Charles at his best...
