That is fine if they are reporting it as republican attacks. When people read why the republicans attacked, then they will think it was justified. This will help the republicans.

They are trying to figure out how to report it and explain why they did not report it.

From CNN last month and not a word since:

The new special adviser for “green jobs” — those jobs that help reduce energy consumption and lessen environmental impact — at the White House Council on Environmental Quality is in some ways like President Obama himself: an African-American community activist and organizer who has rocketed to the highest levels of government.

They apparently didn't know how right they were.

Weasels!

Thank you for the link. I read the article.

Last sentence: “The White House kept mum about Jones Friday, telling reporters only Jones would remain as part of Obama’s administration.”

So, what happened? LOL
