The Van Jones (non) feeding frenzy [NBC, ABC, CBS - Van Jones Who?]

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.

The New York Times still hasn’t written one word about Van Jones.

I imagine one of those “networks” will pick him up as their resident “green” advisor and saving the planet “expert”.

The Washington Post did an article today, but since Jones just resigned I wonder if the rest will still keep silent.

They’re all waiting for DRUDGE to break the news, which he has not . . . yet.

Historic moment. A man close to the president, a man with $30 billion of taxpayer money in his hot little hands to dole out as he and Obama saw fit is forced out of office because the public is outraged by him and there is no mention of any problem in the mainstream media before it happens.

That is incredible.

This is exactly like TASS and PRAVDA in the USSR. “What plane crash? “; “What dead cosmonauts?”

That is incredible.

The government made a big mistake when it decided to pick a fight with the American people.

So again a major story hits, is wildly discussed and argued and then fades away without 80% of America ever knowing that it took place.

The good news is that this is a giant improvement over 30 years ago.

Until the eighties the American media was totally, 100% controlled by the left with no avenue or person or medium to crack through it, nothing existed outside of the lefts media.

The Wall St. Journal had an article about the controversy on Friday.

From FoxNews.com

URGENT: Van Jones, Obama’s green jobs adviser, resigns amid controversy over past statements and revelations he once joined the ‘9/11 truther’ movement.

if this is all it takes to get rid of a czar...

the truth about his background comes out..and he folds and runs

There are still 43 others..and they have pasts that make them unfit to be there also...

This makes me wonder if the MSM will just ignore the resignation altogether. It will be very hard for them to report it without mentioning that the controversy has been swirling for almost two weeks, and they chose to totally ignore it.

Beck better be wearing body armor now, and/or have good security. I wouldn’t put anything past the 0bama goons.

But, Jones is just the tip of the iceberg, a very nasty, and very big iceberg. Beck has outed many of them, but hasn’t zeroed in on any as hard as he did with Jones. Now that Jones is gone, Beck and others have to target the rest of these radicals.

Well put. If they mention it at all, they will find the most innocuous event in all of his radical history, and make it sound as if that ONE tiny thing made the intolerant, racist VRWC get him fired. Well, that and the evil Glenn Beck.

I am sure all the hacks (ABC,NBC,CBS, Compost and Slimes) are very upset right now. They will eventually reluctantly report it.

These companies are in fact not news organizations at all but the propaganda wing of the socialist democratic party of the United States.

They are also all run by human beings, they are not faceless oracles but are controlled by homosexual propagandists for the left.

In the other running thread, someone mentioned that ABC News has reported it.
