The State Run Media is dying a death of a thousand cuts. The interesting fact is that they are doing to themselves. They deserve their fate.

The lying, commie supporting left wing media thought as they usually do that the omission would benefit the entity they wish to support. Instead the proof they are leftist scum rose to the surface for all to see again.

Although the stupid still remain willfully blind so they will be replaced.

How did he get past the FBI?
Did it get past the FBI? That is the more relevant question.

But until then, the growing alternative media of Internet and talk radio and a burgeoning mass of justifiably angry Americans will make every effort to expose the sham that is mainstream journalism.

There are so many things we would not if we read, say, The Dallas Morning News from cover to cover every day.

The media doesn’t seem to have any desire to wake up.

But with their decision to ignore the Jones story, they may have actually done Mr. Obama far more harm than good: Who vetted this guy? How did he get past the FBI

Vetted him?
Past the FBI?
He was not being appointed to a Cabinent position. He was not applying for a Federal Job.
He was hand picked by Obama and GIVEN a position.PERIOD. That is how it was done in Chicago and in in the dreamlands of Socialism/Communism that Obama operates from.

“Inevitably, the American mainstream media - ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, et al - must be held to account for sitting on the sidelines”

No, wrong. The Mainstream Media was busy. They were busy investigating Sarah Palin. After all, she was spotted wearing a jacket with a logo on it.

And she gave an interview while a turkey was being slaughtered.

That is really *important* journalism, not such trivial fluff as a “Czar” who’s a communist in the Obama Administration...

The Mainstream Media is always looking out for us. I’m so glad.

Fantastic post!

“Newsweek” being probably the biggest loser of the bunch, as liberalism slides into senility its losing subscribers in droves.

[Wonderama Mama]

the media agrees with JOnes, so they had no problem with any of the stuff you and I are freaking out on.

[spyone]

Thanks for posting this gem.

It will just push more folks over to Fox News. Fox has been harping on the fact that everyone else in the news business ignored the Van Jones story. When only one network covers a story that turns out to be true that network gains tons of credibility with the public.

[RayChuang88]

We've seen this happen not once, but twice before: the Jayson Blair debacle at the New York Times in 2003 and the Rathergate fiasco at CBS News in 2004. In both cases, these scandals devastated trust in the MSM and (in my opinion!) contributed mightily to the fall of many newspapers, news magazines and the evening network news broadcasts.

[GOPJ]

For most people in this country, the resignation was the first they had heard of Van Jones. For this sin of journalistic omission, there's institutional media blame. Bias is too tame a word for the utter shamelessness on display: Only Republican scandals - real and imagined - matter.

And it's not just those the Democratic-Media Complex dub as "mobs" or "tea baggers" that are taking notice. Diminishing audience and evaporating subscribership reflect widespread consumer dissatisfaction. Eventually, the money will run out.

The MSM can lie by omission but they can't get away with it forever - they won't have enough viewers or subscribers to keep the doors open...

The SRM keeps wondering why their viewership keeps dropping? Prime example of why! Person goes to work and talks about it, 1/2 the peopleknow nothing about it but know person who did know aboiut it watches FoxNews so they go home tune in and eventually quit watching other stations who report their Obama Propaganda.

[smedley64]

Soon, Obama will appoint a “Save The Dinosaur Media” czar, and will shunt millions of “stimulus” dollars to them so they can still propagandize their remaining 72 viewers/readers. He will then proclaim that he saved thousands of meaningful jobs, which will be trumpeted faithfully by the dying media he helped to save.
