On March 13, 2008, ABC News broke the story that Barack Obama's longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, had made a number of incendiary statements from the pulpit of Obama's church in Chicago. The most inflammatory of those remarks was Wright's notorious "God damn America" sermon.
The news set off a media firestorm. "God damn America" was in the papers, magazines, the Internet, television, radio. It was everywhere, except one place: the news pages of America's most powerful newspaper, the New York Times. In the days, weeks, and months following the ABC report, the Times' news pages repeatedly failed to inform its readers that Wright had ever uttered those infamous words.

Maybe because the New York Times is owned by a Mexican?
We've known for a long time that the MSM has long been an enemy of the USA, we don't need to continually revisit the topic each time a new case of media bias comes up.
Simple. The American Press is made up of fully indoctrinated Communists who consider themselves to be elite..”Citizens of the World”.
“Why did the press ignore the Van Jones scandal?”
That’s easy.
Obama is their boy — they see no evil.
The story was led by Fox News, and worse, Glen Beck! And no “real” journalist will take the crumbs from Fox’s table.

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

"There was a day, not too long ago, when the Times and other influential news organizations could kill a story -- could deny the bad guys a win -- simply by ignoring it. Sometimes they still try. But it just won't work anymore."
Because they are Obama sychophants.
You'd think that they would change their ways. But they aren't about the money. They're just pushing the ideology, come what may.
York mentions your point in the article. To the contrary, the issue of media bias is one conservatives must hammer on like a drumbeat — incessant, pounding, and maddening to our opponents — until the dinosaur media is either dead and gone or changes its ways.
Excellent piece.
The Democratic news media was extraordinarily bad in this case, because it ignored obvious facts that could have been easily reported by any journalist willing to do half a job. And it continues to ignore those facts, preferring instead to give a forum to Van Jones apologists. Jones’ apologists are acting as low-life liars who are obscuring reality to fit their political agendas.
I agree FRiend. It has be pointed out every time it happens, so more and more people are aware.
So many independents sleep walk their way thru life and don't pay attention to anything political (and that's how we get a Carter or an Obama), but if they keep seeing this message, even subconsciously, it may take root in their tiny, inattentive brain someday.
The establishmedia has decided survival of their cult leader over their own survival. I say good choice.
Pray for the Tea Party Express
And one again I must post a sad instruction...
“READ MY TAGLINE” It is more accurate than the one seen at the top of the “SLIMES”
I canceled Time and Newsweek during the Carter administration. No local paper for 20 yrs. The ideology has not changed in the MSM. Just the fact we can get information from so many other sources. Make sure to support your favorite blogs. They deserve the dollars we used to pay to the MSM.
The MSM has realized that the Rev. Wright and Van Jones are really what Obama is, and decided the best thing in Obama’s interest is to remain silent, knowing that shining the light of day on Obama would be his undoing.
Communist is a bad word like the N-word!!
Then on top comes the fear of the race card or McCarthyism!!!
I thought Sean Hannity did it first?
Whatever happened to Van Earl Wright?
Important stories which could damage Democrats have been ignored or buried by the DBM for a half century or more. Bernie Goldberg asserts often that the liberal bias of the DBM is as apparent in what they DON’T report as what they do.
Doesn’t work anymore, thanks to talk radio, the internet and FNC.
