Media Ignores Van Jones Controversy

September 4th, 2009 12:36 PM

Did you know Obama's "Green Jobs Czar", Van Jones,  is a self admitted communist?  Did you know audio surfaced of an interview with him where he spoke of incrementalist revolution?  These extreme views are not even denied by the Czar.  Did you have any idea he signed a document asking for the investigation of the U.S. government for orchestrating the events of 911?  Did you know after bloggers exposed him as a conspiracy theorist he lamely claimed he didn't know what he was signing and did not hold the views of a government conspiracy?  Did you know that after his denial more documents surfaced exposing his involvement in anti-war, and 911 conspiracy groups as early as 2002?

 If you answered yes to any of these you can thank bloggers like Gateway Pundit and Naked Emporer News.  They did the job the MSM should have done.  Not only were they the ones that did the research and exposed this radical, but even after the truth was out there the majority of the media continue to ignore it.

If you were to rely on the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC Nightly News, ABC World News, CBS Evening News or even all of the combined for all your news you would have absolutely no idea what we are talking about.

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.

It comes as no surprise the media are ignoring this huge controversy.  After all, it could hurt the President's already tanking popularity.
