"Reverand" Van "Wright" Jones is Gone!

Van Jones, the controversial "Green Jobs Czar" working for BHO resigned Saturday midnight (on the long Labor Day weedend - what a surprise!) saying:

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,..."

Odd thing is, as you can see from this Byron York article, the MSM did not cover the story at all until this Friday, and then feebly!

"Coverage of the Jones controversy was a case study of some of the deep divisions within the media. Fox News' Glenn Beck devoted program after program to Jones' past, and a number of conservative blogs were responsible for finding some of Jones' most inflammatory statements. Yet even as the controversy grew -- and even after Jones himself apologized for some of his words -- several of the nation's top media outlets failed to report the story. As late as Friday, as the Jones matter began to boil over, it had not been reported at all in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC. Although the Post and CBS went on to report the Jones story on Saturday, the Times did not inform its readers about the Jones matter until after Jones resigned."

Now it seems to me if in fact a "vicious smear campaign" was being waged, the MSM would have leapt to his defense to put those right wingers in their place. Logical?

Perhaps there was not a defense!

Someone please explain to me how you can depend on the MSM for your information when it is so clear they are all simply the BHO administration PROTECTORS? I would be embarrassed!
