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?...

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.

What makes all of this significant is that the vast majority of these stories were either reported on or driven by Fox News, talk radio, Politico.com, The Drudge Report, and various online blogs. The mainstream media was not proactive at all in terms of getting to the bottom of many of these stories and hammering the points home. Among the outlets I am referring to are CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. I firmly believe now, after looking at all the news from the summer, that a very clear liberal media bias exists. These outlets either did not care or did not do their job effectively in bringing the facts to the American people who obviously cared about these topics.

From a Nexis search a few moments ago:

Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the New York Times: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy in the Washington Post: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on NBC Nightly News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on ABC World News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on CBS Evening News: 0.

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?"

The Hartford Courant claimed that he resigned because he had signed something saying that the government was behind 9/11.

Andrew Breitbart:


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 as this major story kept building without them... 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.

Those who have not viewed this video should.
Perhaps it will shed some light on why the MSM is such a joke.

I watched this video a couple of years ago and didn't like it. It's true that the CFR controls all mainstream media. But this movie was done by the John Birch Society, and defends Ronald Reagan, and criticizes the media for being critical of the vietnam war at the time! Just assume that everything you see on MSM news is propaganda, and nothing is worth paying attention to.
