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.

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?"
