NY Times Finally Picks Up Van Jones Story — After He Resigns
Newsbusters makes a very good point. The New York Times didn’t run any stories on the scandals surrounding Van Jones until after he had been forced to resign. That tells you how woefully uninformed you will be if you depend on the New York Times for your news. That also explains why so many liberals love the New York Times. Facts and information are their enemy. When forced to defend their politics, their only argument, if you can call it that, comes from the emotional rants and the hate filled, Obama loving, anti-American garbage NYT reporters consistently produce.
Van Jones, Obama environmental adviser and “green jobs” czar, resigned late Saturday night, the culmination of days of controversy (ignored by the mainstream media) after the Gateway Pundit blog dug up evidence of Van Jones being a “Truther.” He signed a 911Truth.org petition in 2004 questioning whether the Bush administration “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen.” And the New York Times does its first story on the matter — the day after Van Jones resigned his administration post.
Last month, the New York Times jumped on the conservative fringe of “Birthers” who question Obama’s Hawaiian birthplace and thus his presidential eligibility, deriding the conspiracy theory as false and demanding prominent Republicans denounce the idea. Yet the Times maintained strict silence on the Van Jones controversy as it bubbled away for several days in the photosphere, with only the Washington Times and Fox News Channel willing to treat as a news story the fact that an influential member of the Obama administration thinks the government may have let 9-11 happen — a far more incendiary charge than the question of Obama’s birthplace.
With the exception of the growing number of good blogs out there, along with talk radio, and Glenn Beck, investigative reporting is dead in America. Never, ever get your news from one source, and investigate everything for yourself.
