Van Jones resigned. And the soap opera begins.
In the age of Obama, allowing a person to speak for themselves is a smear campaign. The media are sobbing over the tragedy of Van Jones being Van Jones and getting Van Jones resignation.
It isn't anyone's fault but Van Jones that Van Jones is gone. No one forced him to sign a "Truther" petition, no one asked him to cut an album with a cop-killer, no one dictated he embrace communism, no one put the man up to trying to undermine the War on Terror following 9/11, no one forced the man to be a racist and hater and say the things he said or believe the things he believes.
Sorry. No one. That was him and him alone. And when the American public learned who he was, they rightfully rejected him.
It's called responsiblity for one's actions, a concept Obama talked about just today in his address to school children. Too bad he doesn't actually believe it.
The mainstream media, however, did their best to keep it quiet. Carry that water, fellas. Just keep carrying that water.
FoxNews reports on the Van Jones media silence.
What did the mainstream journalists learn from this lapse of actually doing their job? That it's time to start doing it? Nah. That the internet is evil.
I listened to this Sunday while driving in my vehicle. It was apparent even with wind noise and road noise and traffic noise, that these guys sounded like a group of spoiled elitists upset they don't get to control the propaganda. How dare anyone actually do the job they are refusing to do.
And what did the media miss? How about the fact we have over 30 czars in this Obama administration that do not go through a vetting process and are not subject to Congressional hearings while given tax dollars to spend and power to wield. It's called a checks and balances system, the very basic system of our government, and it's failing.
Too bad we can't vote our journalists out. We can, however, stop watching them.
