Thread: Sorry Beck

Van Jones was taken out by the blogosphere. Gatewaypundit broke the story here;

Also, the real story is not Van, but how so much of the media did not report the story until AFTER he had resigned;

"If people relied on the mainstream media, especially print media, to keep up to date on the government, then they must have quite a shock this morning with the resignation of Van Jones." http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/0...s-resignation/



Hats off again to the pajama clad army of internet warriors. In my opinion, it has also been the internet which has driven the debate on healthcare. Not talk radio, not Fox news. All the Rushs and Becks, and O'Reilys of the world do is assimilate and re-wrap stuff they read on the internet anyway.

I'd agree .... but ... without the input of talk radio and Beck/Fox ..... most those affected .... would NEVER have known ..... the MSM... totally ignored any reportage of argument/fact ... show me where any of the aforementioned cast a light on any of the controversy re: Van Jones ... health care .... or anything else currently newsworthy ... other than to side with the proponents ....
