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. For instance, the New
York Times makes its first mention of the Jones controversy this
morning — by reporting his resignation
Did the Times report it on Friday? On Saturday? No.
Their first print report of any controversy at all over Van Jones came
today, in reporting his resignation. The Times does a credible job
laying out the more substantial accusations against Jones, but there is
a problem here as well
When did the 9/11 Truther connection come to light? Jim Hoft reported it Thursday, and it flew through the blogosphere. Even more Truther connections
came out the next day. When did the New York Times — and to be fair,
most other newspapers in the country — get around to reporting in print
that a paranoid conspiracy theorist had a job as a White House czar?
Today, after he quit.
