The reason there was no Van Jones controversy in the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC Nightly News, ABC World News, CBS Evening News, etc, is there is no Van Jones controversy.

Ok, so you don't accept that there is a media bias. I get it.

No you don't. Jones supporting an investigation... so what? So did a lot of other people. That's neither news nor a controversy.

I agree with Bruce. Asking for an investigation does not necessarily suggest that he believes it. Also, this would not directly affect his job in the way that, say his being a Creationist would.

Considering that we have sitting Congressman calling for "birther" investigations, with not a peep from the moderate or 'sane' conservatives, I'll chalk this one up to partisanship.

BTW, most of the 'mainstream' media also gives a free pass to nutjob conservatives (and liberals) in government. There's simply too many out there for it to be news.
