New York Times Gets Around to Reading the Wire
New York Times—which intentionally ignored the Van Jones controversy for weeks in hopes of sparing its boss the embarrassment of an early resignation—finally read the wires, 14 hours after Van Jones resigned.
The NYT story is remarkably . . . accurate for a paper that prides itself on its skill in disguising leftist opinion as actual news.
The one criticism I would level is a attribution. The article attributes awareness of Van Jones’s anti-Americanism to Glenn Beck. While Beck has been critical of Jones, it was St. Louis’s Gateway Pundit who dogged Jones over the past week, leading to Jones’s resignation.
Will the NYT get ahead of the John Holdren story? I doubt it. But they might want to explain why Holdren has advocated:
- A dictatorial world government to which all Americans are subject
- Forced abortions
- Forced, mass sterilization
- State control of children
Gateway Pundit continues to amaze. Here’s Nancy Pelosi praising Jones.
