		<description>"But in the Van Jones situation he [Beck] got this one right, even if the most damning evidence involving the 9/11 Truther petition was dug up not by Beck, but by Jim Hoft."

The Liberal Main-stream Media has created Rush. But not giving balance, they opened the door for a conservative POV take on the news to be hugely successful. The lame liberals fail to notice that half of Rush's show is Rush reading from the MSM and giving his take on it, media critique, and half of his show is letting audience chime in.

The Liberal "mainstream" Media has created Beck. The bloggers up-ended Rather for his journalistic errors, errors rooted in bias and hubris. Since then, the liberal MSM continued in the liberal narrative mode to IGNORE REAL STORIES THAT HURT LIBERALS while pushing FAKE stories that hurt Republicans. The MSM failure to vet Obama's background (can someone please show me the investigative journalism on Obama's college records and grades?) failure to vet Obama's nominees (it fell to conservatives to dig up Sotomayor's statements) and appointees (New York Times AWOL on Van Jones), leaves a yawning GAP ...

In the past, the gap created ignorance. In the new media era, the age of information abhors an information vacuum. This is partly why 'birthers' cropped up - a simple FAILURE BY THE LIBERAL MSM to actually care enough to ask Obama 'hey, can we see the birth certificate you posted on your website?' (someone tell me if any of the journalists were the least bit curious); it was left to bloggers to find newspaper birth announcements, etc.

And this is why Beck is successful and will continue to be successful. The NYT narrative and credibility is shot. Beck has a different narrative and fills a niche now - telling us the stuff about Obama's admin that the liberal MSM is afraid to admit.

		<description>The comment filter prevents me from giving multiple links per comment, quite insufficient for the "Olbermann is a liar" case... Here are top 10 lies from 2007... which actually links to dozens of lies.
You could fill volumes on Oblie's distortions, lies, lifting of leftwing blogger rant-memes, and assorted acts of jounralistic malpractice. A sample:

http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2007/12/keith_olbermann_71.php#more


#5 - As quickly as Herr Olbermann will rush to attack other broadcasters, he is oh-so-careful not to upset his corporate masters at A-Mess-NBC. He'll broadcast flat-out fabrications, like claiming Rudy Giuliani's Presidential campaign is being run by--get ready for this--Fox's Roger Ailes. He'll even lie about the contents of a competitor's blog. But our #5 entry shows Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann at his most desperate. So eager was he to protect a possible NBC hire (Rosie O'Donnell) he doctored her words (sound familiar?) to claim she never compared US troops to terrorists. Then he blamed "Fox Noise"--another lie to protect his own sorry butt, since the people who accused Rosie of the troops/terrorism comparison were Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, and Howard Fineman--not on Fox, but on MSNBC!</description>

		<description>I would suggest that the core reason why you hear such vociferous protests from the left about the right on this issuesis that they're more pissed off at the President but don't feel at liberty to openly and loudly express that.</description>

		<description>Van Jones is an interesting man.  He has succeeded using American shame and guilt. He was provided a great education and turned on the very country that provided his education.  The fact that the Democrats have turned hard left this election is no different from the right turns hard at various times.  The fact that Van Jones would be held in high esteem by the media and the liberals is no surprise.  He is articulate, educated and rationalizes everything against American, white members of the society, and Christianity. Van Jones is a young black man who can entertain his audience and have his messages of hate and bias received with applause and praise.  

The fact he is a self proclaimed communist is not germane.  The fact his represents the black movement of hatred and bigotry against other races primarily white is not germane.  It is the self proclaiming of the overthrow of the US government which is against the law that has made several individuals and citizens pause to ask "How did this man get this job?" His "Green" knowledge is one of stating that the white society has poison the earth and other races in America.  Green jobs are for the union workers and members of the new wave.  

The fact that Van Jones represents the essences of the Obama Administration is what truly frightens Americans.</description>

		<description>It is obvious that Americans are never going to be told the truth about the macinations of D.C. and it has now been left up to the bloggers to ferret out the truth.

Bloggers are doing the work that the MSM has historically been responsible for.  Just like the [quiet] news that broke yesterday that the Orange County Register (a left leaning publication) had gone under because of $425 million debt.  Who holds most of that debt?  JP Morgan/Chase who has agreed to forgive what OCR owes them.  But remember, JPMC got $25 BILLION in taxpayer bailouts so really, the American taxpayer just bailed out OCR.  Who in the administration approved the forgiving of that debt?  And why is JPM/C being allowed to replace management at the OCR?  That had to be approved by this administration, but remember, JPM/C was one of Obama's largest campaign contributors.

Would we know these things if it were not for the bloggers?  No.  And the best way to keep us informed is for the blogs to work together.  That was the point I was trying to make.</description>

		<description>Admittedly, Van Jones was not qualified for this position. So be it. As has been noted, it's not the be-all, end-all of anything. Literally, anything.

But there's this thing called "actual journalism" and sometimes they write about stuff. Stuff like Van Jones. And it's not just a bunch of bilious idiots yelling, or rehashings of opinions about opinions about watered-down facts. It's more nuanced, and more reasonable. 

No doubt, I will offer this article, and everyone will seize upon certain quotes and passages as evidence of why Van Jones was not qualified for the job. I repeat: he was not. But let's at least try to understand a little instead of knee-jerking ourselves completely out of the grey realm of subtlety and contradiction - such stuff as reality is made on.

If that's possible.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Admittedly, Van Jones was not qualified for this position. So be it. As has been noted, it&#8217;s not the be-all, end-all of anything. Literally, anything.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s this thing called &#8220;actual journalism&#8221; and sometimes they write about stuff. Stuff like Van Jones. And it&#8217;s not just a bunch of bilious idiots yelling, or rehashings of opinions about opinions about watered-down facts. It&#8217;s more nuanced, and more reasonable. </p>
<p>No doubt, I will offer this article, and everyone will seize upon certain quotes and passages as evidence of why Van Jones was not qualified for the job. I repeat: he was not. But let&#8217;s at least try to understand a little instead of knee-jerking ourselves completely out of the grey realm of subtlety and contradiction - such stuff as reality is made on.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s possible.</p>

		<description>"BTW, could someone please tell me what it is Keith Olbermann has done that is so offensive?"

Other than being a venomous, sick, twisted liar and Goebbels-imitating shrill hatemongering propagandist? Every "worst person" he does is about some one more decent, honorable and honest than him.

And he's a creep in real life too.
other than than? oh I dunno ..
