The Media, Eyes Wide Shut

At least Glenn Beck, Gateway Pundit, and others are calling Obama out for his czars. The media and Congress are acting like Sargeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.

The Van Jones (non) feeding frenzy | Washington Examiner

And a 9/5 update:
After the Jones controversy reached a boiling point on Friday, the Washington Post published a story, "White House Says Little on Embattled Jones," on page A-3 of its Saturday edition. But the New York Times remained silent on the story.

Likewise, on Friday night the "CBS Evening News" reported the Jones matter, but ABC's "World News" and "NBC Nightly News" again failed to report the story.
Hats off to the Bryon York at the Washington Examiner.
