The Messy Truth about Van Jones

[Geee]

National Review:

A lifelong far-left conspiracy theorist now poses as the voice of reason.

They never learn.

The grand journalism pooh-bahs at CNN were humiliated this election cycle when WikiLeaks revealed that former CNN contributor and interim DNC chair Donna Brazile had shared a question with the Hillary Clinton campaign in advance of a March Democratic-primary town-hall debate. According to CNN, “activist anchor” Roland Martin and his production team at CNN’s debate partner and identity-politics network TV One were responsible for the leak. CNN host Jake Tapper called the episode “very, very troubling” and condemned the breach:

 

“Journalistically, it’s horrifying,” he told WMAL radio.

 

CNN president Jeff Zucker declared after an internal investigation that the network “would not partner ever again” with TV One.

 

But instead of weeding out left-wing partisans masquerading as mainstream political analysts from their lineup, CNN is doubling down. This week, the network debuted a news special called The Messy Truth, hosted by “political commentator” Van Jones.

 

Yeah, that guy.
