    Van Jones Resigns

    Van, Bus Collide: Always trust content from kausfiles, give or take 24 hours! ...P.S.: He signed a Truther petition. Bye. ... P.S.:  Where's the New York Times? Noah SIlverman notes:

    Readers of the print edition will never have heard of the presidential appointee so controversial the President had to dump him. Is this a milestone in the decline of the NYT?

    I've been waiting for the day when a prominent pol resigns and for print MSM readers it appears to be out-of-the-blue, though everyone on the Web knows the whole story.  But for WaPo'Franke-Ruta and Kornblut, this would be that case. ... In any case, more evidence that you can't find out what's going on by reading the Times. ... Backfill: Andy Levy. ...

    Update: It seems this may be just another installment of the NYT's running feature, "You Know That Guy You've Never Heard About? Well, He's Gone." ...[Tks to reader C.W.] ... Tom Maguire:

    Folks living in the Times bubble are possibly becoming accustomed to these moments of whiplash - the Times' first coverage of the Eason Jordan resignation at CNN also came with his resignation.

    It's sort of like in Spinal Tap, when the drummer spontaneously explodes. ... [via Insta]

    More: People are crediting Gateway Pundit with the scoop, though GP seems to credit another blog. [Correction: GP thanks a commenter for the tip.] Either way, GP a) did the MSM's work for it and b) is not Glenn Beck. ... 10:19 P.M.
