Letter to Press Democrat

Two days after Van Jones stepped down from his position as one of PBO's Czars, I have only seen one article in the local paper here in Cotati, CA. I'm a little steamed that this is not news worthy to so called reporters! I know that the drive-by media are bias, but this is a bunch of bull.....this is the letter I wrote to the editors:

Dear Gentlemen,

I'm writing you because I'm baffled and quite concerned about the lack of interest the media and news entities, nation wide as well as local, have with issues that are not only news worthy, but may be crucial for the people of this nation to be informed on. I'm speaking in particular about the recent resignation of Van Jones, one of the Obama Administration Czar's.

During uncertain times in our Nation, I believe we, the public, deserve as much information as we can possibly get from reporters. Instead, many of us are left in the dark, ignorant to what is happening in our Government, which will end up having a direct effect on each of us in one way or another. I believe we are in a National crisis and there are people in places that are playing with our future. I believe that it is the reporters job to ask the real questions, regardless of political views or if it means they will have to face some unkind truths they just don't want to believe. Reporters report news, not only the news they choose to report on.

I have been aware of the questionable views of Van Jones for a few weeks now. This story has been surfacing and reported on by one information source, and it was out there for all to question and do their own ingestion, but no one is asking the question. Ohhhh but it doesn't stop there, because after the story was broken it never hit the papers nor did it find it's way to the top story in the network news stations. Mr. Van Jones stepped down from his position in the White House as a "Czar" and it became nothing more than a blip in news papers and the news. I believe your paper mentioned it on the 6th and left it at that.

For months already, I have witnessed bias reporting and in this case, lack of reporting. The media is failing us. Why are you not asking the questions? If he slipped in the cracks and by chance ended up in the White House, should we be looking at other Czars? How did this happen? Was the President in danger? If he knew about Mr. Jones' political view's, are we in danger? Please, there is something going on here! Why is it that reporters are not reporting? Why are editors not demanding the real stories? Villifying people who do not agree with personal political views does not a story make! Getting to the truth during a dire time in this Nation's history is the story! Facts and truth are what is needed during these days of uncertainty.

I am asking you to, please, start asking questions and searching for truth. We need a form of information we can go to and know that no matter what, we will be getting the stories of interest, of necessity and are factual and accurate.

Sincerely and Extremely Concerned
