1. Is this some television tempest?

Television news and opinion is noise.

2. He helped Jared develop the WH "police reform plan" . . . and then . . .

He went on CNN to praise the report, w/o mentioning that he had worked on it.



According to a new report, CNN analyst, Van Jones, was instrumental in helping to craft the order which was characterized by Democrats as “weak,” and a “photo op.” The NAACP Legal Defense Fund said that the order must not be “a distraction on the path toward achieving veritable, lasting change.”

The order creates a database to track police officers with multiple instances of misconduct and uses federal grants to encourage local police departments to meet certain higher certification standards on the use of force.

According to the report in The Daily Beast, a knowledgeable source inside the White House said that Jones and California attorney Jessica Jackson met with Jared Kushner to help write the order.

Jones praised the order on CNN during both the Inside Politics show and 360 with Anderson Cooper without disclosing that he himself had helped on it.

“The executive order is a good thing,” Jones said, “mainly because you saw the support of law enforcement there … There is movement in the direction of a database for bad cops. We have never had a federal database for bad cops, that’s why all these cops go all over the place doing bad stuff… The chokeholds, that’s common ground now between Nancy Pelosi and Trump. Good stuff there.”

4. Thank You!

It's irritating to see posts without links or context.

We're not all wired into CNN and MSNBC.

My wife and I don't watch any television but Netflix and DVDs.

7. If I included favorable or unfavorable information it would have biased the poll.

The photo should have been a tip off.

3. need another option: extremely unfavorable and can't stand him

[Laurian]

5. Only cares about putting himself in high profile situations without serious regard for outcomes.

He’s totally self absorbed.

[Sunsky]

6. He's a clout chaser

And a traitor to his people. Lately, I'm ignoring any article pertaining to Van Jones. I won't waste my time on him.

8. He Can Go Sniff Flies As Far As I'm Concerned

9. "His reach transcends age, race, geography and political ideology."

That's from Mr. Jones's own website. And he's always ready to engage "with an open heart and an open mind," as he puts it.

Mr. Jones may have really imagined he had an open (and profound!) mind when he claimed white female Hillary supporters were a greater threat to black Americans than the KKK. That blatant female thing again, though! Damn!

Well, his mind was obviously open to the reality that we were going to make Hillary our first woman president, while there was certainly no threat of that from the KKK.

His "open heart" also exposed his hostility toward and rejection of virtually all white liberal females. Amusing that the KKK's racist, misogynistic wiring was proven to be in mind as he projected what was in his heart. On white Democratic women.

Hell no, I don't have a favorable view. We need to impale racist sexist male creeps on their own words, not let them impale us. No special privileges for skin color or male gender.

10. Can't stand to watch him

He stumbles all over his words as if he’s making up what he is saying as he goes along. He’s also way too melodramatic for my tastes.

11. He's fallen into the same reputation hole as Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon for me.

People who I can still appreciate some of their past work ("Canadian Bacon" is still on the top of my list of all-time underrated comedies), but in 2020 have become useless for me.

12. Jones reminds me of "Face in the Crowd" character, Joey DePalma

played by Tony Franciosa. Too clever by half.

13. Pretty sure the only people who support Van are MAGATS

And the two misguided folks who voted yes in this poll.
