      What Beck did was not an "investigation." Everything that they threw at him was pretty much public knowledge . . . what Beck DIDN'T disclose was that his attack on Jones was a vendetta for Jones' perceived, but not real, responsibility for Beck losing advertisers.

        Looks like the character assassination goes deeper than just losing sponsors:

        Beck’s Character Assassination Campaign Against Van Jones Was Fueled By AFP’s Efforts To Kill Green Jobs

        There ya have it, the tool is a tool of anti green jobs.

        Exactly. All of Van Jones' comments were made at public forums- not underground in caves by morse code and smoke signals. Actually all it took was a little knowledge of how to work "The Googles" and "The Youtubes". What Beck did was hyper pimped Jones' comments to his racist fearful audience-- in other words replay sound bytes of specific keywords which would make his fans "scared".

          Personally, I think it was wrong for Van Jones to apologize for calling republicans @$$holes. We see here every day that they are that and much worse...

            Agreed...Why apologize for speaking the truth?

            But, actually, to put his remarks in context, he said that you have to be an A-hole to get things done...that, in fact, he too could be an A-hole.

      Van Jones wasn't "investigated" not by Beck. Beck doesn't know how to actually DO an investigation, and like others have said, you could just Google everything Beck brought up easily enough, heck, most of it was right on Van Jones' wiki page.

      Who knew that Dobbsy would turn out to be such a small minded, vindictive little windbag? He seems to be losing brain cells every day...
