From a Nexis search a few moments ago:

Total words about the Van Jones controversy on ABC World News: 0.
Total words about the Van Jones controversy on CBS Evening News: 0.

If you were to receive all your news from any one of these outlets, or even all of them together, and you heard about some sort of controversy involving President Obama's Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, your response would be, "Huh?" If you heard that that adviser, Van Jones, had apologized for a number of remarks and positions in the recent past, your response would be, "What?" And if you were in the Obama White House monitoring the Jones situation, you would be hoping that the news organizations listed above continue to hold the line -- otherwise, Jones, who is quite well thought of in Obama circles, would be history.

Everyone should start calling these "news" outlets and start to complain.

I am tired of the bullsh...... that they are getting away with.

Their ratings have gone down and Fox is going up - but they still have over 20K per night while O'Reily has 4.5K on average and Glenn Beck is up to 2.8K average.
