CNN Analyst Van Jones Blasts Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch For "Real Black President Tweet" One Week from OCCUR Awards 
 
OAKLAND, CA- Presidential politics hit the fan so to speak as reactions came to Rupert Murdoch's "Tweet" that was less than sweet. Highly accomplished, Van Jones, the creator of four nonprofits and former "Green Czar" for the Obama Administration, slammed Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch for his " completely outrageous and disgusting," "juvenile" tweet implying that President Obama is not a "Real Black President" but that if elected Dr. Ben Carson would be a "Real Black President."  
 
In defending his former boss, Jones said of Murdoch's news organization "Fox News has done more to undermine President Obama than any news outlet in human history against any president." This news comes a week before Jones is to give back to the community as a key note speaker at the OCCUR Awards.  Read the details of the event that will be hosted by celebrity emcees Devon Franklin and Meagan Good, From Cathy Adams of CDA Consulting Group.  Honorees include Post News Group Publisher, Paul Cobb, Banker Otis Watson, Frederick Hutson, Regina Jackson,
