Anchor goes deep

CNN commentator Van Jones signed with Jay Z’s Roc Nation this month and told us he’s trying to bridge hip-hop, “geek culture” and politics. “I do feel like I am bringing hip-hop to the news — I am the one that said about Trump, ‘He lied about the lies that he lied about’ — ain’t nobody quoting LL Cool J on the news but me,” he told us after winning a Webby Award on Monday. “I have been consistently trying to bring geek culture, comic-book and hip-hop culture to the news. I do a lot of stuff that you can recognize from hip-hop on the news.” “The Messy Truth” host said of his newly glam representation for a political anchor, “I just feel sexier every day — don't I look a little bit more like Beyoncé?”
