1. The Fourth Estate is a term referring to the press. In this sense the term goes back at least to Thomas Carlyle, who attributed it, possibly erroneously, to a coining by Edmund Burke during a parliamentary debate in 1787 on the opening up of press reporting of the House of Commons.[1] Earlier writers have applied the term to lawyers, to the queen of England, acting on her own account distinct from the power of the king, and to "the mob".Fourth Estate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. Many people generally agree that the fourth estate has immense political and social power, thanks to the fact that the press can be used to shape societies while imparting news of note and commentary of interest.

b. Van Jones was appointed by President Barack Obama in March 2009, to the newly-created position on the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Van Jones was forced to resign when it came to light that he is an avowed communist. According to Politifact:
Beck has repeatedly claimed Jones is a communist. For purposes of a fact-check statement, we selected a Sept. 1, 2009, remark Beck made on his radio program that Jones "is an avowed, self-avowed radical revolutionary communist."
There's little question that Jones was an avowed communist
