Brother of Journolist – Secretive Leftwing Network Redux

Well, it looks like the Progressive lapdog media has been colluding again.

Media Trackers, a site that tracks media stories and works for transparency in government, uncovered a group with over 1,000 members that is literally a who’s who of the Progressive Left in media. And I would wager, it is only the tip of the iceberg out there — I am sure that the collaboration is widespread and well-organized. 

The group is called Gamechanger Salon and boasts members that include a CNN commentator, the top two political reporters for The Huffington Post, a Reuters reporter, the editor of The Nation magazine, a producer for Al Jazeera America television, a U.S. News & World Report columnist and approximately two dozen Huffington Post contributors. Conservatives need not apply. The group was founded by Billy Wimsatt, a dedicated Leftist and activist. 

It is a digital group that corresponds with one another on topics of the day and until now, was secretive. Writers, opinion leaders, activists and political pundits all share strategy, information and ideas through a closed Google group. How cozy.

The real question is how many DNC and White House officials are also members of the group.

Progression of a Meme:

MediaMatters or some left-wing Lobbyist group decides what the meme of the day is going to be, and floats it as a diary, in the evening, on Daily Kos. It is driven up in “favorites” by controlled sockpuppet ID’s, giving the impression that it is “Popular”, and so it is picked up by the Metacrawlers for the search engines.

You can literally watch the meme develop on Twitter, as hundreds of sockpuppet ID’s all start tweeting the exact same words, over the space on several minutes.

This then gets retweeted by even more sockpuppets, giving the impression of a “trend” in Opinion. The same thing happens on Facebook. It is effective because so many don’t actually know the people they friend, or follow them on Twitter.

(There are left-wing “Opinion management” firms that specialize in this stuff, and it is all done with the touch of key. Some of these firms control MILLIONS of sockpuppets on Twitter and Facebook.)

MediaMatters coordinates the Journo-listers/”Gamechangers” through texts, and emails, so that by morning, most of the talking heads are all saying the same thing, while others direct assets to “Cover” this “trending news” in the morning planning meeting, so that all of the rest of the talking heads are on the same page.

I followed several of these meme developments during the 2012 elections, and am still amazed at how out-in-the-open this stuff is, yet no one in the major media dares to discuss it.

They won’t expose the scam if they are part of it or sympathetic to it.

You have to be invited.

If they don’t know you in real life as part of the leftwing Hive you won’t get invited.

“You have to be invited. If they don’t know you in real life as part of the leftwing Hive you won’t get invited.”

Funny how this list closely matches Tina Brown’s Manhattan party lists, doesn’t it?

Hmmmmm. I have a server, and I have the software. We used to run a chat server for several years back in the late 90s. In fact, we used the chat server back in ‘97 to organize the March for Justice, pushing for the impeachment of Clinton. Bob Barr credited us with pushing the House to IMPEACH the dirtbag. Maybe I should activate that chat server once again. What do you think, Jim?

It’s not the News Reports, it’s who decides what News to Report.

Pretty smart of this Administration to protect themselves by giving high-up WH advisory jobs to spouses of MSM. They are protecting their jobs over the country.

For you out-of-towners ABC and the Washington Post are one and the same

GUESS WHO IS MARRIED TO WHO

Now we know part of the reasons that ABC will not say anything negative against Obama.

Did you know these connections?

ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.

CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former White H ouse Press Secretary Jay Carney

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary

ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood

CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.

And now you know why it is no surprise the media is in Obama’s pocket.
