    The American Thinker ^ | August 11, 2010 | Jed Gladstein
    For those who don't pay attention to how America's mainstream media actually functions nowadays, the recent JournoList scandal may prove a bit shocking. JournoList was a listserv[1] created by Ezra Klein, a sanctimonious young man who regularly appears on MSNBC. Mr. Klein writes for the Washington Post, which owns the JournoList email archive. According to Mr. Klein, the JournoList forum was created for members of the mainstream media as a "wonkish, [2] fun, political yelling match." During its existence, it accumulated tens of thousands of emails from its roughly 400 participants. Recently, it was discontinued when its contents were leaked...

    Conservatives have long claimed that the media is biased against them and tries hard to shape stories in ways that help Democrats and hurt Republicans. This has sometimes been dismissed as paranoia - as in my former MSNBC co-blogger Eric Alterman's book, "What Liberal Media?" - but it turns out to be truer than they imagined. If this were a Hollywood movie, there would have been clandestine meetings in basements or bars or parking garages. But since it was real life, it was just an e-mail list, called "JournoList," set up by the Washington Post's Ezra Klein. It had over...

  • 'Journolist' Affair Worse Than Clinton Conspiracy

    07/23/2010 11:54:37 PM PDT · by Def Conservative · 47 replies
    Today's journalism scandal involving liberal media members of the invitation-only "Journolist" listserv discussing ways to help 2008 presidential candidate Barack Obama or discredit his press critics is far more organized than the Clinton era "vast right-wing media conspiracy," according to former Clinton aides. While the two media conspiracies have been compared since the listserv E-mails started appearing on the Daily Caller website, former Clinton aides say that there is one major difference between the two. Unlike the current scandal, reporters with conservative media back in the 1990s were competitive and didn't share story ideas. What's more, the Journolist affair threatens...

  • When McCain picked Palin, liberal journalists coordinated the best line of attack

    Daily Caller ^ | 07/22/2010 | Jonathan Strong
    In the hours after Sen. John McCain announced his choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate in the last presidential race, members of an online forum called Journolist struggled to make sense of the pick. Many of them were liberal reporters, and in some cases their comments reflected a journalist’s instinct to figure out the meaning of a story. But in many other exchanges, the Journolisters clearly had another, more partisan goal in mind: to formulate the most effective talking points in order to defeat Palin and McCain and help elect Barack Obama president. The tone...

    The Washington Examiner ^ | 07/21/2010 | Byron York
    f any large publication stands to suffer from the JournoList controversy, it’s the Washington Post. The paper hired JournoList founder Ezra Klein from the left-wing publication The American Prospect, and Klein continued to run JournoList while at the Post. In June, the paper quickly accepted the resignation of David Weigel, whom it hired from the left-wing publication The Washington Independent, over comments made on JournoList. (Klein announced he was shutting down the list-serv shortly thereafter.) It is not known whether other Post writers, some of whom also came to the paper from left-wing publications, took part in JournoList; I have...
  • New Liberal Spin on Why Voters May Vote for GOP in Midterm: They’re “Schizophrenic” – Video

    Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | July 14, 2010 | Brian
    Here’s the new spin on why voters may be about to vote for the GOP in the Midterm Election – They are “Schizophrenic.” So says Newsweek’s Ezra Klein to a man who ought to know about such things – MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. Klein argues that we have a “schizophrenic voter population” right now who supposedly trust Democrats more on issues but are going to vote for the GOP in the Fall. After what the Democrats have done with their power over the last couple of years, I think Klein is “whistling past the graveyard” if he thinks voters trust Democrats....

    I do not understand how this bill will affect my family and me. I am a self-employed single mother. I cannot afford health care for myself and my children. I made $38,000 last year and I expect to make less than $35,000 this year. What does this health care reform mean for me? Will I be able to get coverage for my children and myself in this first year?

    NewsBusters ^ | March 21, 2010 | Jeff Poor
    The Washington Post's Ezra Klein has some doubts about those who oppose abortion on moral, religious or ethical grounds. Apparently to him, it's just an anti-class issue in which the poor are locked out of abortion. Klein appeared on MSNBC's March 21 special coverage of the House's debate about health care reform which was prelude to the body's final vote on the legislation. According to Klein, despite the language in this bill with so-called "family planning" provisions and its questions about a presidential executive order restricting them, abortions will actually go down with ObamaCare. ...more (w/video)...

    In an article titled "Page 16 of the House Health-Care Bill Does Not Make Insurance Illegal The Washington Compost's "rising star" on various things tries to take on the claim about how page 16 doesn't really make private individual coverage illegal. I knew this was false for two reasons: 1: Ezra didn't give you the text of the bill. That right there is a tip off. If you wish to see the text of page 16, take a look here at a more honest conservative media outlet. Page 94 of the newer house bill contains virtually the same language. 2:...

    Return to the Article February 16, 2010Liberals Say U.S. Is Ungovernable. Again.By Christopher Chantrill Liberals are at it again. They are worrying that the U.S. is "ungovernable." Political scientist Jay Cost has the details: Ezra Klein argued that it was time to reform the filibuster because the government cannot function with it intact anymore. Tom Friedman suggested that America's "political instability" was making people abroad nervous. And Michael Cohen of Newsweek blamed "obstructionist Republicans," "spineless Democrats," and an "incoherent public" for the problem. Liberals were saying exactly the same thing in 1980, thirty years ago, in the darkest days...

    California's Scary Sneak Preview By Ezra Klein Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, January 3, 2010 We Californians pride ourselves on the crystal-ball quality of our state. Auto emissions regulations, the tech boom and bust, Ronald Reagan, Hispanic immigration, the anti-tax revolt, the mortgage bubble, the struggle for gay rights, most movies, the popularity of Richard Nixon, the unpopularity of Richard Nixon, plastic surgery, and Tiger Woods's marital problems were all tested in the Golden State before being released to audiences nationwide. The next likely item on that list is not a happy one, however. California is in a total fiscal...

    Washington Compost ^ | July 23rd | Ezra Klein
    There's been a weird talking point bubbling up that the House health-care plan makes private insurance -- sigh -- illegal. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, who breathes out crazy like the rest of us exhale carbon dioxide, warns that "on the 16th page, it says whatever health care you have now, it’s going to be gone within five years." Investor's Business Daily says, "right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal." Sigh. Not really. Shadowfax does the lord's work and explains what's actually going on here. The short version is that your insurance doesn't become illegal....
