For a long time, while the bias in the media has always been obvious, I’ve always assumed that it was something in the water around the media coolers — that these people all lived in a self-reinforcing cocoon, marinating in confirmation bias, in which the correct attitudes were subtly rewarded and the incorrect ones not-so-subtly punished. If someone had told me that they actively conspired to drive the message, trumpet and even make up stories that served their narrative, and suppress those that didn’t, or undermined it, I would have said that it was both unnecessary and that even they weren’t that stupid.

But now, even without Breitbart having to pay the hundred Gs, the contents of the JournoList are starting to dribble out, and it’s not a pretty picture.

During the campaign, it almost looked as though there were a media conspiracy to avoid discussion of Jeremiah Wright. Well, now we know why. Simply put, there literally was.

This is a STUNNIG development

We need to track down EVERY ONE PRESENT on that JournoList and confront them with their lies and deception, and they should be REMOVED FROM THE MEDIA

We have reached the final days of Nero. Where he no longer had any “real” enemies so he had to create enemies in his mind. And in a perverse way through his excess created real enemies. Likewise when Obama took power he was virtually uncontested. But by his vitriol accusing everyone of being the fraudulent enemies of a racist or a profiteer or a class criminal he has created real enemies.

And Democrats belong to the party of genocide. They have no problems giving millions to Planned Parenthood, so that they can kill black babies.

More accurate to call them tools of the Statism Lite Party.

Well, Karl Rove has talked in front of racist organizations like La Raza in the past.

From a decent guy to a racist in a split second? Just say you disagree with the glorious leader Obama on some policy issues and point to some facts that support your position.
