“Thank you! I’ll correct that in the next post, where I expect to add their organizations next to their names.

Since you posted on this thread, you’ll be pinged when I have more information.”

Nice! Great job on this, btw.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Santa Carlson. Bwahaha! That’s funny. Thanks for the info. I’ll add it to the list.

[Wingy]

With the exception of Toobin - who is a CNN legal analyst - I don't see any television journos on that list. Does anyone else?

The big guys, TV folks, Network news groups, and "name" reporters from NYT, WaPo, LA T, probably have their own list serve going. When Breitbart dropped the tape on Sherrod the other day, I don't think the word got around from Joe Klein.

The web is very big, people. We just have to look in the dark corners and who knows what names will show up...

[BamaAndy]

It reads like a liars list.

[meyer]

Krugman - the psuedo-economist hack is almost a given on any socialist-worshipping list.

[meyer]

Paul Krugman?

Any links to posts he made? I’ll bet that weasel has his fingerprints on something damning.

Every one of his union-loving freeloader-pleasing commie columns is pretty damning IMHO. He should sue the university that gave him his education in economics - he certainly didn't get his money's worth.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I’m trying to compile a list of all of the organizations for which these partisan hacks worked during the timeframe that JournoList existed, which began in 2007.

[rintense]

Krugman. Shocked. NOT.

[BuckeyeTexan]

The web is very big, people. We just have to look in the dark corners and who knows what names will show up ...

Exactly. The Internet is forever. We'll find the information.

[airborne]

Might be easier to compile a list of media members who ARE NOT part of the socialist plan.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Yep. It’s a daunting task, no doubt. I have confidence in my fellow freepers. With many of us digging, we’ll find the information.

[Madame Dufarge]

Great job.

[UCANSEE2]

And I hate to say it, but there seems to be a HIGHLY disproportionate percentage of Jewish people - or at least people with Jewish sounding names - on that list. Just an observation, not intended to be antisemitic in any way. Of course, I would imagine that if they are Jewish, they're probably JINOS - Jews in name only.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I didn't know quite how to express it.

You did a wonderful job.

Thanks.

I think that there may be more young Jewish men in journalism, for much the same reason there are more young Jewish men in drama on TV and in MOVIES.

They seem to be good at it.

[OldDeckHand]

"They seem to be good at it. "

That's probably true. The American Jewish community, and the broader Jewish Diaspora has a rich history of placing a cultural premium on education, very much like the Asian immigrants to the US in the last half of the 20th Century.

If you go to any engineering, medical or law school today, you might notice a great percentage of Asian students, so much so Asians have felt a bit of quiet discrimination with college admittance - some colleges don't want to be seen as too Asian, allegedly. It's creating a bit of resentment amongst Asians, who want to (rightfully) be judged on their merit, and not their race.

In any event, while I'm sure there are other intellectually valid reasons why there are "so many Jews in journalism", the percentage on that list still made me say, "What". I'm sure we both would have said the same thing if the list was comprised of a large percentage of easily recognizable Irish names, or Italian names.

[OldDeckHand]

I meant to add to my first paragraph....

...that the one other thing almost all these names have in common isn't their ethnicity, but their blue-chip education. Most of these people went to top-50 schools.

That in and of itself is probably also bad. Perhaps these major media organizations might look to do some active recruiting in the schools of the less privileged. I'm sure Ohio State and the University of Georgia have competent J-schools. It would be nice to see the NY Times and WaPo hire a few kids from their. A little more "diversity" couldn't hurt.

[Bigg Red]

Good job. Thanks for posting this.

[grey_whiskers]

Just an observation, not intended to be antisemitic in any way. Of course, I would imagine that if they are Jewish, they're probably JINOS - Jews in name only.

You mean, they're neocoms?

(As "neocons" is considered in some circles to be code for conservative, and therefore purportedly, "self-hating", Jews?)

Cheers!

[OldDeckHand]

"You mean, they're neocoms?

No, I'm fairly confident they're communists of the full-fledged, card-carrying type. Old school communists, if you will.

I’m trying to compile a list of all of the organizations for which these partisan hacks worked during the timeframe that JournoList existed, which began in 2007.

Which raises the interesting question, what were they using to coordinate coverage and message before that?

Limbaugh had video clips on his TV show back in 1993/4 showing Dem pols using the exact same code phrases over and over to get Message out ..... the press started doing it about the same time. Remember "Clinton haters"? Coined by a dronette at TIME in late summer 1995, about the same time that journoRats started dropping the "G-bomb", "gravitas", all over media, which was code for, "The Pubbies have got to nominate Bob Dole ..... because Bob Dole test-markets as the weakest Pubbie opposite Clinton in Dick Morris's Chinese-bankrolled focus groups....."

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Way to go!
