“Thank you! Ill correct that in the next post, where I expect to add their organizations next to their names.
Since you posted on this thread, youll be pinged when I have more information.”
Nice! Great job on this, btw.
Santa Carlson. Bwahaha! That’s funny. Thanks for the info. I’ll add it to the list.
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...
It reads like a liars list.
Any links to posts he made? Ill 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.
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.
Krugman. Shocked. NOT.
Exactly. The Internet is forever. We'll find the information.
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.
Great job.
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.
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.
...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.
Good job. Thanks for posting this.
You mean, they're neocoms?
(As "neocons" is considered in some circles to be code for conservative, and therefore purportedly, "self-hating", Jews?)
Cheers!
No, I'm fairly confident they're communists of the full-fledged, card-carrying type. Old school communists, if you will.
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....."
Way to go!
