The year was 2004 and the campaign season was in full swing. In October, a Freeper who goes by the handle of MD4Bush began making posts on Free Republic urging Republicans to "play dirty" in the 2004 election.
Scandal ensued as it was discovered that MD4Bush was actually a Democrat operative and assistant to Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley. But this story isn’t about Ryan O'Doherty, MD4Bush’s Clark Kent. If you want to read that story, click here.
Instead, our journey takes us to the Washington Post reporter who just happened to stumble upon the MD4Bush posts and protected the identity of O’Doherty. That reporter was Matthew Mosk.
Flash forward to 2008. Mosk once again seems to be using his journalist position to attempt to influence elections. In this case, writing false stories about John McCain.
Today, Matthew Mosk is at the ABC continuing to play journalist while instead using his position to smear Conservatives.
While Matthew Mosk has not been officially revealed as a member of the Journolist 400, his actions and history suggest at least the propensity towards journalistic activism, not just passive bias. Mosk has also been associated with many of those who have been revealed as Journolist 400 members such as David Weigel who was at the Washington Post the same time as Mosk. Most importantly to the Matthew Mosk connection, Ezra Klein of the Washington Post was one of the original Journolist members and worked in the same office with Matthew Mosk.
The tentacles reached back to the Washington Post and it seems, some of that hydra monster even impacted Free Republic.
Now is the time for Freepers to do what they do best, research. Was Matthew Mosk one of the Journolist 400? Was the MD4Bush one of the first attacks by Journolist members?
You too? Hahhahha. Same. Boy, that seems like a lifetime ago.
Well this is interesting, Mosk is the journalist leading the attacks against Beck’s advertisers such as Gold Line.
Mosk is also the guy who ‘exposed’ Vitter’s affair.

...and Mosk tried to float an affair story about Michael Steele.
Just kidding....kind of....
..and Mosk was DEEP in the Danielle Allen/Obama email claims regarding Freep “Obama is a Muslim” email.

WOW
I’m a skeptic about Obama’s birth in Hawaiian hospital scenario.
Go to the Baltimore Sun's forums and ask that question.
Your existence there will be about the half-life of Darmstadtium.
A few points about this:
- Ezra Klein was the owner of Journolist, not just a member.
- There is a quite serious effort to get hold of the memberlist (I think a substantial reward is involved).
- There is at least one other list like Journolist, the Cabalist.
- There is at least one other list like Journolist but different?, in that it comprises press, officials, researchers, and law enforcement. One of the more prominent organizations on that list is the SPLC. But it contains State officials, judges, and organizations like this: http://www.irehr.org/. This list is old and has been going for at least ten years. Around 500 members.
Regarding the reward, I believe Breitbart withdrew it earlier this week. It is rumored that Tucker Carlson has a copy and that is why stuff is slowly coming out.
Here's the little turd...
Lol. Figured somebody probably had some good data :).
PING
How long before FR found this guy out?
You know who else I think might be on the list is Radley Balko. He use to work at Reason magazine with Weigel, and often out of left field he’ll start bashing Republicans. He has been very defensive since this Journolist stuff started coming out.
