As for the Journolist project itself, I found it to be a great resource. Extremely smart people engaging in policy debates on the stories of the day. There was no plotting and very little rah-rah rally-the-crowd cheerleading. Debate among members was often quite vigorous, and occasionally even personal. It was not a conspiracy. It was a forum. A members-only coffee shop where people who take ideas seriously, who want access to people who take ideas seriously, could test their own ideas before they refined and presented them to the public. As a reporter, I learned a lot about a lot of subjects. It was an enormous resource, and I’ll miss it.
Thank you very much. I’ll add Marc Ambinder to the list.
Thank you for compiling the list.
Here’s a thought - The kind of information you are generating here is the kind of thing that really needs to go into Discover the Networks, one of David Horowitz’s sites.
http://discoverthenetworks.org/
In general, I’ve always though we conservatives needed a way to load more data into that site and make it more of a working tool. It tends to be a bit static is my criticism of it.
Do we know of anyone here who knows him or anyone in his organization?
What a surprise... NOT!
Holy jumpin’ Jesus!
You hit the mother lode of leftist political douche bags!
GREAT JOB!
Awesome! I’ll update the list.
Not many people realize that for a short time Jeffrey Toobin actually became a freeper and was soliciting input from freeps about the Monica Scandal —a long time ago.
I recall that he was doing that for about 2 weeks or so.
I don’t know if he simply quit, or was banned, no idea.
I remember it clearly, though.
I understand your point, but it’s really not surprising is it, when you consider that secular American Jews vote consistently Democrat? Look also at the ACLU to find an abundance of secular Jewish lawyers.
BUT, on our side, we have the premiere Jewish writers, pundits and lawyers, and I’ll take ours over theirs every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Journalism schools are the pits of the evil. Mushy heads are filled with Marxist hate.
The new media is taking over, and it’s OURS, provided we can keep our Republic.
Legal Insurrection has a picture of a group of Journolister at a WH briefing called after the election by Journolister Jared bernstein who went to work for Biden.
Among the attendees is Oliver willis. I emailed him and asked if he was a member but got back a non-answer. It is certainly possible he was one of the journolisters.
A who’se who of a-holes.
Well stated, Nachum! I wish I would have read your comments before I tried to answer. ALL the journOlists on the list are snakes who literally set out to destroy a genuine and decent, American patriot and mom, the Governor of Alaska for no other reason than to hand the election to their Marxist comrade, Obama. G-d save our Republic and G-d bless and protect Sarah Palin and her precious family.
Wow, this is utter crap, where do I start. I'll keep it short. Liberal American Jews are as you say above. That said, I was converted into Conservativism by American Jews. Some of America's great conservatives are Jews. Its not a trivial number of Jews either.
