Be kool if some IT geek with access to one of the host machines copied the archive. All the journos get screwed, but none get paid.

I think he’s looking for an archive of all the messages/emails posted to the Google Group “JournoList.” The problem with that is that the list was by invitation only and evolved over time. So only the original members of the group would have access to all of the messages. And I’m guessing that core group of members won’t disclose anything.

Correction: Breitbart wants both a list of names and the contents.

“We want the list of journalists that comprised the 400 members of the ‘JournoList’ and we want the contents of the listserv.” ~Breitbart

The collusion in the media is maddening. When lies get repeated over and over again by every member of the alphabet network, you KNOW there has to be collusion.

There is collusion - and the mechanism for it is hiding in plain sight.
Journalism as we know it traces back only to the founding of the Associated Press in 1848.
Before the telegraph and the Associated Press newswire, newspapers were fractiously independent of each other - they were in actual ideological competitionwith each other.

After the Civil War era, newswire journalism homogenized journalism by the simple mechanism of making it financially necessary to promote the conceit that journalism is objective. They had to promote that idea, because they were paying big bucks for the reports coming over the wire, and if the objectivity of the reports is not taken for granted, the reports themselves are not valuable. If it is, then the newswire has been golden.

It is the nature of the newswire business model which homogenizes journalism. It is also the fact that when anyone seriously attempts to be objective, the first thing they must do is examine themselves and their incentives to attempt to figure out why they might in fact not be objective. Since that is the opposite of claiming upfront actually to be objective, journalism's claims to objectivity are self-falsifying.

You might it it calibrated there, hope he has protection.

If Breitbart gets it, it would be interesting to compare news stories from various sources with ideas put forth on the list.

Interesting.

Here’s the 6/29 thread, just in case there’s some comments and/or links of interest here.

I did search before I posted what turns out to be a duplicate here ( Searched "Reward" 3 times and it didn't come up! Yech!)

Thanks!

[hennie pennie]

Next time, be sure to search on ONE word which is NOT attached to a semicolon - the punctuation marks frequently mess up the search, so 'REWARD' will not return "reward:"

And too, there simply are times when Search Engines FAIL.

LOL
