It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.
The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”
Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”
Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

Thanks for the link.
Proof that the MFM are Soros whores.
Oh Lord, please let it be true!
Andrew Breitbart, if this is your doing, THANK YOU!
Yes, they should. No hesitation or doubt about that.
When I first used dial-up back in the early 90’s I told my husband that if this kind of technology had been available back in the day, the Jews would never have ridden the trains to their deaths. I swore that if the entire world had known of the atrocities that could be done by such evil people the Holocost would never have occurred. He and everyone I spoke to about this agreed. But, here we are now, more information, more resources, more exchange of ideas, and a more perverse and wicked group of people voted in by a majority of total idiots.
JournoList: …Yes, But the Reporters at Pravda Weren’t Such Insufferable A--holes
So did Breitbart give the Journolist archive to Carlson, or did Carlson get it on his own? Does Carlson have the full archive?
Oh, Lord, please let it be so!
Let these scumwads get their just desserts!
Yes the media is biased.
But we knew this.
Heh, the Propaganda Guild is starting to get a bit of uncomfortable scrutiny.
“Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists...”

They’ve been outted...lol
Let's not forget that Goebbels credited the Progressive Movement in America for showing him how to create effective propaganda.
“Kevin Drum, then of Washington Monthly, also disagreed with Ackerman’s strategy. “I think it’s worth keeping in mind that Obama is trying (or says he’s trying) to run a campaign that avoids precisely the kind of thing Spencer is talking about, and turning this into a gutter brawl would probably hurt the Obama brand pretty strongly. After all, why vote for him if it turns out he’s not going change the way politics works?”
But it was Ackerman who had the last word. “Kevin, I’m not saying OBAMA should do this. I’m saying WE should do this.”
Hell, yeah...they did that! And are still doing it!
Where are the Sean Hannity supporters?
He was, not only the first to expose this story...but the only one who kept it alive until the rest of them caught up...even Rush.
When Climategate broke, the only thing that the MSM found worthy of reporting was the theory that someone hacked the University of East Anglia servers to steal the emails. So it was just a sad little story about an evil hacker trying to harm the wonderful climate scientists. The inflammatory content of the emails was ignored altogether.
I bet the MSM will now pull something similar. Probably no reporting until next Saturday, then "Republican Operative Tucker Carlson's Email Theft Threatens Freedom of the Press."
Uh...I hate to ask...but what’s that and is it specifically tied to Obama? I’ve heard things from HillBuzz about Reggie Love...
I bet you're right on the money with that one.
As AB sez, the MFM love whistleblowers, until someone blows the whistle on them or their fellow travelers.
I can totally relate to your frustration. However, what about US, me and you, get off our lazy butts and get the party started? Why not? A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Where do you live? I’m in IL. Let’s get groups together from our respective states and picket outside the news stations. Or something!
ABC = anti-capitalist broadcasting channel
No mention of the Rev’s gay dating service.
