Your tax dollars at ‘work’: NPR producer on Journolist mocks Limbaugh’s heart attack
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | Kathy Shaidle

This morning, the Daily Caller rolled out additional damning details from the archives of Journolist, the “missing link” that finally proves the existence of that once mythical creature, Liberalis Medius Biasus.

I remember when everyone from “media guru” Jeff Jarvis to Glenn Beck (as he recalled on the air yesterday) assured us (often with an indulgent chuckle) that while there was some ideological self-selection going on in the makeup of the nation’s newsrooms, hey, it wasn’t like reporters and editors were, you know, calling each other up every morning, plotting about which stories they were going to bury and which conservatives they’d smear today.

That was crazy talk!

Ooops. Turns out, the only thing wrong with that paranoid, nutbar conspiracy theory was the assumption that reporters were still using the phone.

Anyway, here’s a juicy excerpt from the Daily Caller’s new revelations:

If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond? As he clutched his chest in desperation and pain, would you call 911? Would you try to save him from dying? Of course you would.

But if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio, that isn’t what you’d do at all.

In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

At least she got the “maniac” part right.

“This morning, the Daily Caller rolled out additional damning details from the archives of Journolist....”

Limbaugh is certainly capable of defending himself. But the revelations of this ‘Journolist’ are as damning to news coverage as anything I’ve read about media bias and lack of objectivity in reporting, and I fully expect Journolist to be found before much longer to be just the tip of the iceberg.
