For good reason, I may add.
Silly liberals! Maybe they should pick their enemies more carefully.

The majority of the discussion on the Journolist, a list-serv, started by Erza Klein and consisting of 400 members, most of which involved in journalism and/or the media, regarding Sarah Palin, seemed to be just a bitching session, complaining about John McCain’s pick.
I said the majority, but once again, what the leaked Journolist emails provide everyone, is a look inside the mind of the Left, but more importantly, the minds of media talking heads on the Left.
In some cases it seems the Journolist was used as more than just a “virtual water cooler” to discuss the news, it was also used by it’s members to coordinate a specific message to publish at established mainstream media news outlets which they wrote for.
For example:
Daniel Levy of the Century Foundation noted that Obama’s “non-official campaign” would need to work hard to discredit Palin. “This seems to me like an occasion when the non-official campaign has a big role to play in defining Palin, shaping the terms of the conversation and saying things that the official [Obama] campaign shouldn’t say – very hard-hitting stuff, including some of the things that people have been noting here – scare people about having this woefully inexperienced, no foreign policy/national security/right-wing christia wing-nut a heartbeat away …… bang away at McCain’s age making this unusually significant …. I think people should be replicating some of the not-so-pleasant viral email campaigns that were used against [Obama].”
Obama’s “non-official campaign”.
Think about that for a second, members in that thread, journalists from publications such as Bloomberg News, The Politico, CNN’s TIME, The New Yorker, Nation, Mother Jones, New America Foundation, Human Rights Watch, discussing Sarah Palin and just how to approach negating her impact on Hillary Clinton supporters and on Obama’s campaign.

She scared them, that’s why. Now......she scares them even more.
For good reason, I may add.
The State Run Media is upset that Sharron Angle in Nevada is not giving interviews, this is precisely the justification for not doing so, allowing the media to paint her in a destructive manner, part of her campaign strategy should be to point it out and make the media defend itself.
is there a list of the 500 ppl on the list? We NEED TO NAME NAMES! Alinksy tactic. Just shaming journalist is not enough. Noone knows what or who it is. We need NAMES AND FACES
“But in many other exchanges, the Journolisters clearly had another, more partisan goal in mind: to formulate the most effective talking points in order to defeat Palin and McCain and help elect Barack Obama president. The tone was more campaign headquarters than newsroom.”
The mainstream media is defined as a propaganda arm of the DNC and the left wing Obama Administration.
This is just starting to sink into the national consciousness. No wonder they are throwing spitballs from racism to Sherrod to Fox to everything else trying to deflect the obvious:
WE HAVE NO FREE AND INDEPENDENT MAINSTREAM NEWS.
Is there a complete list of these Journolisters.
We need to check any writers against the list. Then we will KNOW their bias BEFORE we choose to read anything they have to say.
Sarah Palin should sue,if for no other reason than to obtain the names.
“WE HAVE NO FREE AND INDEPENDENT MAINSTREAM NEWS.”
...and if we have no free media and objective information and news, our freedom is greatly limited.
here is a partial list
I haven’t seen a list yet. And I don’t know if anyone is compiling one...
I’d bet we could name a lot of them from memory if we just started listing the worst Obama kiss-ups in the industry...
For good reason, I may add.
Silly liberals! Maybe they should pick their enemies more carefully.
If is isn’t “off the record” it is on the record. Har har har.
Isn’t there a law that “in kind” political contributions need to be reported?
Seems to me that a co-ordinted attack on Palin, and a co-ordinated boost of Obama in the media is exactly what is meant by an “in-kind” contribution.
We need some conservative lawyers and investigators.
The fines for this might bankrupt the so-called mainstream media.
That's why the program called “ABLE DANGAER” worked.
It found patterns in information that was in the public domain. It work out the patterns, work the patterns down and was able to put a face and a name to who was creating the patterns.
Several years ago the Bush adm, translated, declassified, and made public some of the al Quada docs. recovered in Afghanistan.
As generally happens in these cases, somebody screwed up. What they thought was a completely irrelevant doc. was in reality the “Rosetta Stone” of the terrorist attacks.
With that doc. anyone above the level of idiot can figure out when a terrorist attack is coming down the pike.
The doc. was a letter from OBL to Mullah Omar. It was listed as doc. #AFGP-2002-600321 in the now removed Harmony database.
In the doc. OBL made a passing comment to the affect, The news is 90% of the preparation for the battle.
If you have a small scale attack, you can carry out the attack based on what is in the news, for a large scale attack you can't, you have to orchestrate the news for it.
From OBL himself, our esteemed news media, our FOURTH ESTATE, is OBL’s fifth column making preparation for the attack.
Want to know when a terrorist attack is coming down the pike?
All you've got to do is work out a PATTERN of the orchestrated news stories that have occurred prior to the previous terrorist attacks. First you work out a pattern to each individual attack, then work out a pattern collectively.
When that pattern of orchestrated news appears, BINGO! You've got a terrorist attack coming down the pike.
Because there is a pattern to the orchestrated news stories, you can use the same principles of ABLE DANGER and work the pattern down to exactly who is responsible for creating the pattern. Again, first individually, then collectively.
You now have the face and the name of who it is collaborating with the terrorist. Or to be more precise, who it is the terrorist are working for.
Before some idiot tries to accuse me of blaming Bush for collaborating with the terrorist, let me remind you Journolist has confirmed beyond any doubt, news stories are being orchestrated for the left benefit.
