On this weekend's Fox News Watch, panelist Jim Pinkerton proposed a simple way to clear up much of the murk surrounding JournoList. Let the Washington Post respond to the 20 questions about the matter that MRC head Brent Bozell has posed to the Post's executive editor, Marcus Brauchli, in an open letter.
JournoList was created by lefty blogger Ezra Klein in 2007, who continued to run it after becoming a Post staffer in 2009.
Responding to Pinkerton's proposal, Newsday columnist Ellis Henican, a liberal member of the News Watch panel, swung and missed at Bozell . . .

Answer the darn questions, WaPo! Ping to Today show list.
They really don't come any more morally or ethically bankrupt
.
If this was a Republican list the leftist media would STILL be having multiple orgasms and demanding more, 24/7, for days and weeks and months until all theses reporters were hounded out of business.
It would be their 1,000% indisputable evidence of the ‘vast right wing conspiracy’ they always claim existed.
But it is liberals, so it is OK...
AND to carry that further.. if this was a republican list they leftist media would be ASSISTING THE GOVERNMENT in outlawing FOX news and any dissenting media.
IT would be used to dismantle the first ammendment
Ezra Klein, founder of Journolist:
A columnist for Newsweek !!!
A blogger for the Washington Post !!!
Good ol' Ezra Klein wrote on Twitter the following about much beloved Tim Russert:
f*** tim russert. f*** him with a spiky acid-tipped dick.
What a great guy, Journolist Founder !!!

Main article: JournoList
In February 2007 Klein created a Google Groups forum called "JournoList" for discussing politics and the news media. The forum's membership was controlled by Klein and limited to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics."[16]
Posts within JournoList were intended only be made and read by its members.[17] Klein defended the forum saying that it "[ensures] that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reactions". JournoList member, and
Time magazine columnist, Joe Klein added that the off-the-record nature of the forum was necessary because “candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private”.[16]
Ezra Klein (born May 9, 1984) is an American blogger for the Washington Post and a columnist for Newsweek. He was formerly an associate editor for The American Prospect political magazine and an American liberal[1] political blogger at the same publication.[2]
“did you know what Ezra Klein was doing? Is this in keeping with theWashington Post ethics code?” and so on. He could answer all those questions and put this whole thing to bed.
I would like to know why CNN continues to have Jeffrey Toobin on as an analyst given his membership in journOlist.
The burning question I have is why none of these people were able think for themselves without needing the whole range of libs to think for them?

creepy
For those who do not know what kayfabe is, google it -- it describes to a tee what the news media has been about, and the Journolist stuff proves it.
kayfabe - perfect!
The journolist is nor the only “Journolist” out there, there are other pl;aces where these fascist Fifth Columnists gather to plot their conspiracies of media control. They should all be hunted down and exposed by name, motives and methods.
The (ex)MSM is rife with leftist propaganda rats, force feeding us “progressive” LIES.
by keeping these conversations private”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What dummies! Nothing on the Internet is “private”.
L$M!!!
For example: "Responding to Pinkerton's proposal, Newsday columnist Ellis Henican, a liberal member of the News Watch panel and a suspected member of Journolist, swung and missed at Bozell..."
I can’t watch Ellis Henny-can because he makes my blood boil. Who the Hell is he, what’s his background, and what are his qualifications to opine about anything?
How ever did Ellis miss the point made by Pinkerton AND Bozell? Of course, we know he didn’t.
It wasn’t setting Bozell up ‘to be the judge on this,’ but rather Brauchli at the WaPo. Typical lefty spin.
