Journolist flap shows conservative media conspiracy, not liberal one

That's the real story behind the Journolist flap, no matter what you've read to the contrary on news sites, reputable or otherwise.

Consider today's lead story on the Daily Caller, the conservative site that's led the charge on the J-list "scandal." The story "exposes" a J-List thread in which the topic of some kind of journalistic coordination came up. It has this huge headline:

So the left believes that any time we find out what they’re doing, it’s a conpsiracy on our part.

Fascinating.

No. Intentional.

The MSM act as groupthink mindguards. Their job (and they do it well) is to keep their audience (group members) from reassessing their assumptions.

When clear evidence threatens group cohesiveness, the mindguards step with "alternative" explainations when full censorship becomes impossible.

From the comments, and this is a mild one;
“The Vast Majority of MSM is owned By Large Right Wing Corporate Types.

They are closer to being Christo Fascists than to ever being Progressive Media Operations. They have completely taken over all talk radio.

There are no liberal equivalents to The Big Fat Pillbilly, Raw Insanity, Beck and call toward Racists, or Big O’Lie Easily.

The Right Wing Owns all the stations, and will only carry the voices of The Right Wing Hate Mongers.

“Liberal Media” is just a Big Lie Propagated By The Right Wing Propagandists Who Control The Air Waves.”

All bid rigging meetings by suppliers and contractors, strike coordinations outside that termed legal by the NLRB, coordination of efforts in restraint of trade, and similar conspiracies are all depicted as harmless information sharing meetings with high noble purposes.

Those that discover, expose and try to limit such disruptions of general order in business or property are termed Gestapo or worse. General order is a sensible use of government and society.

Journalists are long past reporting and selling a publication with such reports. They now “create” a message transported by a medium and they wish to manage that Product.

WaPo has lost the plot if this guy is still employed there after the November election cycle.

Also, widely disseminated factual discrediting of your biased conspirator staffs’ professionalism being covered-up in house by fellow ideologue propagandists in an echo chamber does not bring in paying customers...

I wonder if the person who wrote this thinks that it is 1940 and talk radio is the only medium by which people can communicate to mass audiences?

TV, “news” media, and even internt via things like Yahoo and Google are DOMINATED by leftists. I’m sure that hasn’t occurred to that writer though. To him, it’s still 1940 and people still gather round the ol’ radio to listen to the weekly stories....

Sadly, it doesn't matter, his motivation is to impress the ruling class he so desparately yearns to be part of. Any circulation greater than zero is acceptable.

They're not in it for profit, they're in it to advance a marxist/socialist takeover.

He'll probably get a Pulitzer.

White is black.

It is so because we say so. Accept it.

Where is wikileaks on this? Nowhere to be seen. I'm sure these same journ0listas are conspiring on yet another listserve. This is a classic "change the focus" tactic. If the facts make you look bad, change the subject, and attack, attack, attack.

We need to realize that "attack, attack, attack" is the new mantra of the hard left (i.e. communists) and that reasoning with these useful idiots is a waste of time.

Amazing. No matter how many actual lib conspiracies uncovered, it always comes back to the mythical, magical Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.
