and America takes another one in the........
Posted on 07/25/2010 3:10:50 AM PDT by Scanian
In 2007, when Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein founded JournoList, an online gathering place for several hundred liberal journalists, academics and political activists, he imagined a discussion group that would connect young writers to top sources.
But in the heat of a bitter presidential campaign in 2008, the list’s discussions veered into collusion and coordination at key political moments, documents revealed this week by The Daily Caller show.
In a key episode, JournoList members openly plotted to bury attention on then-candidate Barack Obama’s controversial pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The Washington Independent’s Spencer Ackerman, for instance, suggested an effective tactic to distract from the issue would be to pick one of Obama’s critics, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”
Conservative critics of Washington’s journalistic establishment have long charged the media with a striking liberal bias. But those critics have also said the problem was mostly unintentional, the result of a press corps made up mostly of Democratic-leaning scribes.
Yet JournoList’s discussions show an influential left-wing faction of the media participating in a far more intentional sort of liberal bias.
JournoList’s members included dozens of straight-news reporters from major news organizations, including Time, Newsweek, The Associated Press, Reuters, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, Bloomberg, Huffington Post, PBS and a large NPR affiliate in California.

It has often been said that the MSM (or State-Run media) is an extension of the Democrat Party/Marxist Axis and serves as their public relations arm.
I believe it is the other way ‘round.
The Democrat Party/Marxist Axis is the political arm of the MSM.

Actually, in terms of campaign finance laws, if the vast resources of the networks news divisions are turned into propaganda arms for a particular candidate -- at no charge, then, yes, I think laws have been broken.
Agreed

See my post #27. There are plenty of heavy hitters on the list. These are not "young reporter wannabes." The Politico is a prime example.
Teens arrive at college utterly and completely incapable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles, and they enter college already ignorant of and antagonist to capitalism!
The way to fix our colleges is to have classrooms filled to the brim with youth who are capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles. That can come about if two things happen:
1) Massive spiritual revival for the adults.
2) Shut down the godless and socialist-modeled government schools! Get our nation's children into PRIVATE, conservative, Judeo Christian K-12 schools that fully integrate the family's beliefs into every minute of the school day.
Do the above, fill our college classes with youth capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles, and their Marxist professors will wither before their righteousness. Our colleges will be filled with Christian and conservative clubs. Within a few years these youth will, themselves, be professors and leaders of our cultural institutions.
That our youth are poorly educated happens in the home and in our socialist-modeled and godless government K-12 schools! Can we blame their parents ( and grandparents and great-grandparents) who have also been indoctrinated in godless and socialist-modeled government K-12 schools?
From the very first day that the first government K-12 schools opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900s children learned to be comfortable with socialism merely by attending their socialist-funded government school! These children learned that the government had enormous power to take money from a neighbor to pay for a service their parents wanted for tuition-free.
Well?...If government can use its police power to take money from a neighbor for "free" schools, why not FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, or now Obamacare?
As for godlessness, government schools have been essentially godless in their worldview since the days of my paternal grandmother ( born 1894). Even at their best, when they first opened, government schools of the mid-1800s offered up a lukewarm and generic Protestantism? ( We know what Christ does with the lukewarm.) There was a HUGE difference between the education of my paternal grandmother and father and that enjoyed by my mother and my maternal grandmother in their Catholic parochial schools. My paternal grandmother and father may have had a sprinkling of prayer and scripture in the morning but the rest of their day their curriculum was godless. ( I will grant, though, that the godless curriculum that my father and grandmother were subjected to was softened somewhat by the Christian worldview of their teachers.)
We need revival for the adults. We must shut down our godless and socialist government K-12 schools. We must get our nation's children into private, conservative, and Judeo Christian schools.
Young for the most part but they got expert mentoring from the Conason’s and Klein’s.
With those crums, it’s always about race — unless it’s about sex. Frequently the twisted, perverted type.
I posted one here the middle of last week—it was actually an American Thinker article by Clarice Feldman, if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t rememer the title of the post but you can check my posting history or Clarice Feldman’s archive on AT.
Few recognizable names on the list, really. Joe Klein, Jonathan Alter, Joe Conason are a few you’d know. The rest are mostly obscure bloggers.
Huffington Post?
However, it's very neccessary to point these people out so we know who, and who not to deal with based on fairness. The Daily Caller did an excellent job exposing these wankers. In the future may they all have NO ONE LEFT TO LIE TOO or DECEIVE!

Clever fake?
Has to be.
Diversity of faculty on a particular campus should be enforced by the government. It is taxpayers money that is funding these leftist think tanks (colleges), through student loans grants, and many other sources of funding. Just as it was with racial integration in the 60’s, so should it be with faculty diversity in this decade.
