Journolist flap shows conservative media conspiracy, not liberal one (ROFL!)

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:

Journolist debates making its coordination with Obama explicit

But way down in the 13th paragaraph, the story quotes a post from the very same thread in which J-List founder and Post blogger Ezra Klein excplicitly rules out any such coordination:

Ezra Klein of the Washington Post, the founder of Journolist, quickly jumped in: "Nope, no message coordination. I'm not even sure that would be legal. This is a discussion list, though, and I want it to retain that character," he wrote.

And WaPo wonders why its readership numbers continue to decline......shut your doors permanently already, kkthx idiots. =.=

It reminds me of the country cop who said (true story) “You have a gun, right? Of course I would NEVER advise you take the law into your own hands, but if he comes back, well, you know it takes 20 minutes for us to get out here to you...”

Some cops are cool.

[Interesting Times]

Let’s imagine that the Journolist was comprised of conservatives rather than leftists. Does anyone believe that a WaPo columnist would argue that the collusion was innocent because a member spoke against “coordinating” during a meeting? Of course not.

Sargent is doing his job, which is to defend leftists and attack conservatives. Let’s not kid ourselves about “journalist integrity” among members of the DNC Media.

Liberals are delusional group thinkers.

Let me guess...they were taken out of context?

All of this is just absolute proof of the
“VAST LEFT WING CONSPIRACY.”

Repeat it:
