Unlike some of my colleagues on the right, I don't think there's a conspiracy at work.

Journolist.

I am willing to believe that journalists like Gregory are sincere in their desire to play it straight.

I love you, Jonah, but you're wrong about this. Gregory and his ilk are far more invested in furthering the liberal agenda then they are in playing it straight.

Journalism is in trouble because Americans are in trouble. The Christian foundations are all but dead. Look where these journos come from, who there influences are. They come from hugely populated regions with power because of that.

The education system has long been overrun with outright Marxists from grade school configurations through university and academia. School at all levels is now a Marxist farm team for “service” in every institution.

What does the Right do? They send their own kids through the same system.

“To be sure, there have been conservative feeding frenzies: about Barack Obama’s pastor, John Kerry’s embellishments of his war record, etc. But the mainstream media usually has tasked itself with the duty of debunking and dispelling such “hysteria.”

They may have been feeding frenzies...but unlike the left feeding frenzies, the substance of these were true.

Bush's 24-year-old DUI - on some back road - no one hurt - and the MSM treated it as an international horror.

Fast forward to 2012 - the President of the United States allows an Ambassador to be murdered, raped and have his body dragged through a city - along with brave SEALS - and the MSM acts like it's an imposition. Would the MSM have quietly sat by if some police chief had heard Matthew Shepard screaming for help for 6 hours and was afraid his men might be in harms way if they went to help him? The New York Times is patiently waiting for the Obama Administration to feed them a lie they can fool their readers with...

Liberal elite 'journalists' have thrown away the trust and respect of conservatives - but everyday Americans - even Democrats with a sense of fairness - will start turning away from them soon.

No one like the teachers who has 'teacher's pets'

No one respects parents who excessively favor one child over the others...

The boys at the New York Times are short sighted and no where near as smart as they think they are...

The old media is in a panic. They are finally coming to the realization that Obama is just a money-grubbing Democrat grifter who starts wars so that him and his buddies can profit off them. Obama’s “higher calling” was to put money in his pocket.

The LSM is giving Benghazi the same treatment that they are giving Fast & Furious - IT DOESN’T EXIST in their world.

WHAT??? Hysteria? The truth about Obama and his racist, anti-American, radical, pastor is still not widely known.

John Kerry is a TRAITOR to his country. A COWARD, who under fire turned and RAN defying standing orders to attack instead. After the war, he was helping the enemy by testifying to LIES about his fellow soldiers.

How a murderer like Ted Kennedy and a traitor like John Kerry could serve in the esteemed U.S. Senate is only because the Main Stream Media wants it that way.

George W Bush was almost derailed by an old DWI charge, but MURDER, TREASON, is just fine if it's one of THEIR guys.

Of course it's a conspiracy!!! The MSM is out to conspire to DESTROY the America we love. Anyone unable to see this is either uninformed or an idiot, which are you Jonah?

The difference between Benghazi, Fast and Furious and Watergate is, that no one died in Watergate. The left and the 0bama Media can not deny that as hard as they might try.

[Goldberg] Unlike some of my colleagues on the right, I don't think there's a conspiracy at work.

Journolist.

Goldberg has to be aware of the Journolist, it was a cause notorious among the Right three years ago after Tucker Carlson and others exposed the weaselling of Ezra Klein and the rest on story coverage, spinning and doctoring daily news coverage. Conservative Pajamarati spent weeks dumpster-diving the Journolist files, pulling out the names of scores and scores of high-profile, mostly B-List liberal journalists. (The A-Listers like Tom Brokaw were largely absent, which raises the question whether they have another haven of resort, where they needn't rub elbows with the likes of Dave Weigel.)

What has me puzzled is, why would Goldberg say this, and strike this pose, when he has to have better information?
