The Journolist was shut down when a not so progressive that was invited into the list outed them. But it still goes on, under a different name. You can still see coordination between progressive media people.

Every speech Trump gave during the election cycle, no matter how positive or well received, was labeled “dark,” by the progressive media because that was a code word that put the thought that Trump was mean and evil into viewer's heads.

But an excerpt from 60 Minutes which remained on the cutting room floor showed that wasn’t true. CBS News knew it had the clip which would cut the legs out from Obama after the 2nd debate and it sat on until a couple days before the election when it quietly posted it online.

Tuesday, October 16 was the second debate. CBS colluded with the Zerobama campaign. 😀

In theory, the list was a kind of digital water cooler where like-minded people could talk to others in the field. That may have been all it was much of the time, but when candidate Obama got in trouble in 2008, it also became a place for partisans to discuss a coordinated media strategy.

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

Journolist was a diversion, relatively speaking. The real deal is that the AP “wire” is a continuous virtual meeting of all major US journalism outlets. It should be sued into oblivion under Sherman.
