Rush did some shows where he did sound bites of different sources of the MSM repeating the same phrases and buzzwords over and over. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I for one think pro-Americans complaining about the Leftist flagburning media. We know they’ve been like that since the 1950’s. Talk radio and the internet have taken up some of the slack, now it’s time for some young conservative journalists to go dig up dirt on the goings-on in Washington and the State capitals. My son is going to write for the school newspaper this year, and I told him to not be afraid to report the truth, even if it gets people mad.

Perhaps there is a need for a real "independent list" that really reports all the news and information, from all sides, side by side, and that hides nothing about the news, and informs about those doing the reporting, and most importantly, informs about those that the news is about. Let's get all sides, true or false, right or wrong, and allow all views to be heard, from all directions, and then, let's let the people decide.

When people are well-informed, they tend to make better decisions.

I have not heard anyone suggest that there is a connection between the JournoList and the current administration. But if there is, we have a much more serious problem on our hands than a bunch of rogue journalists.

Journolist was in operation since 2007. In effect, it was a conspiracy among left wing journalists, academics, and bloggers to further a particular political agenda.

Something to remember the next time somebody discounts the existence of wide-ranging conspiracies. Wiki has a (partial) list of members.

Nothing. The news industry has been engaged in some form of this since the inception of radio, more or less. And it will continue to collude in order to form opinion, rather than inform it. The only antidote is a suitably skeptical and independently minded public, and I don't see that in the cards.

A Free Republic poster has compiled the list of known members to date of the left-wing now-defunct JournoList listserv.
