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.
Oh don’t think that there’s no linkage. Recall last year that, for an entire week, every single show in NBC prime-time made some random reference to “green jobs” or “public service” or “environmental awareness”, regardless of how completely unrelated it was to the script immediately preceding and following it, on orders from the White House.
