You know what is funny about this is the outright liars that claim to be “journolist”
Many Years ago (10 maybe) I e-mailed Toobin over a segment on CNN. He was labeled a Conserv commentator. He was spouting the usual Leftie BS. This is a common practice, the interviewers get people on and label them Conservs and then the interviewee claims to be a “reasonable” conserv.
Clearly code for fascist Pig plant.
WEEELLL, I got a NASTY, hate filled, response from Jeffie, claiming he was a conserv, that people like ME that questioned his orthodoxy were crazy. True story. I am NOT at ALL surprised to see his name on the list.
“Journolist founder Ezra Klein, a staffer at the Washington Post, says he “tried to be very strict” in making sure no active political operatives joined Journolist. “It’s possible I missed someone,” he explained in an email.
In fact, he did. Jeff Hauser wrote scores of posts on Journolist during the time he was managing the New Jersey congressional
campaign of Democrat Dennis Shulman. Hauser didn’t do much to hide his affiliation. Indeed, his posts on Journolist were signed, “Campaign Manager, Shulman for Congress,” followed by the campaign’s web address. After the election, Hauser took positions at a 527 group and a political action committee. He never left Journolist.
Jared Bernstein, meanwhile, worked as an unpaid surrogate for Barack Obama during much of the campaign. All the while, he remained a member of Journolist. Even after the campaign ended, and he had joined the Obama administration, Bernstein continued his contact with the group. In May of 2009, Bernstein contacted Ezra Klein to pass a message along to list members.
“Calling all Journos,” Bernstein wrote in a message relayed by Klein. “I thought we got too little love from progressive types re our tax changes targeted at businesses with overseas operations. We’re maybe going for another bite at the apple this Monday,” he wrote. Bernstein invited members of the list to join him on a conference call on the issue a few days later.”

I think letting the editors/superiors and the advertisers know at these cockroaches’ sites, universities, networks, etc. that they’re being boycotted until they drop them is a great idea.
