Main article: JournoList
In February 2007 Klein created a Google Groups forum called "JournoList" for discussing politics and the news media. The forum's membership was controlled by Klein and limited to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics."[16]
Posts within JournoList were intended only be made and read by its members.[17] Klein defended the forum saying that it "[ensures] that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reactions". JournoList member, and
Time magazine columnist, Joe Klein added that the off-the-record nature of the forum was necessary because “candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private”.[16]
Ezra Klein (born May 9, 1984) is an American blogger for the Washington Post and a columnist for Newsweek. He was formerly an associate editor for The American Prospect political magazine and an American liberal[1] political blogger at the same publication.[2]
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Journalism.
Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?
Mr. McGuire: I mean, son, that you can be a totally partisan journalist and catch the eyes and ears of the administration and you can land a cushy job that will set up the rest of your life! Unless, of course, someone spills the beans.
Klein was born in 1984?
I have shoes that are older than that.
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.
