Left-leaning news reporters linked to Bill Ayers, Dohrn

Among the individuals who were part of the controversial JournoList e-mail group were activists who served on an editorial board alongside Weather Underground terror group founders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, WND has learned.

Also, it has emerged that other members of JournoList were activists from a far-left think tank with close ties to a Marxist-founded, George Soros-funded group that petitions for more government control of the Internet.

So far, 107 names have been confirmed as part of the JournoList e-mail group of about 400 reporters and activists. The list shut down last month after group members were caught discussing how to minimize negative publicity about Obama's radical associations, such as the politician's long relationship with his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright

The names include John B. Judis, senior editor at the New Republic and a contributing editor to the American Prospect. Judis started reporting from Washington in 1982, when he became Washington correspondent for In These Times, a Chicago-based socialist journal.

Also a confirmed JournoList member is Frida Berrigan, contributing editor and a member of the editorial board for In These Times.

As of 2009, both Ayers and Dorhn were on the editorial board of In These Times. The duo became household names after it was exposed they maintained a close relationship for years with Obama.

Most of the Hournolist crowd were vigorously and vocally against waterboarding.

We could fill out the rest of that 400 name list with about 2 minutes worth I'm sure.

They know that!

This isn’t exactly a huge surprise, but it is always useful to nail them with facts.

Just a reminder; Bill Ayers doesn’t have friends, he has Comrades...

Bill Ayers has stated that 25 million capitalists will have to be killed in order to erect his view of a socialist paradise.

I retort that 25 million innocent people WILL die during the attempt to create a workers Utopia.

It will start with ObamaCare(Eugenics),continue through Cap-n-trade(starvation) and then eventually riots.

Thanks, Laz! They’re a little behind on the list. I have “issues” with WND. They make assertions without providing evidence. And several times their “facts” have been blatant lies. I’ll check into Berrigan.

Just as I suspected, this article is crap. Frida Berrigan is absolutely not a confirmed member of JournoList. WND makes that assertion merely because she was mentioned by Trevor Loudon in this article. At the end of his article, Loudon summarizes:

It seems that the concept of leftist journalists and writers covering their friends is not confined to confirmed "Journolistas".
He wasn't implying that Frida Berrigan is a member of JournoList.

WND misleads everyone again.

WND is awful.

But I would have been remiss, if I hadn't pinged you, at least.

Absolutely. Thank you for pinging me. I want to be as accurate as possible with the list.
