So I have noticed. But I believe it is true collusion, and that the JournoList is alive and well by other names.
It is. Three members of JournoList formed Cabalist when Ezra Klein shut down JournoList. At least 173 of the J-listers joined Cabalist. Now that their collusion has been outted, they see no reason to hide it.
The JournoList, despite its deserved notoriety, was made up mostly of B- and C-listers, and minor hangers-on.
One wonders where the electronic media heavies hang their hats -- the news producers and talent for NBC, MSNBC, CBS, CNN, and so on? JournoList was basically run out of a desk drawer at the Washington Post -- so were were the other big papers?
