On my Twitter account, I follow a few hundred mainstream media-types (keep the enemy closer, right?), and unless I've missed it (and I hope I have), not a single one has spoken out in defense of Roland Martin. Not one. How scary is that. The politically correct Groupthink...

Hilarious, the Wiki page for "Journolist" has been edited beyond recognition and now doesn't include the list of known Journolisters and includes a defense of the Journolisters. Can you say censorship??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList

That is some list – explains a whole lot!
We should force everyone of them to read "Newswriting – From Lead to 30" a thousand times. A Constitutional Republic cannot survive if the journalist stop telling the truth and try, successfully in Obama's case, to heavily influence the outcome of elections. I consider this collusive activity as disgusting and as coercive as acid to our national character.
I agree with some bloggers I've read that a return to a partisan press might not be so bad. At least there'd be two papers, or more, at the barber shop and you could compare the news. It seems pretty clear to me that they've finally passed over and this is just their death whimper as the internet busts them out. The have been in control so long and able to maniupulate the direction of reporting and politics that they can't even see their end coming. It's about time.
This shows the power the left has attained in overtaking our universities….this gives me a sinking feeling that we may not be able to pull this shift back from the pendulum for very long…it will soon again swing wildly back to the left….we will not survive the next swing if the American people let it happen…my greatest fear…we win this election and the next the left finishes us!
Oh, print news is just about over. With internet, everyone will play apart as a journalist. The "Truth will set you Free". For far to long, we have not gotten the truth from Lame Stream Media!
Four writers from Mother Jones
Six writers from Politico
Six writers from The New Republic
Two clowns from Media Matters
Five writers from The Nation, including Eric "What Liberal Media?" Alterman
Countless Ivy League college professors
Paul Krugman and Joe Klein, who were on the Top 10 biased journalists list
I don't know about anyone else, but I was sure surprised. Just…SHOCKED. I mean, there's no liberal bias in the media or academia. We all just made that up in our own paranoid heads, right? /sarc
Journolist chock full of Socialists, Marxists and Communists: http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2010/07/socialist-jou...
Thanks, wonder,
I have plastered that new link on all the sites I belong to. We will have to keep chasing this, they will "disappear" sites like this whenever they find them. Our job is to keep the list alive, wherever we can. Here especially. Just like the ACORN'S NEW NAME TRACKER. As new folks are outted, we need to make sure we update and SAVE THE LIST TO OUR HARD DRIVES. They can't erase those….yet, lol.
Again, vigilance is our best and really easiest weapon of choice. It can't go away if we make ourselves guardians of it. But that said, before we "ACCEPT" someone's name on that list, we need to assure ourselves they belong there. This could be a career ender and we owe everyone we place on that list the same due diligence we claim they are NOT exercising.
MyKu:
Oh, the noisy Left…
if the ListServ was made of
corporate execs…
No surprises, at all, with this whole story. It didn't tell me anything I didn't know about how these people think. I have always assumed they exchanged notes and acted accordingly – the proverbial Manhattan cocktail parties. The level of pure hatred and, yes, violence expressed towards those which whom they disagree is isn't Earth-shaking, either.
I didn't need JournOList to figure this out. I just had to read the garbage they produce – the stuff they claim to be either news or fact-based opinion.
All this whole exercise has done is drive them a little bit more underground. They still have NPR, though.
If you go to Wired.com and comment on one of Spencer Ackerman's stories, they censor all comments. If you mention his Journolist scandal, your comments never appear. At least mine have all been censored for a few days now.
The list is now at 135 confirmed names.

We've had a solidly partisan press, masquerading as "unbiased", for the last forty years. They've just reached the point where they are too blind or stupid (and they think we're too stupid) to spend any energy pretending.
