JournoList: The Open Thread

i am wondering if, and when we can see the archives of these weasels. i wonder what other gems we might find. also how many stories they have burried. i think anybody who was associated with journolist shold be tossed out from thier job, and let a new person fill that job. i think homelss bums might be more accurate reporters than these guys.

I just find the whole concept, WHOEVER might be doing it, DISTURBING. These guys aren't FACT CHECKING. They're developing a STORY LINE. How are WE gonna FRAME THIS???? O.M.G. That question alone should send chills through any decent reporter. That one statement should stop every journalist DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS. That is not reporting. That isn't even editorializing.

Any decent professional journalist should be STUNNED at the audacity and the credentials of the so called journalists saying those words and doing this.

George Will should be DISGUSTED AND SAY SO
Tom Friedman should be HAVING HIS USUAL ANGST ATTACK AND RUN IT
Wallace, Krauthammer, Noonan, Liasson, and Williams should be ANGRY AND SAYING SO.

This goes beyond politics, race, or even natural political leanings.

THIS IS GOEBBELS PROPOGANDA, STRAIGHT UP, MIZZ BARAFOLO!

So what did you expect from a bunch of Socialist, Marxist, Communists?

Are journalism majors required to take any courses in ethics?

Do they have to demonstrate any understanding of how sacred is the blessing of the First Amendment?

Are they required to study the history of what propaganda can do to enable those monsters who have inflicted unspeakable horrors on the world?

Do any of them have to study how initially innocuous passing editorial comment as news seems until a tipping point is reached and totalitarians then seize the moment and run with the prevailing opinion to begin removing basic freedoms?

Are they required to spend any time abroad seeing first hand what happens when the Fourth Estate becomes the lapdog for ANY political movement?

From what I've seen in this most recent expose on JournoList, it appears not to be so.

Race baiting is one of the most powerful tools used to incite and ultimately control. People of all colors should be keenly aware of how this is used by those in power or by those who have the means to reach thousands of people who not only don't understand how they are being "USED" , but also don't understand the significant consequences of fueling this feeding frenzy. Treated like fish in a river with bait thrown their way, too many will bite. It is an intentional action that comes from the scum of the earth. If the scum is willing to use skin color to divide it only exposes the ulterior motive to steal power by any means. Pure and simple…IT IS about POWER and EGO. Because there will always be racists in the world, and because human nature can't be changed, people will discriminate. Rectify wrongs case by case, not race by race.

I hope the Daily Caller is being shrewd in how they're rolling out these stories.

Breitbart was smart in the ACORN scandal. He had only some tapes released first, and this gave the media apologists a chance to mount a defense — and conservatives a chance to expose their hypocrisy by bringing later evidence to light that refuted Leftist claims. Remember how the Left said things like "Well, this was one isolated office?" And then Breitbart and Co. brought out the next tape, and the next, and the next.

The current line from the Left is that the comments on Journolist are mostly by opinion people. This is patently not true, as the DC's reporting has shown. But I do hope they have even better quotes from so-called "straight" news reporters.

This scandal is a shame. Journalists should be oppositional. They should skeptically scrutinize whoever is in power and whatever their claims are.

I was thinking the same thing, myself…..

Screw mutton…………EAT MORE BEEF ! ?:~D……….sorry, couldn't resest Dxm

The 4th Estate has long been a Leftist 5th Column, the enemy within, spewing support a Leftist agenda, no matter who the current figurehead happens to be.
Now the Leftist toilet seat warmer is Obama…But as he demonstrates his incompetence, even by Democrat standards, he will be under thrown under the bus, replacing Shirley Sherrod, who's now driving the bus…over Obama and this corrupt Administration…

Because sadly, HA, the majority of Americans don't even know what a real journalist is supposed to do, or not do. And sadly they listen to a few soundbytes watch a few carefully orchestrated interviews and believe they have been "informed" about an issue.

They do not know. Nor do they even suspect. They need to hear this story for that reason alone. To know, for a fact, they are not being given news, but rather a group opinion designed to portray an agreed upon "version" of the facts in order to elicit a "premeditated" reaction from them.

They need to know they're bein played.

That picture says it all.

Decent arguments are not allowed at Huff-Poop (heh, love that). They just go to their little scripts and copy and paste the same five talking points over and over like zombies: 1. Faux news is the devil, 2. Breitbart is evil 3. It's all George W. Bush's fault 4. Tea Party = RAAAAACIST 5. It's all George W. Bush's fault (yeah, they like that one so much they think it counts for two talking points).

This week we've learned:

1) They'll cooridnate an attack on a one-term Governor who's a VP candidate to protect a one-term Senator who wants to be President.

2) They'll cooridnate an attack on anyone who points out the racism of the one-term Senator's pastor by calling the critics "racist".

3) They'll bypass free speech and advocate the shuttering of a privately-run entity such as Fox News.

4) They'll damn compassion if it means they get to see someone they profoundly disagree with (Rush Limbaugh) die.

In short, these liberals do NOT believe in "liberty". They only believe in the Agenda. They look at "1984" as an instruction manual, not a warning.

There are two things to consider here:

1) "JournoList" itself may be shut down, but what name is it going by now? Do you think these folks stopped talking to each other?

2) How many "JournoLists" are there out there?

This is only the tip of a submerged iceberg.

No not abandoned, but what more can they do once their credibility has been destroyed.

hey guys…..do me a favor. Can you try to log onto yahoo mail. I'm a paid yahoo email client and the site is down. Just want to make sure others are getting the same message.

Needless to say you'll have to reply here….since my browser says yahoo can't be accessed.

Yup, you've got it. I just went back and cleaned up a few threads. I've got three or four good questions pending but they've gone unanswered for a couple of hours now. Did manage to pick up a 'fan', another 'troll' like me. It's funny how they say 'fanned' to each other when they follow someone and swoon over the silliest posts. And instead of giving a thumb down, it's called 'Flag as Abusive'. What weenies. Brain damaged, the lot of them.

Brother, don't torture yourself like that! I admire your courage, though.

The outing of the Journolist confirms what most of us already knew, that the media is over-populated by agenda driven leftist ideologues. The difference now is that we know their names.

I use Yahoo, local weather, for my home page. Signed in fine about 5 after the hour, and it's still working.

Good work on that picture.

Thanks, Phillep,
I tried a few more times and this last time it finally came up. No idea why but the reappeared so I can answer replies now. Appreciate the info.

That is a very good point, mrbev,

And we know they DON'T becauuuuusssse? Looking at the 'coverage' of the 2006/7 meltdown….didn't look like they gave much of a head's up on that one, huh. Like maybe they "decided not to start a panic selloff?"

Probably didn't but since this story….who trusts them to "assure" us no such thing happened. Not me. See….crisis of confidence. Unintended consequences. When the public loses faith it's an ugly thing.

The MSM is PLAYIN WITH FIRE and it has HUGE potential all across the whole spectrum of American life and economics, politics, security, you name it.

Who trusts them to tell us the unvarnished facts about anything or anyone, any more.

Excellent analogy, Drifter!

5th column indeed. Just stunningly corrupt. wow

And I'm not a little disappointed that top gun journalists and writers like Will and Friedman are not raising HELL about it instead of closing ranks and ducking. I call BS on both of them and the other journalists who PRETEND to be professional.

Not a dam peep. Not one word from the gutless "others" who pretend to be reputable. my asss.

I've got an extra CRAP DETECTOR I can lend you…:-)))))))

There's a good video interview of Chris Wallace….last decent journalist standing at Fox, imo, saying exactly the same thing. If Journalists don't do their homework and get ALL their facts before they run with a story…they have only themselves to blame when the facts come out and they're caught with their, um, facts down?

O'Reilly had to apologize…..not something he's want to do, and I suspect it will be a long time before he trusts this site for info again. And of course the whole NAACP RACIST point is now utterly lost amid all the he said she said crap.

Just a huge CF all round.

If you've read one thread over there, you've read them all.

That sack's empty…..

So, I was reading on Daily Caller talk about how journolisters wanted to handle Fox News. Someone suggested calling them not REALY news.

Isn't that what became Anita Dunn"s tactic? My question is, did these things happen at the same time? Or Dunn just after?Was the WH monitoring Journolist, or participating?

ohhhhh no ya don't!

If you think yur gonna sucker me into askin you how you know what Obama's uh, where you got a look at Obama's uh…..how you know…uh….well I ain't gonna do it!

oh crap

PigfordFarms ….another word for REPARATIONS and this is just the beginning…

Frankly I'd love just a straight up news channel, drifter. Who, what, where, when, how.

alas…today's voyeurs just can't get enough jollies on that. They want their scream TV. Perfect example, look up top at the RIDICULOUS story "Mom flips out."

Total oad of dingo's kidneys. And look at the thread! Half of them think the woman did something wrong! Like I said…

Try that crap ambush journalism on me and they'll get an up close and personal introduction to MUNCH. My 92 pound PIT BULL!.

:-O

Anyone that wants to become a famous celebrated true investigative journalist has it handed to them on a plate. All they have to do is some TRUE HONEST investigative research and journalism about how crooked and unprofessional and biased these scoundrels are and report it and become the praised TRUE Journalist all of the USA is seeking. I and others are fed up with PROPAGANDA pushers instead of true reporters. Go for it all you inspired true honest researchers and reporters that want to bring back the honor and integrity of the profession of journalism.

Do you think Ellie Light might reside under that manhole cover?? Maybe she is the head toilet plunger.

Of course the net is the most logical place for such a new media outlet to go, but I seem to remember back in the day that public TV…in order to BE public and therefore non profit….had to allocate a certain portion of air time each day, for free, to CITIZENS of the city they have news outlets in, to put their OWN programs on air.

hummmmm

cottage news outlet potential?

A month after a Portland massage therapist publicized her claims that former Vice President Al Gore groped her in 2006, Gore faces two more allegations of sexual misconduct with massage therapists, according to the National Enquirer's new edition.

The Enquirer, which broke the news of Portland massage therapist Molly Hagerty's accusations against Gore, quotes anonymous sources about the two other allegations.

One occurred at a Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel in 2007, when Gore was in town to attend the Oscars, the magazine says. The other occurred at a hotel in Tokyo in November 2008, when Gore was speaking at Keio University.

Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for Gore, declined to comment on the new allegations. She previously said that Gore "unequivocally and emphatically denied" Hagerty's accusation.

In the Beverly Hills incident, a source told the magazine that Gore had requested a massage therapist to treat him in the rooftop spa. When she arrived, he "shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her," and made a suggestive comment, the story said.

In the Tokyo incident, a source told the magazine that a therapist left Gore's room shortly after entering, complaining that he was being "sexually inappropriate."

In both cases, the hotel management told staff not to talk about it and the women did not make police reports, the magazine said.

Sorry for takin' so long to get back to ya. I was posting at Huff-Poop mostly on the Rachel Madcow thread, and a couple of other threads that I can't remember. It's all the same blather, ya know?

Perfect picture for this group. A sewage cover.
