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...

This rabbit hole has miles to go, they didn't disband the "journolist" they changed email addresses and hold meetings in secret places under the cover of night now.
Follow the spending habits of these people and I will bet that many of the "journolist" conspirators magically show up in the same cities on the same days and even in the same hotels quite often.
They're not gone, they're just going underground like Bill Ayers and Abbie Hoffman did so many times in their sordid histories…
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.
Go to http://www.dailycaller.com this is being detailed on their website, Tucker Carlson has been investigating this for a long time and he has some of the archives posted already…
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!
These people need to be flushed out of the woodwork, like the vermin they are…..
So what did you expect from a bunch of Socialist, Marxist, Communists?
Great photo illustration, JournoList is the epitome of a smelly rat infested sewer… rats wearing nice suits, eating fancy lunches on Main Stream Media expense accounts, all the while HATING capitalism, the very vehicle responsible for their fancy big time journalist lifestyles…sleezy hypocrites…
Open thread: a subject the M.S.M will NOT COVER and the watch word for today is "Pigford" as in "shakedown"….
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.
And you wonder why people don't trust the mainstream media anymore? If this scandal gets even more publicity, it may be the last nail in the coffin of the mainstream media. I wonder how much longer the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the three network news programs will be around for? At this point, who really cares?
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.
Good, lord, I need intelligent conversation. Just spent three hours at Huff-Poop. I'm near suicide. A few arrogant elitists mixed with brain dead zombies. "Faux new BAAAAAAAAAD" , "Breitbart BAAAAAAAAAD" What f#ckin sheep. How do you debate with a sheep? I couldn't even troll. They won't let you post "Black Panthers", but call you a racist every other post. And if you post a decent argument, their administrators post the standardized Huff- Poop response. How often do Breitbart's admins make a post? And with someone who disagrees at that.
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.
They are required to take ethics course…..from professors on Journolist. Perhaps the scariest thing about this story is how convinced they are that they were doing something GOOD, even noble.
I was thinking the same thing, myself…..
You don't debate with sheep. You just get out your cookbook…..a lotta good recipes for mutton….
Screw mutton…………EAT MORE BEEF ! ?:~D……….sorry, couldn't resest Dxm
Ever wonder why left wing nuts who believe in evil conspiracies seem all to ready, willing, and able, to perpetrate one.
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…
All they can hope for is an 'old media' US Gv't bail-out. Sadly the 'powers that be' currently are sympathetic
to their plight. Get ready for another Texas Death Match, as we will probably once again be shocked at how
dirty they will fight.
FOP!!!
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.
Yes, James,
We need links…..even old ones to FLESH out the Pigford story and then post it on all our internet meeting sites. Folks need to realize this isn't about just Obama or just Dems or Repubs. This is about DECADES OF GOV'T ABUSE OF OUR MONEY, OUR TRUST, AND THE CONSTITUTION.
Can someone post the links to the Pigford suit? Then we literally WALLPAPER THE INTERNET WITH THOSE LINKS AND GET THIS STORY OUT WHILE THIS RECENT INCIDENT IS FRESH IN EVERYONE'S MIND.
Doing that will cause those links to follow every MSM hatchett job on the current story. Folks won't be able to read one without seeing info and links to the other.
LET MSM DO OUR WORK FOR US?
That picture says it all.
The only reason they believe in their famous "vast right-wing conspiracy" is that they have one of their very own. What sounds ludicrous to us is all in a day's sewer swimming to them.
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).
The most enlightening thing I have ever seen to explain the leftist attitude re journalism and leftist politics is on Heritage Foundation site " How modern liberals think" by Evan Sayet a real eye opener and a MUST view.
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.
I'm pleased that the 'usual suspects' from The Left ,and their lefty enablers, are being 'outed', big time.
All praise to Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox News, Talk Radio, Drudge,Red States and all the other outlets…print and electronic…. who are speaking out and identifying these smarmy, 'smarter – than- thou', Leftist Noise Machine members.
So glad to see WHO they are, and their 'known associates'.
Now, they can't depend on secure hiding places, where they construct versions of political IED's designed to hurt decent people and end careers .
There is no 'end date' to, or 'exit strategy' for, this mission.
Exposure of Journo-List members should continue indefinitely out of necessity.
Our Liberty is at stake.
No not abandoned, but what more can they do once their credibility has been destroyed.
You really want to ration your time in the sewer, bad things can happen to your brain with too much exposure.
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.
Screw mutton? That reminds me. Keith had to come back from his vacation to put his two cents in….
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.
If journalist that write for stock market reviews or recommendations, got together on the net and conspired to compose a unified front to falsely change the perception on a particular company or stock for any type of gain, that would be a crime, here we basically have journalist conspiring and ultimately carrying out a plan to change the perception of candidates in a U.S. election to guide its out come…. how is this not a crime?
Brother, don't torture yourself like that! I admire your courage, though.
I think BB&C should have rolled the tapes out a bit faster, hitting them right after the peak of the "rebuttals" so people did not have to rely on their memory of what was said a couple of weeks ago.
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.
Liars are the first to cry "Liar!"
I use Yahoo, local weather, for my home page. Signed in fine about 5 after the hour, and it's still working.
Because it's politics and lying, cheating, stealing, forgery, etc are expected.
Good work on that picture.
What don't kill ya, makes ya stronger. I'll be fine in a day or so, and give it another go, but I must limit the sessions to no more than one hour at a time. I need a canary.
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.
So, when they call someone a racist, that means…………………… heheheh
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.
And those are just the folks on THAT list…..and only the ones who've been named. How many more on how many more such lists?
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.
BA DA BING! SPLAAAAAAAAAT!
sigh……..there goes the monitor again!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.!
I've got an extra CRAP DETECTOR I can lend you…:-)))))))
Low hanging fruit…….
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.
Cheap shot, Deusex,
Obama can't help his uh, anatomical, uh, configuration?.
))))))))))))))
If you've read one thread over there, you've read them all.
Where were you posting?
That sack's empty…..
BWAHAHAHAHA
yur killin me, Smalls!
)))))))))
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?
Call 'em as I see's 'em…….
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
Heard that a guy was dancin' with the first lady, and happened to look down at his patent leather shoes and saw that she was wearin' em…….
PigfordFarms ….another word for REPARATIONS and this is just the beginning…
I'm gonna say it. That image up there IS ART.
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
Is anyone really suprised by all of this? I am sure there has been an undercurrent of awarness of the press's leanings for sometime. In the not so distant past, all we had were intensely partisan newspapers who made no pretentions to being objective. We subscribed to the newspaper that most reflected our world view and we sought out other ideas if the subject was important to us. If these journalist were to acknowledge their partisanship in an open forum then there would be no uproar. It is only when they use the shield of objectiveness and treat the reader as a "useful idiot" that we should take exception.
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.
The members should be barred from making public statements ever again. Or simply gagged (not blindfolded) and shot for treason. I no longer just disbelieve the Democrat Media I venemously abhor them. Vile cabalists. You can't spell JournoList without an "O" somewhere in the middle. Hmmmm.
Do you think Ellie Light might reside under that manhole cover?? Maybe she is the head toilet plunger.
TS
The silence is deafening from our side in the MSM…(That would be George Will, are there any others?)
Not that anyone who relies on ABC for NEWS would be capable of cognitive thinking and thus change their mind…
There are no professional journalists, only party apparatchiks in the Ministry of TRUTH….
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?
the vast left-wing conspiracy
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.
Yeah, what this said, All praise!
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?
The cockroaches are scattering from the light. The sewer cover is the perfect metaphor. They are truly loathsome.
Thank you Ezra Klein. — punk!
Perfect picture for this group. A sewage cover.
