He just doesn't foam at the mouth like Hannity.<br /><br />I suppose the New York Times, Washington Post and others didn't suck up to the Bush Administration and talk up the dangers of Sadam and yellow cake and aluminum tubes in the run up to the Iraq war. Judith Miller anyone?<br /><br />Karl Rove isn't a conservative? OK, well I think there is a case to be made that he is a purely amoral political operative who decided he workes best with and for conservatives.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-61275091606442913912012-01-01T17:36:57.842-06:002012-01-01T17:36:57.842-06:00But even if one imagines (it will take a VERY good...But even if one imagines (it will take a VERY good imagination) that JournoList people were not transcribing Obama/Democrat talking points......<br /><br />The fact remains that they are certifiable Lefties, all buzzing the same buzz, by mutual consent. One may yap all day long about Fox News, but that's ONE network. And Bill O'Reilly is not a Conservative, nor is Shep Smith.<br /><br />For that matter, neither is Rove.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-69700681214656702902012-01-01T17:14:18.554-06:002012-01-01T17:14:18.554-06:00Not even close on the right.

Idiots.<br /><br />But, that's right, there wasn't any MSM coordination at all, it was only led by WaPo's Ezra Klein, and none of those 400 were at other prominent establishments... Joe Klein, Marc Ambinder, Nate Silver, Matthew Holt, etc.. Oh, and they had NO contact with the Obama campaign or Administration right? Oh wait, Peter Orszag - head of the OMB was a member.<br /><br />Just a coincidence I'm sure.neomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830635556787370135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-30894441765186301902012-01-01T16:42:38.807-06:002012-01-01T16:42:38.807-06:00The JournOList was anything but MSM.

While leaked emails showed that there were discussion threads about how to deal with Jeremiah Write, for instance, there is no evidence whatsoever that the community was a unified group with a specific agenda. This could hardly be described as "The Media".<br /><br />I guess you are thinking that nothing like this exists on the right-leaning side, huh? Ever read some of the emails from Fox "News" executives on how to portray certain people and events?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-47857228256919660662012-01-01T10:12:34.044-06:002012-01-01T10:12:34.044-06:00Jim, you must have missed the JournOList from 2008...Jim, you must have missed the JournOList from 2008.

I'm guessing ...<i>using the MSM as a steno-pool. </i><br /><br />I'm guessing that literally NONE of the republican candidates for president or congress has a pipeline to the MSM [snark, for the snark impaired].<br /><br />Only the President and his "henchman" are covered? No Republican debates covered? No campaigns for the Republican nomination covered? No convention coverage? Fox "News" off the air? No Wall Street Journal op-eds?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-18289874885155020952011-12-31T14:44:44.584-06:002011-12-31T14:44:44.584-06:00Steno pool hell, they are willing participantsSteno pool hell, they are willing participantsneomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830635556787370135noreply@blogger.com
