Andrew Breitbart: Journolist Is a "Watergate of Epic Proportions" & State-Run Media Is Burying the Story (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, August 3, 2010, 6:27 PM
The “Journolist” is a listserv comprised of several hundred top liberal journalists from influential American and British media outlets, as well as like-minded professors, union reps and activists. Leftist media hack and WaPo journalist Ezra Klein founded Journolist with far left crank Joe Klein from TIME magazine in February of 2007. Klein admitted that Journolist was an “insulated space where the lure of a smart, ongoing conversation would encourage journalists, policy experts and assorted other observers to share their insights with one another.” But, you had to be a leftist to join this group. It was an exclusive club. And, it grew to include 400 of the most prominent leftist American journalists who shared ideas and helped spin the far left narrative in the state-run media. This is where far left cranks colluded to spit out the DNC’s talking points and to defend President Barack Obama’s radical past and socialist agenda. Ezra Klein reportedly shut down Journolist on June 28, 2010 after leaks were reported.
Andrew Breitbart announced recently that he would reward $100,000 to anyone who could provide the full “JournoList” archive, source fully protected.
This is one of the most important videos of the year.
Andrew Breitbart lashed out at the corrupt American media and the attempts to hide the Journolist Story – the “Watergate of epic proportion in the newsroom.”
Via National Review:
“The concept of neutral, objective journalism is no longer. Watergate of epic proportion in the newsroom. If they go after Dave Weigel and Ezra Klein, they are going to have to go after the whole list because it is not just the sins of commission . . . It is the sins of omission of the rest of the people on the group to watch that strategy play itself out. These people aided in that crime.”

The MSM has been feeding us a load of crap for over 60 years, now that they got caught the cover up begins, only problem is were on to them. They tell us lies and keep the truth from us. It’s an every day happening.
Granny commented:
I wonder if they whole darned bunch of them can be brought up on charges to exercise undue influence on our elections.
Otto commented:
Can’t be all that serious or Breitbart would have doctored up a video to “document” it. ;D
Granny commented:
You know Jainphx, I think back to when I was last in college in the early days of the internet, when we still did most of our research in the library stacks. The New York Times was the “newspaper of record” – if it was published in the NYT then it was automatically historically accurate. And then I think of what I’ve learned since about what we actually did know about the Holocaust versus what the NYT published, buried in an column inch among the obits and want ads on page D33. It really makes me wonder how things might have turned out if the truth had been published.
Granny commented:
Oh my goodness. If you haven’t read this – DO.

MSM, even when it wasn’t called such, is/was always a political tool to shape public opinion. When the MSM realized that The National Enquirer, The Star, and OTMainstreamM and Entertainment Tonight were making billions, they saw their opportunity to strike it rich. Selling the sizzle, gotcha news, no verification of facts, is the new status quo in MSM. We will never see TRUTH again. Too many lies from all directions destroy integrity of facts.

Even if this leftist coven didn’t exist or we didn’t learn about it, it has been obvious for over 30 years that most journalism is tendentious or outright dishonest and that most journalists do not exhibit professional objectivity. Most liberals are liars, most journalists are liberal, thus most journalists are liars.
My question is why so many people on the right, including the writer of this site, feign surprise and outrage when each new day brings a whole new pack of lies.
Virtually all of today’s journalists received their credentials at a university J-school. Hasn’t anyone taken note of how many tenured left-wing crackpots roam among ivy-covered walls and Greek columns?

Is there a list yet? Lots of the names and media outlets they write/work for wouldn’t be considered Mainstream by the Sheeple. Those that follow politics know how influential The Nation, Mother Jones, Salon, and others are due to their readership, not necessarily their circulation numbers, but WHO their readers are…….but, without the list naming names associated with TIME, NEWSWEEK, NY TIMES, LA TIMES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc……. its only political junkies (us, who already get it) and who we/they can directly influence that will get this. The sheeple will go on reading, watching, and listening to the same crap.
These things need to be connected directly A to B to C like dot to dot for it to have any affect. A major disturbance in their force if you get what I’m saying. Even the most uninterested (in politics) will absolutely go nuts if they find out they’ve been lied to and manipulated. Sleeping dogs should be left sleeping and all that.
I’m not down on outing these hacks for being hacks. I just want maximum efficiency when doing so.

The Jornolists make their own reputations. Or rather, unmake them.
I don’t believe journalists take an oath to the Constitution. Pity.
Derak commented:
just remember: What crime did Christ die for?
Telling the truth.
Every day you are seeing those that deign to tell the truth get pilloried, exoriated, eviscerated and hung out to dry, nay, killed. See what happens to those who dare speak the truth of Islam. (wilders, spencer,geller, hirsi ali.)
Truth. Always been a crime. Why?
Brooklyn commented:
Remember when Democrats like Kondracke, Liasson, etc., used to deny the bias in the Media?
It was so obvious, and still is obvious.
Ugly dishonest liars…
Long ago, one of the biggest Crooks, named Hillary Clinton, once made this joke about a “right wing conspiracy”.
In reality it was a pathetic Democratic Partisan effort to cover for Bubba and Hillary, slandering all others.
Same old Democratic Partisan disaster…

The Autumn of the Left
The number of Americans who embrace the stupendous folly, the conspicuous malice, the selfish childishness, the sneering mendacity which struts around us wearing the label of “liberal” or “progressive” is even smaller than we have suspected.

I have successfully used the race card for years and never failed!
When some honky asks me about my credentials to govern I just call him a Racist. He then goes into a fetal position and hides in the corner. Gad, those honkies are easily intimidated!
Using the race card has always work for me. I see no reason to discontinue using it. It’s my Jedi Light Saber against the Honky.
Also, I was a JournaloList in my youth… although I never wrote much.
I was Harvard Law Review’s first black JournoList. I got to know Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger of the NYT via my good friend George Soros. That is when we made a syndicate to hoodwink the American Tax Payer with every possible deception.
We agreed that if the stupid tax payer did not swallow our socialist line of Bull Dung then we would label them Racists. Hence, all tea party tax payers are Racists!
The rest is history. Hillary went under the Bus and I am in the White House and those Typical White People are paying my meal ticket. It’s quite a scam. I say lets not change a thing! The JournoList is an great club!
My limousine is belching fumes and I have a meeting with David Axelrod and Pinch Sulzberger. If anybody gets in my way they will be smeared with the label of a Racist. It always works. Ha ha! Good day honkies.

I recall even back in the 1970s Brent Bozell was reporting media bias and dishonesty.
And there was a lot to report.
It’s far worse today. Most journalists now use a style that was once reserved for kiss-and-tell gossip columnists. They don’t even try to hide their political biases. And so many of them just seem so stupid, the last people on whom one would rely for accurate information.
bill-tb commented:
WOW, the lame stream is coordinating their smears … What was the first clue?
I mean I had this figured out back when dear Waly Crankcase used to go to the tube and deliver his blather. Couldn’t everybody figure this out?
Conservatives will never get a fair interview with these liberals, they must start their own media. Today FNC and talk radio are the best we can muster.

How many pairs of undies do you think Breitbart goes through in an average day? It seems like he soils himself in hysteria every few minutes, like clockwork.
Fun to watch. Probably NOT so fun to stand behind him, though…
