What? No mainstream media covering this? Shocking!

Once again, this is *not* a "national news organization". This is individual journalists, who do not control anything more than their own columns, talking amongst each other. This is not controlled from on high.

It is interesting that these *leaks* from JournOlist begin to appear after it is shut down. The list had over 300 select subscribers, so this in not just a small conspiracy of hot heads, slightly manipulating the news. This is a cadre of so-called professionals conspiring to alter the viewpoint of political debate through manipulative machinations of the press. We might call that propaganda.

"From 2007 until last month, some 300 liberal journalists and policy wonks exchanged ideas and commentary on a secret, off-the-record Internet email group called JournoList. It was shut down after portions leaked, leading to the resignation of Washington Post writer David Weigel last month over his intemperate criticism of conservatives he was covering."
