Just as opening the conversations of the AGW “scientists” [1] to the public allowed the outside world to observe the reality behind the AGW / IPCC curtain, so has the release of the JournoList conversations opened up the collusion of the Leftist “journalists” that infest and infect the dying mainstream media. As one observer noted, it will not be possible for some time to read an article by any MSM journalist without wondering just how it has been manipulated by him and the JournoList conspiracy. Even the innocent will be suspect due to the machinations of the secret membership of the anti-ethical, Consequentialist cabal.
While this reality has long been obvious by the products of these Leftists, the actual mechanism has not been known until now. Now, the products of these folks will be known as activist rags and little more. It is interesting to see that after Obama accused FOX of being an arm of the Republican party, the reality is that the entire remaining media is a swamp of activist Democrats and Leftist news-modifying liars and scoundrels.
This is in no way a new feature of journalism. The USSR set up entire villages called Potemkin Villages for the express purpose of entertaining the Leftist-socialist fantasies of the western journalist useful idiots of the time. I learned in high school – many decades ago – that Newsweek was farther Left than Time, but that neither could be trusted. The trend only worsened. Rather-gate for example. The blatant opinion manipulations of the last two decades, hardly disguised at all. The feverish rush to attack Palin's family, while totally ignoring the entire history and career of Obama: this is now known to have been a coordinated Leftist "journalist" smear attempt, in order to drive votes to the Leftist candidate. And not least, the smarmy, weepy gushing when Obama won.
It would be interesting to count the number of times that the words "attack" and "kill" are used on JournoList. Their entire focus is to attack the non-Left, and to kill all stories embarrassing [a la Rev. Wright] to the Left. The idea of attack / kill is not part of the common understanding of journalistic ethical standards. But the ethic of modern "journalists" is Consequentialism in pursuit of their Leftist political aims.
Perhaps the main difference between the Potemkin days and now is that today there are alternative paths to valid information concerning the current events in the USA and around the world. Using these paths, many of us knew more about Obama than did his fawning "journalist" acolytes, judging by their recent abandoning of The One, who is merely consistent with his earlier history. These private paths are now endangered, as the summary closing of 73,000 websites last week by a USA government “concerned with their content” shows - more websites closed, it is said, than by the Chinese communists.
When the ruling class is threatened, it will fight back by squeezing hard on the source of discontent, in this case internet paths to reality. After government seizure of massive regulatory control of health care, automotive manufacturing, and the financial industry, it would make sense to watch for two things: first, a dictated amnesty [2] and perks for illegals in order to preserve Leftist power; second, to put a choke hold on the internet information flow. Those two agenda items would serve their purposes more than any others.
[1] I scare-quote that because of their obvious breeches of scientific protocols in favor of predetermined conclusions, including controlling the peer review process and falsifying data. Science and activism are not compatible.
[2] Is it possible that today's news release claiming that amnesty won't happen in this congress is a Red Herring, designed to relax the defenses of the opposition? Why should anyone believe anything any MSM source reports? Why should we not attribute machinations to it?
