MICHAEL TOMASKY, THE GUARDIAN: I’m just jelly. Lord!
More questions, including “What I would like to know is how much did the J-List folks officially and unofficially coordinate with Obama’s campaign?”

How’s that hopey/changey thing workin out for you so far – honey?
He was risen.
Keep reminding them how stupid they were to vote for “O”. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!
This is a serious issue, no doubt, but can you really not laugh at how juvenile these people are? Are they all 10 years old for Gods sake?
I’m also interested in seeing what happens to Ryan Donmoyer of Bloomberg. The company, while riddled with Democrats, does have a pretty clear cut policy on objectivity. If Ryan isn’t taken of the politics beat it pretty well says it all about the decrepit nature of journalism today.
Gramsci’s long march through the institutions hits a speed bump.
Another gem from Bloomberg’s Donmoyer:
““You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp. Now that it’s getting violent? Reminds me of the Beer Hall fracases of the 1920s.””
Tea party activists are Brownshirts? They’re getting violent?
Are these people on meds and if so why aren’t they taking them regularly?
So, Olberman wasn’t the only one getting shivers up his leg or elsewhere for that matter.
Michael “I’m just jelly!” Tomasky is still warm and runny. His description of the meeting between Cameron and Barack Obama reads like the transcript of a televised fashion show:
“Never mind the ideological differences, this transatlantic encounter was all cool art and warm banter….what matters to Obama is that someone have the shine of the new about him. That he represents freshness and innovation and change.”
Super!
Super!

I think that should read: “Super-DUPER” ’cause ya’ll been duped!!!
Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall is a law of ‘highest order.’
Humpty Dumpty crashing down is called the
‘law of disorder,’ never to be put back together again.
Unless someone, or a higher divine power takes over and works to restore the original highest order.
Obama is now crashing and the ‘law of disorder’-
entropy, is taking effect.
Trillions of dollars wasted,
millions of unemployed or underemployed Americans.
Millions of homeless Americans still living in but not paying for their worthless homes.
If Obama is not stopped or reversed Nov. 2010,
or removed in 2012.
“Yes We Did”
will bring painful memories to Americans for generations to come.
Good article in The American. “JournoList as a Management Problem By James DeLong” Well worth a read.
The basic drift is people should be fired. I would also think with a lot of these papers in trouble the will fire people to try and get back readership.
They should stick with squealing about right-wing cooties. It’s equally honest, but much less creepy.
Er, what does ‘I’m just jelly’ means? It doesn’t translate into ‘American’.
They sure get excited when their team wins, eh?
For a long time I’ve said there’s no Lefty MSM conspiracy, they all just self-assemble because of their schooling. Fred Barnes said much the same thing today.
Following the gun control propaganda campaign for a long time, I assumed the lock-step of MSM journalists was due to stupidity and ignorance. Whenever I would talk to them or write, they didn’t know which end the bullets came out, and they didn’t seem very bright either. But weirdly, it didn’t matter what I said or even what they said, after conversing with them I’d read their next gun piece and it would be exactly the same as the last one. Zero change.
It didn’t fit the stupidity/ignorance model I had, because they didn’t respond to education. logic, evidence, or even personal experience. No matter what, their output stayed the same.
Well, it would appear Fred Barnes and I were wrong. There -is- a conspiracy, and you can see the gears of it turning right here. JournoList gives us a window that shows -why- every single MSM article about guns repeated the same lies for thirty years.
“Righties are SCUM, we gotta disarm the sons of b1tches if we want to reach our goals!” That’s why.
Rinse and repeat for every issue since the 1960’s, pretty much.
Net result, these morons have conspired their own media companies into bankruptcy and lied themselves out of a job. Looks damn good on them.
Phantom said “..these morons have conspired their own media companies into bankruptcy and lied themselves out of a job..”.
I’m hoping for lots of suing by the companies involved. Take away their jobs, savings, houses etc. If I found out my business and investments were down the toilet because of the actions of a couple odious employees I’d be clawing back every dime I could get.
gord, outfits like The NY Slimes company are monolithic with this thing from top to bottom. They don’t need a list server, they have editorial meetings.
I think the -shareholders- might have a case, but then if one holds shares of NY Times, one has been losing money for a pretty long time. No sympathy for the terminally stupid.
Kate’s update asks, “…how much did the J-List folks officially and unofficially coordinate with Obama’s campaign?”
Everybody remember the NEA scandal from last year, where the Obummer campaign was actively working with National Endowment for the Arts officials to get pro-Obama propaganda made by NEA supported artists? Everybody remember Limbaugh’s audio montages of MSM news readers saying identical things every frickin’ day?
I think a check of records would show JournoList members and Obama campaign workers sharing a lot of phone calls and emails. MSM was so in the tank for Obama in the primaries and the election, if it wasn’t coordinated at some level these guys would have to be telepathic.
We’ve all been noticing the oil spill hasn’t been news. The Greenies are making a ruckus about freakin’ earth worms but not a peep about 1000 miles of oil-soaked Brown Speckled Snaildarter Pelicanowls? Of COURSE its organized. Most likely all these outfits get daily updates from the White House, there’s probably a whole freakin’ department that handles it.
What I’d REALLY like is a list of names for the guys in that department, and who they talk to. That’d be pretty interesting.
The latest shocker is the Stats Can bureaucrat that resigned. I’m thinking that one less federal government employee is some good news not bad.
Phantom said “I think a check of records would show JournoList members and Obama campaign workers sharing a lot of phone calls and emails.”
The definition of theft has changed over the years when it comes to business. It’s just not stealing items it’s now stealing time or resources. Using phones for personal business. Personal emails. Or just spending time on a personal project but collecting pay cheques from your employer. I would think that some of these papers owners, shareholders whatever are going to want their pound of flesh if they are going under. I think these journalist just put themselves into the spotlight. The double whammy of a criminal charge and a civil lawsuit can really do a lot of damage. Hopefully they in turn will rat out the editors.
Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
During the inaugural events I cried too, mind you it was for entirely different reasons than hope, change or joy.
I cannot continue reading this, it turns my stomach.
Think of the money saved by a 250,000 guy quitting.
I think he expects the govt to come crawling back to him. He thought he was boss and found out he isn’t.
From the archive:
MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I’m looking across the street at my polling place, and the line is wrapped around the block. I nearly burst into tears when I saw it. I’m feeling like today is closing the door on a terrible era, and opening another. I’m glad you started this thread because I was feeling kind of like I was the only one who is deeply emotional today.
You just failed J-school, Moira. One horrible era over, and the dawning of a new? A new what, a new era? A new *horrible* era?
Heck, that would fail a grade 10 english class.
I started reading this, and thought…this must be satire, the guys at Daily Caller must have made this up for kicks….
but then I remembered the “thrill up my leg” statement from Chris Matthews, and thought yep this is real…
Here’s another great piece showing how deeply coordinated the journolists [sic] were in their attacks against Sarah Palin.
To answer Kate’s question. Thicks as thieves who found the door open at Ft. Knox.
I can understand an enthusiasm for a Candidate but not workmanship of a man. To lie & falsify for an ideology is to betray any meaning at all to any so called truth, including theirs.
What struck me was the violence several proposed with a fervid desire towards all Conservatives. As much as I despise Obama with his hordes, who here really thinks violence is a solution?
These are some deeply disturbed individuals. This is why free speech is so necessary. Without this we now wouldn’t know who the nuts are in the Banana split?
Now we do.
JMO
“..who here really thinks violence is a solution?”
I do. It’s not the first problem solver I reach for but sometimes it is the only one that works. Ok I don’t want to kill Obama but I’d like to smack around the lefty green university professor who runs a major part of Hamilton and thinks bike paths and trees are more important than people.
Seriously though. If it wasn’t for the threat of violence the left would be pushing us into the cattle cars right now.
We’ll know it’s really over when self-doubt creeps in.
Oh wait, the human life span is only about eighty years. Well, how about trumpet blasts then?
