Did I Get ‘Journolisted’?

Early on in the primaries, I noted in my blogs that I was seeing repetitive phrases and commentary from disparate newspapers. I suggested then that there was some type of coordination going on that was outside the normal business of straight journalism. This was especially noted when Palin was discussed as information which would be more tabloid in nature was suddenly offered as “news.” I think the tipping point was when a paid hacker broke into Bristol Palin’s emails and published them. In the meantime, anyone who dared to ask substantive questions of Obama was immediately silenced with the Race Card. I guess we are moving toward the post racial age Obama envisioned because frankly few people give much attention to the label of racist anymore. This collusion of ideas goes far beyond the loose meeting that people claim. Indeed, the closing of the Journolist threads points to the idea that there are other and far worse inclusions. So how much of the last campaign was orchestrated? Hard to say, but I do know that I was working on another campaign and we tried to get coverage. The media shut us down saying they were only covering Clinton and Obama and Romney and McCain-and this was at a point when McCain had lost several primaries. It just doesn’t pass the smell test. It’s as if they cast a reality show that just happened to be the election to run America. And if, down the line, they find a connection to Soros, this wouldn’t surprise me one little bit.
