Yes, Chris, it has been rumored there is a developing new JOURNOLIST by Ezra Klein et. al. called the CABALIST.

Blogosphere, please join me in celebrating the birth of Cabalist, the wittily-named successor to Ezra Klein’s infamous Journolist, the listserv of liberal bloggers, pundits and academics that inadvertently brought down (very temporarily) the ex-Washington Post blogger Dave Weigel, and which is now the  subject of an endless and embarrassing (for certain former Journolist participants) investigation by The Daily Caller, which has discovered e-mail chains suggesting that certain Journolist members were secretly devising partisan campaigns to advance Democratic Party interests.

Guess the LEFT loves the GROUP THINK and need to coordinate their political messages for their political hack friends. Or maybe they just need some therapy and reassurance that their message is acceptable?

I belong to a listserv called Rightblogs which is run by that Truth Laid Bear guy and if anyone thinks the RIGHT journalists try for group think? Uhhhhh NO!

Well, ask Rob and he can mail you the archives.

For a price, of course.

The Day by Day Archive

Say it ain’t so, Chris.

You mean the LEFT-leaning MSM and New Media folks actually participated in group-thinlk promoting their causes and candidates, like Barack Obama?

I guess so and The Daily Caller has been publishing the archives of Journolist which were deleted by Ezra Klein when it became apparent that the “journalist” corruption would be further exposed and after Dave Weigel was fired (resigned) from the Washington Post.

Let’s look at the listsev when their candidate Barack Obama won the Presidency:

Nov. 3:

DAVID ROBERTS, GRIST: It’s all I can do not to start bawling.

LUKE MITCHELL, HARPER’S: I’m picturing something like VJ Day in Times Square. Seriously!

JOHN BLEVINS, SOUTH TEXAS COLLEGE OF LAW: It’s all I can do to hold it together.

Nov. 4:

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.

HENRY FARRELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: I had
to close my office door yesterday because I was watching YouTube videos
of elderly African Americans saying what this meant to them and tearing
up.

JOSH BEARMAN, LA WEEKLY: 11 months
ago I burst into tears by myself on a plane while watching Hardball when
my mind wandered to the image of President Obama being sworn in. I’ve
been fighting it ever since.

EZRA KLEIN, AMERICAN PROSPECT: OHIO!

ALEC MCGILLIS, WASHINGTON POST: If you need further
proof that VA is looking to go blue, check out what’s going on in VA-5
in deepest Southside Virginia, where Tom Perriello, my college roommate
and a very good guy, is now up .06 percentage points — 2,000 votes —
against Virgil Goode with 88 percent reporting.

GREG ANRIG, THE CENTURY FOUNDATION: This is really happening.

ADELE STAN, THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM: At last I can breathe.

SPENCER ACKERMAN, WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT: YES WE DID!

STEVEN TELES, YALE UNIVERSITY: I’m not sure why, but
this part of the Battle Hymn of the Republic came to me . . . . Glory!
Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.

SPENCER ACKERMAN: [quoting Obama] “…we may not get there in one year or in one term, but America I promise you, we as a people will get there.”

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

MICHAEL TOMASKY, THE GUARDIAN: I’m just jelly. Lord!

HAROLD POLLACK, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO: I am awed by
the responsibility we have taken on. Tomorrow a desperately ill
African-American woman will present at my university hospital for care,
and she will be turned away. She will expect us to live up to what we
feel tonight. So we’ve got a lot to live up to.

ADAM SERWER, AMERICAN PROSPECT: My take.

SPENCER ACKERMAN: Goddamn, did an Obama speechwriter ghost that post? That’s pitch-perfect, Adam. Take a bow.

RYAN DONMOYER, BLOOMBERG NEWS: Best quip I heard
today, courtesy of a Facebook friend: “I wonder if Sarah Palin is still
unclear about what a community organizer does.”

Nov. 5

SETH MICHAELS, MYDD.COM: there are flag-waving whooping crowds around the white house. afl-cio hq is insane here.

KATE STEADMAN, KAISER HEALTH NEWS: i can’t
imagine anything like it except a world series/superbowl win, and
several of my co-walkers told me it never gets the entire city so riled.
 i think what makes it even more amazing is the incredible diversity in
this city and how we all came together for this, especially in victory.

MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I’ve never felt anything like U Street tonight. Huging, kissing strangers…everything.

I agree with Althouse and Dan Riehl over the Dave Weigel resignation from the Washington Post.

What was Ezra Klein thinking when he started JournoList in the first place? Well, obviously, there have been some unintended consequences.

But, Weigel has nobody to blame but himself.
