i think Newsbusters' tagline itself hasnt kept up with the pace of change in the leftist lurch over the last few years. it's no longer media "bias" - meaning an unintentional slant driven by their leftist perspective. What we have now isnt unintentional, it's purposeful...they absolutely know that they inject their personal politics into the selection of stories to trumpet (and which to bury), the framing of the issues, which facts to proof their points and which to ignore, etc.

They own the Congress, the Exec branch, the media, the educational system, the autos, the financial services industry, the States, the student loan business, healthcare, etc....they are one supreme court justice and an Amnesty bill away from checkmate against capitalism and the free enterprise system. they are so close, they can taste it.

Newsbusters has broken the story (a million times) along with people like Bernie Goldberg....but over time, as the public caught on and the cat got out of the bag, they didnt move center toward their journalistic oath of objectivity, they moved further left into propoganda - and shamelessly so.

it's not "bias" anymore, it's all out in the open, it's intentional and it's propaganda. because to them, the ends justify the means.

Comment of the Day RE Howard Kurtz Flacking for Journolist

"None of this quite adds up to a Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy,"
Let’s see…
…it was vast (over 400 “journalists”)
…it was Left-Wing
…and they conspired to control the news in order to facilitate their left-wing agenda.
So, tell me again how this ISN’T a vast left-wing conspiracy??!!

JournoList -- Is It A Vast Left Wing Conspiracy??? Did They Really Plant Accusations of Racism Just To Give Obama Cover??

Andrew Breitbart claims that JL is a conscious and planned conspiracy by leftist journalists to deliver biased news or no news at all of some events to the American public. Jonathan Strong in the Daily Caller has published some quotes from JournoList that give credibility to Breitbart's claims. When George Stephanopoulos hotly pursued the story about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright while questioning Barack Obama members of JL apparently became very angry and got together to circle the wagons rather than do journalism. They explicitly spoke of using the tactic of changing the subject by accusing leading Republicans of racism. I will close with four paragraphs from the Daily Caller story:

"Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”
"Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”
"Michael Tomasky, a writer for the Guardian, also tried to rally his fellow members of Journolist: “Listen folks–in my opinion, we all have to do what we can to kill ABC and this idiocy in whatever venues we have. This isn’t about defending Obama. This is about how the [mainstream media] kills any chance of discourse that actually serves the people.”
"“Richard Kim got this right above: ‘a horrible glimpse of general election press strategy.’ He’s dead on,” Tomasky continued. “We need to throw chairs now, try as hard as we can to get the call next time. Otherwise the questions in October will be exactly like this. This is just a disease.”"

Olberman and Matthews get on their knees and give Obama a super Lewinsky.
