Is the JournoList the Death of the Mainstream Media?

I have to agree with this article wholeheartedly.

For independents who don’t follow politics closely, the JournoList scandal provides a simple, blatantly obvious narrative about fraud and propaganda. A sizable segment of the “journalist” population stands revealed as sputtering extremists, who talk about killing stories and destroying people’s lives to protect their favored political candidate. Yes, these people are self-professed liberals – they’re not pretending to be “objective” reporters or news anchors – but the cross-pollination between “liberal” and “objective” journalists is a blindingly obvious matter of public knowledge, and the things they’re talking about doing are vile, underhanded, and conspiratorial.

I think the idea of the "objective" journalist will die because of this so-called Newsgate. I mean some of them had fantasies of watching Rush Limbaugh die as they stood there and laughed.

As reported in the Daily Caller, Sarah Spitz, producer* of the KCRW public radio program “Left, Right and Center,” which is heard on a number of NPR stations across the country, wrote on JournoList that if she witnessed Limbaugh dying of a heart attack, she would “laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out.”

I can't wait to tune into the "objective" reporting of KCRW public radio "Left, Right, and Center" (maybe they should change the name to Left, Far Left, and Communist) when their producer wants to laugh in the face of a dying Conservative. That is a woman I can trust to report the news "fair and square" without any bias when she is not fantasizing about watching people die. I don't like Rachel Maddow but I never had visions of me laughing in her face as she expired right in front of me. This kind of grotesque liberal sickness has finally been brought out into the light.

This is just like the ClimateGate emails in many ways. This finally shows Americans how they are being duped by the people they used to trust. ClimateGate shows that scientists "cook the books" and try to destroy reputations rather then present an unbiased view of their science. It got people to think about what hidden motives these scientists actually harbor. Are they slanting the science for money or prestige or just to run the show when it comes to world economies?

Newsgate shows that the media tells only certain stories and buries what goes against their ideological narrative. These reporters are seen duping the American people into, for instance, voting for an unready candidate just because he was the media darling. It will have Americans asking what other sorts of stories do the media like to bury? Who else do they want to see die as they laugh in their face? How deep does this conspiracy go? Should I keep paying for the Washington Post if they are simply printing propaganda that is filtered through their far left lens?

In many ways this might be the gravestone of the modern media establishment. Already newspapers can barely stay solvent and magazines are closing their doors. Now we have the revelation that many of their contributors and confidants are bunch of vile underhanded hacks that fantasize about watching you die if you are middle of the road or conservative.

Any readers that they have that are not far leftists probably don't want to read propaganda day in and day out. Americans don't like to be tricked or have someone tell them what news is safe for them to read. Now we have bald-faced proof that a large portion of the media cannot be trusted to be objective anymore.Conservatives knew this for years but now everyone else will.

I think the Dems should write the "Leftist Media Bailout Bill" or maybe consider nationalizing them because their slow march to oblivion might have just turned into a headlong rush.
