Talking Points and the Major Media

This Post continued from here, here and here.

Ah, another "tributary of Washington politics" splashes out of the shadows into the light of day. Politico again has the story, this time about an "off-the-record online meeting space called JournoList" where only left leaning media participate. Note the referrence to some participants as "policy wonks." Where policy wonks appear, can administration or Democrat officials be far behind?

For the record, Ezra Klein (no relation) breaks the formal Code of Silence of list-participants to insist,"Government employees have never been, and are not now, allowed on the list." Immediately thereafter hushed Silence became the rule again. Perhaps Mr. Klein suddenly became aware of a government threat to impose a 90% tax rate on his earnings? We'll probably never know.
