JournoList is a now-defunct private email listserv of hundreds of left wing journalists, educators, and pundits that was created in 2007 by the Washington Post's Ezra Klein.[1] The collusion among members sought to surpress stories unfavorable to liberals and attack conservatives by labeling them racist. Among the stories circulating from the journolist is the attempt to shield candidate Barack Obama from the relationship of his racist pastor of twenty-years Jeremiah Wright. Then there is the coordinated attack on Sarah Palin and her family.[2] Also, conversations by Sarah Spitz talking gleefully how she would love to see the death of Rush Limbaugh.[3][4] Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson of The Daily Caller broke the story. Americans have known for years that liberal journalists were deceitful but the information about JournoList provided proof that there is a vast left-wing media conspiracy. These people put liberalism before journalistic integrity, further weakening any credibility they may have had with the American people.


“ Liberals on JournoList Would Watch Limbaugh Die, Press DNC, Obama to Refuse to Recognize Fox News...And Worse.[5] ”


“ The [JournoList] is troubling. At one level it could be thought of as just colleagues throwing ideas out to one another, but from another standpoint it almost looks like collusion … where virtual talking points are shared and solidified in a group.[6] ”

Death Wish

“ They're leftists disguised as lawyers, judges, scholars, professors, teachers, reporters, anchors, senators, representatives, legislative aide, congressional staff, federal bureaucrats, and on and on. There is no media. We know that now. - Rush Limbaugh ”


“ It's not just that they hate how I became who I am. They literally hate who I am. They literally hate me. They hate me, these journalists, these so-called journalists hate me because I am the most prominent, effective, unrelenting voice of conservatism, and they haven't been able to stop me. No matter what they've thrown at me, they haven't been able to stop me. These people and their tactics are not new. We've seen it before in other countries, in other times. They want to destroy contrary and opposition voices and views. They will climb over the law and the people to achieve their aims. - Rush Limbaugh ”
