Dave Weigel writes "How a small band of conservatives generated half of the Democratic Convention’s headlines" and calls it "The Age of Trolling."
Incredible coming from one of the members of JournOList, a list-serv of hundreds of members of the liberal media from major publications, some Obama officials and a variety of liberal bloggers and liberal political operatives who were outed as coordinating stories for the national press, making decisions on what news to not write about or tell their readers about to shape the coverage in 2008.
Some examples, shown in leaked emails, include their colluding to ignore the Jeremiah Wright connection to Barack Obama, coordinating attacks against Sarah Palin, discussing tactics to "distract" from a news story by creating a meme of "racism" about a conservative activist.
JournOList was disbanded after their collusion became mainstream news. Weigel himself ended up resigning from his former gig at Washington Post after his JournOList emails became public."
Example: “This would be a vastly better world to live in if Matt Drudge decided to handle his emotional problems more responsibly, and set himself on fire.”
More on JournoList, including a look at those leaked emails showing the major liberal media collusion, coordination and messaging, HERE, for those that weren't paying attention in 2010.
Now, Weigel, thinks that conservatives reporting on anything that isn't part of the liberal mainstream media meme, what they want reported, should be considered trolling.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so if we want unscripted news instead of what liberals think people should know while hiding what they don't want people to know, we should thank heavens for these so-called Weigel trolls?
Alright.
More trolls please.
