The Daily Caller has an explosive story up; more of the Journolist documents. Seems many lefty newsers are  to become embarrassed again by documents proving that much of the left-leaning media plotted to "kill stories about Reverend Wright" during Obama's run to the November 2008 election...

Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright

It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.

The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”

I thought Stephanopoulos' question was a bit weak at the time, given it was clear that both 'Reverend' Wright and Barack Hussein Obama were subsumed in Black Liberation Theology and both did have racist chips on their shoulders. But these lefty Journolist sorts thought differently...

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.”

Then and after, the media collusion began: SAVE OBAMA! OUR HERO! OUR PROGRESSIVE FUTURE! PRAISE the ONE!...

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.

What's surprising is finding "The Huffington Post" listed here as a true news organization. I would never consider Huff 'n Blow a credible source of any news or political information; they and their La Grande Dame are far below my level of contempt. They are on near-equal footing with Markos and his group of shit-flinging monkeys at the Daily Kos, AFAIC.

...but this the the most egregious line...

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.”

That, my friends, is the tactic the Left uses when they have nothing of substance and simply MUST stop any further activity or discussion on a particular subject.

This little turd Spencer Ackerman just landed at job at Wired, in their 'prestigious' Danger Room blog. Congrats, Wired, you've gained a leftist Race Joker, and lost a reader.
