    They have been caught again! These scumbags were exposed previously when they formed "Journolist". It was so bad that when they got exposed for conspiring to push a "Progressive" left wing agenda, they shut it down 100%. Obviously, these colluding left wing scumbags not only started up a new one, but even bigger than ever!!!!

    1,000 Member Secret Progressive Journalist Group Exposed!

    A prominent CNN commentator, the top two political reporters for The Huffington Post, a Reuters reporter, the editor of The Nation magazine, a producer for Al Jazeera America television, a U.S. News & World Report columnist, and approximately two dozen Huffington Post contributors are among the more than 1,000 members of Gamechanger Salon.

    Founded by leftwing activist Billy Wimsatt, the group is a secretive digital gathering of writers, opinion leaders, activists and political hands who share information, ideas and strategy via a closed Google group.

    The group’s existence was discovered by Media Trackers through an open records request filed with a University of Wisconsin professor who happened to be a member of the network.

    Sally Kohn, formerly a Fox News contributor, now works for CNN reliably echoing pro-Obama Administration talking points and championing leftwing ideas as a network commentator. Kohn is also a member of Gamechanger Salon, and e-mails show that she occasionally approached the group’s membership and asked them to promote her television appearances.

    This is not what a "Free Press" is supposed to be about. This is propaganda and agenda pushing by Marxist / Socialists in mass.

    Quite frankly, many of the left wing posters here (the hardcore lockstep ones that constantly push Huffington Post, MSNBC, etc....) are nothing more than willing idiots spamming out these propaganda pieces. It's like they are taking their mindless marching orders instead of engaging in an open marketplace of ideas.

    These rotten bastards ought to be flushed from the scene.

    We all knew they were colluding and delivering the same propaganda. It's amazing that after these arrogant scumbags got caught once, they did it again.

    I always knew they were colluding with the coverage. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times all carry nearly the exact same stories with the exact same level of attention. The nightly news broadcasts have the same stories in virtually the same order. Meanwhile, specific stories are ignored or dismissed like: IRS Attack on TEA Party, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Scott Walker Success in Wisconsin, and so many more.

    I'm not surprised at all. Our entire MSM is a joke.

    "Government schools have a spending problem, not a funding problem. But it doesn’t just come down to dollar and cents, or who has the decision-making power. What is being taught also matters. It has been said that politics is downstream from culture and education was one sector leftists sought to control. Who controls how and what children learn wields a tremendous amount of power and is directly impacting the future of America. We have seen case after case of activists bringing their personal political agenda into the classroom to indoctrinate students into a leftist mindset."

    Not trying to echo what my teachers have taught me but, it would seem to me you shouldn't use a source when they have a page dedicated to explaining their bias.

    So speaking about trying to get bias out of the classroom makes you biased? Interesting Krane.

    If the source says that the liberals are out to take control of our education, do you really think they're going to have a fair and balanced approach when it comes to news?

    That's why they go into it the journalism field to begin with. Generations past went into journalism to witness then report events to the rest of us. Now they believe that are there to change the world. In other words, they now go into journalism for partisan purposes.

    Liberals believe one conservative media person is the balance against thousands of liberals.

    Because it makes no sense? The bias against liberals is going to be there when they say that the liberals shouldn't be trusted.

    This group truly is the 5th Column, and a pathetic excuse for calling themselves journalists. Journalism used to be such a noble profession, and people like these have ruined the hard work real journalists do

    If I hate someone, and tell another person that you shouldn't trust that someone, don't you see the bias I have?

    When did we go from a discussion of bias to hate? Or as a Progressive are you so used to throwing that word out that it was a Freudian slip?

    1. I'm a moderate with collective Anarchist leanings.
    2. It was an example that used the logic here to explain why it was wrong.

    _________________________


    USING YOUR WORDS, NOT MINE!!! Your source, NOT MINE! You mentioned this group included SEVERAL MEDIA SOURCES. Where are they?? None appear on the list!! Where's the]JOURNALISM[/B] members! Here's the list from YOUR SOURCE, not mine!! NONE of these organizations are JOURNALISTIC ORGANIZATIONS. Are they allowed to write (*)(*)(*)(*)?? WELL DUH?? SEIU, Planned Parenthood ,AFL/CIO writes lots of stuff. They ain't MSM or anything near it!! That's absurd.

    The rest of your source doesn't mention a news source except Huffington where one the founder of this new group 'contributed' articles to HUFF POST up to 2012. (That never happens in RIGHT WING CIRCLES. Except when it does. KARL ROVE DOES OP EDS for the NY TIMES). And the whole rest of your article talks about PEOPLE WHO WORKED GETTING OBAMA ELECTED. Not journalists. And an Ohio fellow who worked OH DEM POLITICS--not a journalist!

    And this excerpt from YOUR article...

    Other portions of the extensive membership document recommend movies, songs, television shows, recommended websites and blogs, and goals for the online Gamechanger community. Two of the goals listed are “Recruit 200 key community-based organizers, especially women and people of color,” and “Recruit 100 key diverse bloggers, movement journalists, and pundits.” Another goal involves theorizing about a “TED-like conference for folks.”
    SO WHERE ARE THE LIST OF JOURNALISTIC SOURCES in this mix??

    Now UNLESS you show us a LIST so we can pick out the 'journalists' you GOT NOTHING--YET! I actually know a couple of PROGRESSIVE BLOGGERS who could be considered MOVEMENT JOURNALISTS, kinda--I guess. (I'll call them tomorrow, they'll be VERY HAPPY to know their status has been kicked up) But I think they have a hellua way to go!


    And even SUPORTERS from your article want more information...

    More extensive membership list and detailed calendar provide insight into leftwing organizing

    This is what I read using YOUR MEDIA TRACKERS! And hurrrrrrrahhhhhhh!!! (It's about damn time!) (Not that I DON'T think there are MANY REDUNDACIES HERE, believe me! But I'll take networking of a bunch groups and HOPEFULLY they can't garner some synergism! With or without MSM NEWS SOURCES that you claim are a part of the group! (I am ecstatic you all /B] have elevated HUFFINGTON POST to MSM STATUS! They must be so proud!!!

    from YOUR POST...

    Gamechanger Salon is a members-only Google group run by Billy Wimsatt for forward thinking and top-level political activists on the Left. Members of the group include senior level political hands at NARAL, the SEIU, the AFL-CIO and Planned Parenthood, among dozens of other groups

    An extensive membership list and a calendar of events offer insight into a leftwing network first revealed by Media Trackers last week. Gamechanger Salon is a members-only Google group run by Billy Wimsatt for forward thinking and top-level political activists on the Left. Members of the group include senior level political hands at NARAL, the SEIU, the AFL-CIO and Planned Parenthood, among dozens of other groups.

    Media Trackers first uncovered the network in records obtained through an open records request filed with a University of Wisconsin professor. The membership list released today is far more detailed than the list released last week, and the calendar offers insight into the group’s plans for coordinated action in the future.

    Wimsatt, the moderator of Gamechanger Salon according to a member policy manual, currently works as chief ideas officer at Gamechanger Labs, an incubator for leftwing political and social action with the motto, “R&D for the movement.” In 2008, Wimsatt worked for the Obama campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party, according to his LinkedIn profile. A former columnist he is the author of several books and contributed columns to the Huffington Post until 2012.

    Cool. I will assume then, you feel the same way about leftist claims of Republican "dog whistle" racism, then, right?

    To the topic, I wonder how many members of this newly outed cabal post to this very forum? Juicy.

    Secretive Leftwing Network Discovered through WI Records Law

    I enjoyed the part where it was suggested to the group...

    Creepy little beeches they are. Not even hiding in plain sight.

    ROFL! You expect the Liberal Mainstream Media to report on their collusion and bias? How many of them covered "Journolist"?

    How many networks last night and this morning carried the Democratic Senator from Montana's demise due to being a liar and plagiarist? How huge a story it would be if he had a (R) behind his name.

    Our national news media is Democratic Party Propaganda. I have a feeling we would have far less Democrats in office without these propagandists manipulating the under informed.

    If a liar lies, why would you believe him when he tells a truth? You're assuming this is a story based upon what a bias source says. It could be true, but if this is where it's coming from, I won't hold my breath on it. As for the plagarism scandal,

    It has received only a scant mention on CBS's morning show. No mention on CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, Good Morning America, or the Today show. Anyone can bury a piece on the internet. That is not properly covering a story of this magnitude when the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance. Your post is pure stupidity and ridiculous.

    Whereas, the Foley Scandal, Christie Bridge Event, Rubio Water Drink, Craig foot tap event, Walker Radio Show Spoof, etc... etc... etc... received hours of PRIME TIME air from the networks.

    How do you like your crow served?

    Preferably defeathered and cooked. The world doesn't revolve around one person. There are a lot of stories going on right now that people want to know about. They reported on it, they're doing their own thing. Reporting on other stories isn't a sign of irresponsibility, it's a sign of branching out.
