The conspiracy under the guise of journalism to advocate a cause and to slant bad news most favorably to one side or the other is just plain fraud. Primo veritas is no longer the motto of far to many journalists. A group such as Journolist is deceit of the worst kind. No self respecting journalist can remain in such a group. But I suppose that the “heros” will slap themselves on the back rather than rat on the frauds amongst them. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. Staying in the barrel rots them all soon enough. Now you know! And this is the truth.

You were the real heroes. Yeah we get it.

You allowed the conspiracy to continue. You didn’t report it. You didn’t come clean until you were caught. You didn’t even apologize.

Yeah, real heroes alright. More like real criminals seeking to escape the net.

A handful out of about 400… Hum, so that’s about 1%. Interesting!

They have a feminine look. Probably “The Gay Journo’s.”

We don’t care who they screw in their personal lives. It’s who they’ve screwed with their propaganda that has earned out disgust.

Wow, fan — I am so impressed that you can read Mika’s Blackberry screen from where you’re sitting! Or can you just read minds?

Wishing Daily Caller would establish some standards for their comments. There’s an awful lot of nasty muck to wade through here, and not much cogent opinion/

Jonathan -

Good for you for pointing out those who had the integrity to actually embrace Journalism over Journolistim.

Considering they were only half serious, I wouldn’t give them the full percentage point.

You have a strange notion of hero. Feeble efforts for a semblance of integrity. Can we instead refer to them as hoagies or grinders?

I find Toobin absolutely loathsome!

Okay, okay . . . Some you best friends are “heroes” . . .

They all bent over and spread their cheeks. Some with slightly less alacrity than others, but they all bowed together.

Did it hurt in the end? I suppose they’d say “A little at first.”

Great point jack: 4 out of 400+/-…1% of the entire group…comforting thought, ain’t it?

4 out of how many? Small percentage of so called decent people on Journolist, not impressed.

What this tells me. They’re not all ethically challenged scumbags… just most of them.

Nice to know that at least a FEW members of Journo-List have a modicum of integrity. I wouldn’t say they are HERO”S, however. They were DOING THEIR JOBS!!

Wow, Heros for doing their job. Well I guess they should get a cookie for something, even the expected.

Looks like Ezra Klein wanted this thing to be something other than it turned out being, and he still can’t accept what it became to this day.

The misleading Hasan coverage still Infuriates me, it is no surprise to me that their reluctance to tie the event to Islamic extremism was deliberate. It had nothing to do with finding out all the facts, but had everything to do with ideology, I still can’t believe they tried to lecture us about second hand PTSD, unbelievable.

Maybe not heroes, but I’ll give ‘em an attaboy. I’m frustrated with media, pundits and activists on the right and the left that turn a blind eye to corruption and double standards when it’s on their own team.
