Mickey Kaus opens up the Secret Libthinker e-Mail List

It's the kind of list Ed Cone really REALLY wishes he was on.

Kaus:
"Kausfiles has obtained a copy of one JournoList discussion, focusing on New Republic editor-in-chief Martin Peretz (for whom I once worked.) This is not a parody! It's the real thing. I don't know whether or not it is representative. I've edited it only to remove potentially defamatory passages--those cuts are marked--and left out various boilerplate links and commands embedded in the thread, such as "Print" and "Report this message." ... I won't add my own commentary, at least for now. Find your own lede! ... Reminder to JournoList organizer E. Klein, who likes to take it private: All communications are on the record. ..."

    That would imply a lack of standard for inclusion, a lack of good judgment, a fondness for minor league bretheren, or any combination thereof.

    On second thought, considering the worldview that many of those listers have, those conditions may well be possible.

    As an example, look at who they overwhelmingly supported in the last presidential election.

    There's many reasons why they're called the "Tank Media".
