"Meet the New Journolist, Smaller Than the Old Journolist"

Here.

^The members of Cabalist, whose conveners are Jon Cohn of The New Republic (a great guy, by the way, but a bit too right-wing for me on matters of health-care reform), Michelle Goldberg (my favorite writer in all Creation), and Steven Teles (don't know him), spent much of yesterday debating whether to respond collectively or individually to the Daily Caller series, or to ignore it. This prompted one participant - I don't know who this was (thought I'm finding out) - to note, with unusual self-awareness for this group, that "it's pretty ironic that people seem to have made a collective decision not to write about this story because of the way that doing so might influence the media narrative."^

^In other words, members of Journolist 2.0 were debating whether to collectively respond to a Daily Caller story alleging - inaccurately, in their minds - that members of Journolist 1.0 (the same people, of course) made collective decisions about what to write.^

Now THAT'S funny!
