Dangerous: A writer at feminist blog Jezebel has inadvertently revealed another secret avenue journalists from across several prominent media platforms use to collude narratives.
The Jezebel story, headlined “Private Messages Reveal the Cis Journalist Groupthink Behind Trans Media Narratives,” intended to challenge a prominent writer for the Atlantic who specializes in transgender issues. But it ended up revealing that even impeccably well-credentialed liberal academics and journalists are totally fed up with the hysterical, anti-science, unsatisfiable, abusive trans lobby.
The closed listserv hosted on Google Groups and secretly leaked to Jezebel has existed for nearly a decade and has over 400 prominent figures in journalism, academia, and publishing as members, including award-winning reporters, New York Times writers, and contributors to the Washington Post.
According to Jezebel, which redacted names of the listserv members, the shadowy cabal’s “About” page says it is a “off-the-record discussion forum for left-of-center journalists, authors, academics and wonks.”
“These members include New York Times best-selling authors, Ivy League academics, magazine editors, and other public intellectuals—in short, a lot of important people who influence public discourse through their written work. They use the listserv’s forum to discuss current events, news from their respective fields, articles they’ve read, articles they’ve written, and other topics of public importance,” Jezebel reports.
Jesse Singal, the Atlantic writer and member of the listserv, caught the ire of Jezebel after publishing a story attempting a reasoned and academic approach to discussing transgender issues, particularly where children are concerned, and following several stories focusing on “desistance,” when people who at one time think they are transgender later realize they are not.
The Jezebel writer says he had “become deeply uncomfortable with the narratives [Singal] has centered” and calls Singal’s reporting unfair and opportunistic. “He has the support of a closed group of some of the most influential people in journalism, many of whom are currently lauding him for doing discredited and discrediting work,” Jezebel writes. read more
“According to Jezebel, which redacted names…”
Ineffective, non committal jerkoffs.
What are you afraid of? Effete leftists? Sucks to live in fear.
JournoLIST 3.0?
This is where the cabal makes up the news to fit their equally made up narrative.
This type of collusion should be so illegal that it carries the death penalty as it’s a direct threat to the Republic.
The people’s enemy are their own enemy as well. lol
The Dem elites are being bullied by their children. Elite Gaystapo Journos battling it out with Gay Resistance Journos…what’s not to like? Ocasio-Cortez helpfully explaining socialism to “older Americans”…It doesn’t get much better than that. To the ramparts, comrades!
There are probably a dozen more of these large but hidden sub rosa groupthink operations that influence the major media to stay hard left.
So really, back when “Journalist” was exposed, did anyone actually believe that would be the end of it? They just set up shop under a new name.
But, like cockroaches, they scurry into hiding when exposed to bright light. Just keep lighting them up!
@ MJA – of course there is yet another Fourth Estate, Marxist term not mine, colluding GANG…silly!
There are more, from where these subversives come from.
Keep watch.
