Not that it surprises anyone. Klein whines about how once Tucker Carlson – of The Daily Caller – asked to join the journalist

“I hoped to let my quick accounting of the constant inaccuracies in the Daily Caller’s selective quotations from Journolist stand as my last word on the matter. But Tucker Carlson’s sanctimonious and evasive statement on the way his site has been covering this story deserves a response. So allow me one more post.

Tucker’s note doesn’t bother to mention the actual questions that have been raised: That his stories have misstated fact, misled readers, and omitted evidence that would contradict his thesis. He doesn’t explain how a thread in which no journalists suggested shutting down Fox News can be headlined “Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News.” He doesn’t tell us why an article about the open letter that originated on the list left out the fact that I subsequently banned any future letters from the list. He doesn’t detail why his stories haven’t mentioned that one of his own reporters was on the list — his readers would presumably be interested to know that the Daily Caller was part of the liberal media conspiracy.

Instead, Tucker says, well, trust him. “I edited the first four stories myself,” he writes, “and I can say that our reporter Jonathan Strong is as meticulous and fair as anyone I have worked with.”

If this series now rests on Tucker’s credibility, then let’s talk about something else he doesn’t mention: I tried to add him to the list. I tried to give him access to the archives. Voluntarily. Because though I believed it was important for the conversation to be off-the-record, I didn’t believe there was anything to hide.”

Klein goes on to post Tucker’s email asking to join.

“Dear Ezra,

I keep hearing about how smart the policy conversations on JournoList are, and am starting to feel like I’m missing out by not reading them. Could I join?

I realize you and I don’t share the same politics, but I can promise you I have no interest in flaming anyone or even debating (I get enough of that). I’m just interested in knowing what smart progressives are saying. It strikes me that’s the one thing I’m missing in my daily reading.

Please tell me what you think. If it makes you uncomfortable, ask around. I’m pretty sure we know a lot of the same people.

All best,

Tucker Carlson.”

So Klein’s got a case of the ass because Tucker “snookered” him. Waaaah.

None of Klein’s whining excuses the fact that collusion – no matter what the size – took place between so-called journalist on the left, that’s the scandal. Journalist have always infiltrated in order to get the story, the story. Tucker Carlson did that, it’s applaudable.

Still the story – that so-called journalist conspired – in whatever measure – to get Barack Obama elected is Mr. Klein, a scandal. It’s huge, it’s newsworthy and yes – a confirmation of what we conservatives have been saying for years about the liberal media.

That’s the point.
