Among the other Journolist revelations

is the level of hate a lot of these reporters have:
In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”
There's a nice progressive viewpoint for you: if you can't jail someone for saying things you don't like, you can at least enjoy their death.

Speaking of nice progressives,
“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.”
Yeah, because these clowns want someone having a 'semblance of control' over- oh, wait, not over themselves, only over media they don't like. Yeah. You know, proper censorship.
