I’m proud to announce that I have finally made a cameo appearance in the great JournoList donnybrook. (Background here if you have better things to do with your life than keep up with stuff like this.) The thousand-point headline at the Daily Caller screams “Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright” — which I suppose is accurate enough if you consider “plotting” to include things like a bunch of liberals composing an open letter to George Stephanopoulos complaining about his moderation of one of the Democratic primary debates. Which, apparently, the Daily Caller does.

Sadly, my role in this drama is small, since I virtually never participated in JournoList in the first place. Still, I guess I’m now officially part of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. I can die happy.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
