Liberal Media's Echo Chamber: Can You Hear Us Now?

For the past two years, several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics have talked stories and compared notes in an off-the-record online meeting space called JournoList.
Politico, JournoList: Inside the echo chamber, March 17, 2009


Ben Smith writes about The New Liberal Media:

The liberal Center for American Progress is ramping up an in-house full-fledged, ideologically driven news organization aimed in part at tripping up Republican candidates on the ground in the early presidential contests.


The group, executives told POLITICO, now has 30 writers and researchers at ThinkProgress, its blog, which is being redesigned and relaunched in the coming weeks. The editorial staff, similar in size or larger than that of many political websites, marks the latest phase in the deliberate, decade-long construction of a liberal infrastructure for reporting, research, and hammering home a message that the right is scrambling to match.

“We see ourselves as a content provider,” said Jennifer Palmieri, the president of The Center for American Progress Action Fund, the group’s advocacy arm. “There actually is an echo chamber now.”

Oh, so now, 'there actually is an echo chamber'?
Welcome to The New Liberal Media--not so different from the old media.
Well at least they've come out of the chat room.
