JournOList still troubles some reporters, and Chuck Todd too

First, I remember seeing NBC's current White House chief correspondent on Russert the first time and asking "Who the hell is THAT guy?" He was their connection to the blogosphere, the semi-dark world of the InterWeb. That was the big new thing, and Mr. Todd was their guru.

Now he's complaining that The Right is using the secret JournOList (O for Obama) to smear journalists in general.

The funny part of his quote is where he refers to himself as a real journalist. No disrespect, but Mr. Todd, you're not qualified to take notes for a "real" journalist. When I find out different, I'll update this blog listing. You worked some with Mr. Russert -- think hard -- are you really a "real" journalist?

JournOList, by the way, was a way for journalists to secretly control the news during the campaign, and to make sure that Obama got favoritism in the media. Shocked? Don't be. The shocking part is that nobody is really concerned about it or reporting it, they've moved on to the Wikileaks thing.

Yawn.
