"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

Journolist: Much Ado About Nothing

Matt Welch looks at the Daily Caller's claims that Journolist participants conspired to have the government shut down Fox News and finds little to support that claim. (But there's plenty to suggest the participants were arrogant jerks.)

Meanwhile, Instahack and other consertive sites join in the hate of the day, with plenty of uncritical acceptance of the story's claim, even calling the Journloistes Stalinists. Who needs an e-mail list when you've got groupthink?
