Brad DeLong Is a Pretentious, Ethics-Free Partisan Hack (Part of a Series)

Journolist is a, until recently, secret e-mail list where reporters, left-wing academics and think tankers and Democratic activists conspire to slant the news discuss the day's events.

Of course, the revelation that they are doing this has caused a little controversy. Most of the list members have been pretty mum. But Brad DeLong wrote Mickey Kaus to deny that the list is an "echo chamber."

Really? DeLong's behavior on his own blog shows he doesn't seem to be the type to go for unfettered acadmeic debate or to engage honestly with truly opposing viewpoints, ones that question his fundamental assumptions. SO what other sort of e-mail list would he be participating in?
