The listserv club Daily Caller somehow got excerpts of back in 2010 or so.

Not full transcripts, and I don't really buy the "conspiracy" conspiracy theory.. I DO think it gives a peek behind the curtain at how these guys think.

Didn't want to muddy the op with my thoughts:

One thing that sticks out, is the hate is real. I'm only guessing its comparable to the hate I've seen up close from true blue Righties, but my god do these people take their politics way too seriously. They're the flawed but well meaning side (Too much work trying to be "good"wink, the other guys are the devil. Always the same, on either side.


There's quite a few disturbing quotes, imo.. For example, one guy says "(The president of Fox) knows his job is to create a tribal identity, not a news organization."


That could mean he thinks Fox isn't meant to be news, and Fox alone. OR it could mean he thinks the job of news is tribal politics, period. All news.

Master Control Unit help us all, if its the second.

A few more:

One journalist admits, outright, that the white house leaks news to both sides, depending on political need. He implied no one really does actual digging beyond these press releases.



Another one claimed the mainstream media squash's stories that actually helps the people. These are mere employees, after all, so I can believe they hardly comtrol a new organizations true objectives.
