I'd like to know the justification for creating maintaining and participation in a listserv discussion group that has the potential to shape media coverage of politicians that share your idealogical persuasion and how that that coordination to shape messaging is not in effect a huge in kind coordinated political contribution and abuse of power.

What if conservatives did this, that would be a 'vast right wing conspiracy" or something like that. But when hundreds of the most prominent liberal media types do it , its business as usual, nothing wrong here, move along please. Give me a break.
