Daily Caller reporter Matthew Boyle, during an email fight with DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse:

When the media becomes the news, everyone is entertained. Media scandals are the best scandals of all, for their enjoyable mix of forced professionalism and palpable discomfort. Come; let us look back at the year's ten best.

Politico's Roger Simon is depressed, for journalism has been destroyed. Not by his own Politico, though! By the fact that some liberal bloggers and professors had an off-the-record listserve, Journolist, where they would talk about politics. How will America survive?

Dave Weigel, the smart young blogger canned by the Washington Post for saying mean things about Matt Drudge in personal emails, is joining Slate as a political reporter. Fun fact: Slate is owned by the Washington Post Company. [The Upshot]

Conservative activist or news aggregator or whatever he calls himself Andrew Breitbart wants to expose the "Democrat-Media Complex" and will pay a $100,000 bounty to whomever can get him the full archives of the private (mostly) liberal listserve, JournoList.

In your paradigm-shifting Tuesday media column: Conde Nast dumbs down, Lara Logan dumbs up, Dave Weigel lands a part-time job, London reporters get paid by the cops, and Glenn Beck has sold quite a few books.

Former Washington Post "conservative movement" reporter Dave Weigel, who resigned last week after some unflattering (but silly!) private listserve emails about Matt Drudge and other conservatives leaked, has spoken up: he should never have written those things, but come on.

Recently hired Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel, who wrote a great blog about the conservative movement for them, has resigned after some blunt private emails to his "friends" were released to the public. Nice going, everyone!

Today, Mediabistro published some funny off-the-record comments from Washington Post liberal opinion columnist Dave Weigel. He said that Matt Drudge should "set himself on fire"! Ha ha. Should he, though?

In your biased Tuesday media column: a WaPo reporter loses all credibility with hateful Jesus wingnuts, yet another Tumblr-to-book deal, the entire media apparatus struggles to figure out the internet's secrets, and a new poll proves nobody is credible.

Paul Carr heckled his own conference; Courtney Love taunted the universe and Kanye West taunted one tweeter's fantasyland. The Twitterati were beyond punchy.
