Media Matters, the War on Fox News and Me

[Casino67]

FoxNews:

At first glance “Media Matters” is a group that monitors the wild and crazy comments that are made on radio and television. There is nothing wrong with that. People should be accountable for their words – words have power.

Since they began work in 2004, however, the watchdog spirit of the group's founding has turned into an outright assault on its political opponents. That means they delight in attacking anyone with a conservative point of view on radio or TV. In fact, they have now announced they are engaged in a “war” against Fox News Channel and anyone who appears on their airwaves. They have also admitted to engaging in a despicable campaign to dig up dirt on Fox News executives and producers in an attempt to do personal damage to people who are guilty of offering the public political perspectives they find disagreeable.

That means they have targeted me. Yes, I am paid by Fox News to do political analysis. It is also true that on most issues I am left of center – what most on the far right call a liberal. And I go to political battle over ideas and policies by offering my views, hearing other viewpoints and often challenging conservative arguments on Fox.

Seems as though Fox has had enough of MM bullsh. They have been pounding them on almost every show lately. Someone of some import has to report MM to the IRS.

Good for Juan. He is right. These people are leftists not liberals. Conservatives would do well to avoid leftist tactics as well.

Several groups have publicly called for that very thing to happen. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

If you want to read one of the stranger and more bizarre turn arounds in political orientation (like 180 degrees) go read the founder of Media Matters David Brock's bio on liberal leaning wiki.

You're right, and strangely (or maybe not) vaguely...incomplete, particularly about his "Shift To The Left".

 

 

PS the instrument has yet been invented that can measure my lack of interest in Davids sex life.
