Praise For Media Matters

[McCamy Taylor]

I should not have to post this, but as the next primary food fight begins, I am afraid that I must.

Everything that the mainstream media print or says about the election will be LIES. All of its scripted by some special interest and then vetted by corporate media CEOs. A teeny-weeny little bit of it will be from Democratic special interests, like unions, women's rights groups etc. The rest will be from major corporations.

If you don't want to get caught drinking the Kool Aid as so many DUers got caught recently when they swallowed the Email faux scandal hook line and sinker, start reading Media Matters every single day. Because in a country where the news is owned by a few special political interests, the news is the news.

1. Good post!

2. It's not a faux scandal; it was crap coverage.

It illustrated the reckless disregard Hillary has for protocol, security, and transparency.

Trying to whitewash this is a dumb move.

11. Media Matters is run by Hillary's guy, David Brock

That would explain the whitewash. And we will see much more like it as this drags on.

Also~

Former chief of staff to president Bill Clinton John Podesta provided office space for Media Matters early in its formation at the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank which Podesta established in 2002.[23] Hillary Clinton advised Media Matters in its early stages out of a belief that progressives should follow conservatives in forming think tanks and advocacy groups to support their political goals.[23][24] Wiki

Also interesting~

In early 2014, Brock was named to the board of Priorities USA Action as the super PAC also announced its support for a possible Hillary Clinton presidential run in 2016.[14] In February 2015, Brock abruptly resigned his position with the super PAC.[15]

7. Believe it or not, some of our resident gunthusiasts prefer FAUX Noise and the Moonie Times

You can check out their reactions when I posted a mediamatters link to counter their Moonie Times "news" here http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=161272

15. I have another example of Media Matters making gunthusiasts angry just from tonight

(not that it takes much to make gunthusiasts angry or paranoid, otherwise they'd probably have other hobbies)
