Media Matters' Tax-Exempt Attacks on Fox News Are Illegal, Says Attorney
Fox Nation ^ | June 22, 2011 | The Washington Times

Posted on 06/22/2011 7:57:35 PM PDT by caseyn

David Brock, the conservative turned liberal advocate, has recently garnered a considerable amount of press coverage for his attacks on Fox News for, among many other things, allegedly taking over leadership of the Republican Party. What the news coverage has ignored is his use of tax-free funds for his organization, Media Matters for America (MMA), for these attacks - a form of government support for activities that clearly do not merit tax-exempt status and that as a result infringe on Fox News' First Amendment rights.

Does Media Matters really matter? I think not.

Media Matters is a irrelevent little band of nosepickers, but they should have their tax-exempt status yanked.

What sort of head injury or tumor causes a conservative to turn liberal?

Liberal churches never have their tax exempt status challenged or revoked. Why would anyone be surprised by Media Matters not having their's revoked.

And of course this begs the question as to why any news organization should be getting such a gift anyway.

David Brock,... recently garnered a considerable amount of press coverage... for his attacks on Fox News for taking over leadership of the Republican Party.

Yeah, that’s it, Shep Smith, Juan Williams, Bill O’Reilley -those are the real leaders of the Republican Party.

Lack of sufficient body weight in one's slip-on leather footwear.

A conformist can be either left wing or right wing...and will be whichever he "feels" like at the time. He will usually imagine he is independently minded, but will really be responding to perceived social pressure.

Independent thinkers can be left wing if they are not very bright or have not taken the time to really dig into the big issues of our time.

Independent thinkers who see through it all, are conservative and will always be conservative. Once somebody knows what it is like to see with their eyes, they will always know the difference between light and dark.

“What sort of head injury or tumor causes a conservative to turn liberal?”

None.

All that is required is that one find himself to be able to be bought by the highest bidder, and to have no integrity whatsoever.

See? It’s easy...;o)
