Soros must have given them another check from his ill gotten gains. They used the last one up on anal lube, leather chaps and man panties.
These nitwits target Fox, and the first one to be leaving is “Perky” Couric.
Re Garrett: I think you’ve nailed it.
MM will not rest until ALL media outlets are either neutralized or placed under the Obama-Democrat Party Commie umbrella. - Remember Pravda?
Are you now or have you ever been a Fox News watcher....

CS Lewis describes the “progressive” element of 1940’s England and the philosophy of control very well in the third book of his space trilogy - “That Hideous Strength”. Some of the story elements may now work now, but the empirical realities of the story... oh so apply for today
The World really had just fought a war of good vs. evil. We are in the mid stages now from that opening war. We are in the battle for the ideological soul of man and soon will be in battle (with Islam) for the religious soul of mankind — all good vs. evil skirmishes. For Christians, the overall war has already been won! But we have to still live in the interim.
“Truth” can be manufactured and used as a weapon. We see that every day. Real truth is embodied and leads to understanding and real life.
Our quest is discernment and then becoming a beacon.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just watch Glen Beck? Do they think they can stop the truth? Do they have enough fingers to put in the dikes?

Be careful, putting down is often more difficult than picking up.
It’s a good thing these Goebbel’s propagandists are crawling out of their rat holes and publicly identifying themselves. They’ve become demonstrative toward their fellow traitor in the whitehouse, thinking they have his protection and admiration, while also displaying an irrational boldness that’s fed by psychotic arrogance.
It's time to go thermo-nuclear on Soros and Media Matters.
“the nation’s largest defense contractor,told Neal Cavuto:”
I’m old enough to remember Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning.”In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
Here’s a great place to get info on Media Matters:
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7150
“In his farewell address to the nation, President Eisenhower warned that we should beware the unchecked power of the military-industrial complex. This speech is one of the greatest in American history, and prescient in understanding what was coming.”

If Major Garrett’s performance was militantly non-partisan, what in the world would his partisan persona do? Call for the deaths of anyone who doesn’t support the Won???
Media Matters is registered as a 501(c)(3).....that’s interesting. That’s how they funnel all the funny money.
“Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press,” its memo says.There is absolutely nothing wrong with criticizing people who call themselves "the press." Fox does that just like the rest of journalism does. The difference being, Fox isn't joined at the hip with the rest of journalism - so the rest of journalism attempts to peck it to death rather than defending it the way they would defend CBS if it had broadcast patently misleading/false misinformation (not that CBS would ever do that </sarcasm> ).
“Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.”From the foundation of the Republic, there was never a bright line - or really, any line at all - between "news organizations" and leadership of political parties. There could be a Jeopardy! category of "Newspapers with 'Democrat' in their name." Right through the Civil War era, newspapers were fractiously independent of each other, but not of political sympathies/affiliations.When President Washington's administration split into factions behind Thomas Jefferson, secretary of state, and Alexander Hamilton, secretary of the treasury, so too did the American press. In 1789, Federalist had helped John Fenno to launch a semiweekly newspaper in the capital of Philadelphia called The Gazette of the United States. Initially, with no advertising and few subscribers, the Gazette was kept afloat by public patronage; Fenno received printing orders from the Treasury, commissions to publish the federal laws from the State Department, and other jobs from the Senate. But as Fenno increasingly cast his lot with Hamilton, Jefferson became disquieted and, through Madison, urged Philip Freneau to come to Philadelphia to start a rival semiweekly. Jefferson lacked Hamilton's deep official pockets but arranged Freneau's appointment as clerk for foreign languages. Jefferson apologized for the minuscule annual salary of $250, but he added that "it gives so little to do, as not to interfere with any other calling the person may choose, which would not absent him from the seat of government." Jefferson and Madison acted as subscription agents compiling names of supporters and urging like-minded friends to take the paper.There being no implication of government funding of Fox News, these guys have no legitimate beef against Fox News. OTOH there is a perfectly legitimate case against NPR/CPB/PBS, which does use government funding to commit journalism. To claim that journalism is objective is absurd - the only way to even attempt being objective is to dissociate oneself from any implication that one's own objectivity is to be taken for granted. The person who makes open disclaimer of any motives he has for holding the opinions he espouses - e.g., any holdings of stock he may have in a particular company under discussion - may at least be trying to be objective. The person who does not do so is not trying to be objective - and won't be objective by accident.The appearance of Freaau's National Gazette in 1791 aggravated the divide with Hamilton. The split went public the next year when Hamilton wrote pseudonymous letters to Fenno's Gazette, revealing Freneau's State Department employment and charging that Jefferson was "institutor and patron" of the new paper. Freneau dryly noted in print that his compensation was paltry next to Fenno's, but he felt obliged to swear in an affidavit that "the Editor has consulted his own judgement alone in the conducting of it - free - unfettered - and uninfluenced." Jefferson responded to President Washington's dismay, asserting (technically correctly) that he had never written or provided any direction to Freneau. Nevertheless, when Jefferson resigned as secretary of state in 1793, Freneau lost his clerkship, and the paper expired.

Need to eliminate all of the 501c3’s no matter whose side they’re on.
According to the IRS.gov website, it looks like Media Matters may have a problem:
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.
Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.
The organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, and no part of a section 501(c)(3) organization’s net earnings may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. If the organization engages in an excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial influence over the organization, an excise tax may be imposed on the person and any organization managers agreeing to the transaction.
Section 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues.
