I’m pretty sure MM has already had a verifiably false claim against Fox.

I was walking through a shopping center parking lot this past week when a bumper sticker caught my eye and I did a double-take.

It read, “STOP watching Fox News: It’s Bad for America.” There were two of these on the vehicle. I searched my purse in vain for a Sharpie and some post-its, which I did not have, to leave a message.

As luck would have it, the driver returned. She was a black lady. I said, “Excuse me, are you serious?” and pointed to the bumper stickers. Of course, she was.

It wasn’t long, after I had inquired what she was afraid of and whether she was aware of the First Amendment, that she asked me (a white lady) if I am a “member of the Klan.”

Yep, the mental disorder of liberalism is in advanced stages. Question or challenge their ignorance, and it follows you’re KKK.

Just a do a search of images by typing in ‘stop fox news.’

It’s mighty ironic, and perverse, that the left-wingers at MMFA are adopting Cold War rhetoric from the era of Truman, Eisenhower, and John Foster Dulles in deciding whether to have a strategy of containment or rollback with regard to Fox News: those were competing US strategies against the USSR and other communist powers.

On yesterday's TV show Glenn said that Media Matters has 86 People working just to track him and what he says every day. And then they post 'corrections' (rebuttals) to his 'lies' on the MM website.

86 people...??

Just to follow one guy...?

Man, that's a sh*tload of money...

Seems to me that they are skirting the anti-stalking laws with some of this stuff.

Wow! An important story. We really do have to reach out and interact with people who have been brainwashed.

My nephew told me that he worked with a young black man who was a normal successful employee and a basic conservative in his personal views on life, but who could not vote for a Republican president “because he would put us back into slavery.”

My nephew could not talk him out of that belief.

I know the NYTs thinks that’s the case...but Fox has a pretty good deal with Beck at five.

Beck has about 300-400 advertisers boycotting him.

Well, I think they can weather that, or else admit/show that they can be rolled and intimidated. What interests me is that I see Progressive Insurance commercials all over Fox.

I guess we'll see. I have suspected that Fox is playing up this story for...ratings.

I think Beck is anxious b/c he can’t get out of the five PM spot ......O’R and Hannity aren’t moving from primetime.....might have a better following if he had his own cable channel.

“Soros must be hurting from Becks outting of all his little minions working to destroy America.”

Yes, he is...
Horowitz has been trying to get this info out for a decade or more, and started DiscoverTheNetworks.Org that lists the incestuous money, people and financing links of the left in startling detail, but he doesn’t have the forum for it that Beck has, namely an audience that averages 2.5-3 million people, nightly.

Mark Levin spoke about the “criminal front group” Media Matters, March 28, 2011, on the Mark Levin Show:

“I have been using the phrase “criminal front group” to describe this group Media Matters now for many, many years. I have explained in great detail what a 501C3 non-profit, non-partisan charitable organization is under the Internal Revenue Code because I study these things, as does my legal group.

I have also used the phrase “tortuous business interference” for anybody who seeks, including them, to interfere with my program, and so these words [phrases] are getting around now apparently, and these arguments are getting around now, apparently.

When you talk about Media Matters, do as I do, and have done for years. Refer to it as the “criminal front group” Media Matters.

And the reason I call it a “criminal front group” is because it is taking contributions from individuals. Those individuals can deduct them from their own income taxes. Media Matters, being a non-profit charitable organization, does not pay any taxes on it, and yet it basically is a laundering operation that uses tax-exempt money, which people deduct their contributions on their own income taxes from, to amass a huge amount of money-—about $10 million a year-—in order to undertake what are clearly political operations.

And I have been calling on the Internal Revenue Service to audit and investigate the “criminal front group” Media Matters now for several years, and there is absolutely a rock-solid basis to do it.

And if they do it, and I believe one day they may well, they need to make sure they get hold of all emails, all hard drives, all hard paper document communications, and telephone logs because I believe what they will find is a shadowy coordination effort between this organization and, among these organizations this one is the hub, and Democrat operatives, Democrat public officials, and Democrat organizations.

Time has long past for the Internal Revenue Service to do its job.”

Mark Levin must read FR. :)

Anyway, good for him for speaking out and calling for the IRS to investigate. The IRS as a department uses about what, $6B a year? For what?
