Time for an undercover sting targeting Media Matters.
Could you (or anyone reading this) refresh my memory about Major Garrett? I remember being disappointed when he left, but where did he go and were there some circumstances around his departure that I don’t know about?
The trouble with all these ersatz "philanthropies" is the lack of laws demanding full disclosure of donor's names. That should be an easy law to change.
For instance, Planned Parenthood does not have to list their donors, but they can donate money to 528's. And if you have a 501c3 that donates to PP, you have to list that donation on YOUR tax forms. You can trace donations to PP that way, but it is arduous.
A lot of these charities spend a lot of time and money just donating to each other to frustrate both the IRS and public knowledge.
Liz, what do you think or know about the Major Garrett references in this thread?
They had better not be a tax-exempt organization. Of course, if they are, they have nothing to worry about until President Palin is sworn in.
N/P's also put phantom employees on the payroll and book phony line items like "maintenance, PR, building, legal fees, administration" to siphon off tax-free monies for themselves.
What's next for the fascistic MM---book burning? (/snix)
Major Garrett is now a Congressional correspondent with the National Journal.
Isn’t that kind of a come-down from being such a popular correspondent on Fox? It’s like he disappeared. Most news guys have more ego than that.
Probably his best offer.
Here's his latest--talking up intervention in Libya on MSNBC.
You know, having watched his reportage for so many years, and seeing this sudden change...wouldn't be surprised if Podesta and his bunch might have something really bad on Garrett.
Beck is also being forced out-—supposedly starting his own cable channel.
If you go to the link I added, he tells it.
Forewarned is forearmed.
I would be surprised if Murdock doesn’t already have dossiers on that faggot Brock and his hot tub buddies.
MM own website says that any donation “is fully tax deductible”. I think I’ll research it a bit more.

Great post, btw.
DemocracyInAction also lists itself as a 501(c)3 - they are the company that handles the technology and “donations” to Media Matters. Actually, they refer to themselves as “a progressive 501(c)3.”
He is tight with the Clintons. He wanted Mo out and Hillary and the rest of the malevolent scum in the WH went along.
20 months is a long time when we are struggling to save our Country.
God Help Us.
Millions of people will watch it. The ad revenue will be fantastic. The American people see what's going on with our country and Obama's (and D.C. in general) current and future Marxist/New World Order plans. We also see that most of the politicians aren't like the rest of us. America isn't courtrooms, ivory academic towers or chronic bureaucratic inertia in Washington D.C.
People are thirsty for "the real news" and want to be more educated. Since the sleeping giant is now fully awake, we want more. We want to be an 'informed electorate without spin', to hear real conservative news, (we don't need fair and balanced, we've already decided we Want Conservative!) The elections in November were a start and we're on a roll!
The Conservative Cable Network will be factual, double sourced and triple checked. Potential topics: tons of American History ideas, in depth Constitution review, original documents, 'decade studies', 'citizen debates', specials on Reagan and other famous conservatives, 1776 series, core conservative values shows, the hardships of the early settlers, Judeo-Christian origins, Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers, the Frontier and struggles therein, early state governments, conservative book reviews and ongoing live 'book club' discussions, segments on conservative activism, voter education, Tea Party segments, 2nd Amendment issues, the Fed, government corruption, flat or fair tax alternatives, current conservative news and electoral candidates.
All the top Conservatives will have a daily hour show or a weekly hour show. I can think of a bunch of people right off the bat. Seems to me you could do a 24/7 conservative meme with not enough time in a week.
Get ready. . . we're up for the fight!
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.
So George 'Spooky Dude' Soros better keep his checkbook out as Media Matters is gonna need a boatload of money on a regular basis if they intend to go after everyone at FNC.
an aside: Just for kicks, about a year ago I registered at the MM website to get their email 'news' updates (not with my main email account). Well, their 'news updates' got so bad it turned into Spam. I was getting about 5 emails a day and every one was on Glenn Beck and 'His Lies'. So now i go to that secondary email account every other week just to clear my Spam Folder.
I missed Garrett on “Morning Joe.” About a week ago he was on a panel which was aired on C-SPAN. His wife, Julie Kirtz, continued on Fox after he left but I haven’t seen her lately so I don’t know if she is still working for them. Julie’s father is a retired Marine officer (WWII veteran) but I don’t know if that has any influence on Major Garrett’s outlook.
When did Fox replace Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the GOP?
Seriously, who believes this crap? In what world would Fox news network be considered the leader of anything?
Maybe a "mouthpiece", but by claiming it's the "leader", Media Matters reveals the truth of it's work.
Of course, doing an expose of media matters would be useless, because nobody cares what you learn about them. Just as most of those who listen to MM don't really care about the truth, just about whether they can acheive their goals.
