Reports: Media Matters head coordinates with White House, builds super PAC

Excerpt:

The head of Media Matters for America -- now out coordinating a new super PAC to help President Obama get reelected -- is operating his nonprofit organization in close coordination with the Obama White House, a new investigative report out Monday says.

David Brock, according to the Daily Caller, has collected a $250,000 annual salary for his work at MMFA, which includes daily screeds against Fox News Channel and other media outlets that allow conservative perspectives in their reporting.

February 14, 2012: Inside Media Matters: Sources, memos reveal erratic behavior, close coordination with White House and news organizations

Excerpt:

“He had more security than a Third World dictator,” one employee said, explaining that Brock’s bodyguards would rarely leave his side, even accompanying him to his home in an affluent Washington neighborhood each night where they “stood post” to protect him. “What movement leader has a detail?” asked someone who saw it.

Extensive interviews with a number of Brock’s current and former colleagues at Media Matters, as well as with leaders from across the spectrum of Democratic politics, reveal an organization roiled by its leader’s volatile and erratic behavior and struggles with mental illness, and an office where Brock’s executive assistant carried a handgun to public events in order to defend his boss from unseen threats. ((including the fear of "right wing assassins"))

Their first coup was the firing of Imus from MSNBC after
his Rutgers remarks. I bet they thought they finished him .. LOL.

If only President Obama knew what these people were doing in his name.

Those poor buttons on Olbermann’s coat. Who makes them? They obviously do their jobs extremely well.

SARAH PALIN: Professor Dershowitz Is Right About Media Matters

Harvard University Professor Alan Dershowitz is one of the most knowledgeable and unapologetic defenders of Israel among American academics. This has unfortunately opened him to unfair and intellectually dishonest attacks from his fellow liberals.

In answering a recent attack by Max Blumenthal, formerly of Media Matters for America (MMfA), Prof. Dershowitz said, “Let me tell you, Max Blumenthal and Media Matters will be singlehandedly responsible for (Obama) losing this election. They (the Democrats) cannot win the election and keep this affiliation with them.”

I agree with Prof. Dershowitz, though obviously I think there are many, many more reasons why President Obama should lose this election (trillions, if you consider his latest budget proposal).

Prof. Dershowitz is right to draw attention to MMfA in particular.  As Big Journalism points out: “Media Matters has been condemned by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for their continued use of an antisemitic slur; their own allies have even thrown them under the bus for antisemitism.”

This just shows that Americans of all political stripes are awakened to the dangers of unethical journalists and media organizations that deceive their audiences and use bullying tactics to unfairly target political opponents.

BS.

If Obama dropped a nuke on Jerusalem, Dershowitz would STILL vote for him.

It’s all for show.

Dear Alan,

You won’t vote for obama, who never met a Jew he didn’t hate, ONLY if he is associated with media matters? For a smart man, Alan, you sure are stupid.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Yeah, it didn’t bother the putz that Obama associated himself with domestic terrorists, black nationalists and communists. LOL!

[goodnesswins]

What a dolt HE (Alan) is....

[Dogbert41]

That’s like saying you won’t vote for Hitler if doesn’t get rid of the Brown Shirts.

[rod1]

Wait, Sid the Squid is at MMA?? So that’s what happened to him. Did he ever do any jail time fo his NH drunken romp?

[Keith in Iowa]

There are many other issues that Dershowhitless could have used to distance himself from Dear Leader... but it takes Media Matters to tip the scale for him... smh.

[Politics4US]

I don’t trust Dershowitz. He wanted Bob Grant fired in 1996.

Stop it Al, you know you are constitutional incapable of failing to vote Democrat, especially a Black Democrat - nice try - you got a new book coming out or something?
