Hannity's Keyboard Gets Stuck on 'Caps Lock' As He Fires off Blistering Tirade Against Media Matters

[ForYourChildren]

It's been a rough-and-tumble week for Fox News host Sean Hannity. In other words, exactly the way the combative host loves it.

The whole thing started after Hannity appeared to defend Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore during an interview with the embattled Republican nominee over charges he sexually abused underage girls nearly 40 years ago.

In the aftermath of the interview, at least five sponsors pulled ads from “Hannity,” including popular coffee maker manufacturer, Keurig.

As a result, thousands of people joined a Keurig protest, including owners who vowed to smash their coffee makers. Keurig's CEO quickly walked back the boycott threat.

“Online Slime Machine Media Matters Co-Founded by Hillary Clinton”

I want to talk about an online slime machine known as Media Matters for America. It is a tax-exempt organization which states its purpose as countering conservatives in the media.

I have said before that Media Matters was started with help from Hillary Clinton and took George Soros’ money. Media Matters has written to me and all my bosses saying my charge is a lie, that it is an independent organization which plays no political favorites and has never received slime machine cash from Soros-funded Democracy Alliance.

Here are the facts: Media Matters was started in offices provided by the Center for American Progress, a Soros-funded operation. It has since received Soros money. Facts, not lies.

I am 100% with Sean for going up against media matters.

"LEAKED: Media Matters’ Secret Plan to Destroy Conservatives"

https://stream.org/media-matters-after-conservatives/

Now we know: Earlier this year, the left-wing activist group Media Matters began an all-out effort to destroy conservatives. The founder laid out the details in the 49-page “Democracy Matters: Plan for Strategic Action.” He didn’t expect it to be leaked to the public.

In a document labeled “Private & Confidential,” Media Matters founder David Brock explains how the group intends to take down some of the most well-known leaders on the right and squelch conservative speech and policies. Left-wing billionaire George Soros is one of the financial backers.

Beyond Traditional Free Speech

The group will work with several partners. American Bridge 21st Century will provide research. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, is an ethics watchdog group similar to Judicial Watch. Shareblue is a social media firm. The plan describes Shareblue as “the antidote to Breitbart.”

Conservative campaigns will be “squashed,” “punished and halted.”

Media Matters intends to discredit right wingers in every area, from social media to the highest levels of government. They will identify and target a list of the “individuals and outlets” who are the most effective, which they refer to as “destructive.” The document promises: “Key right-wing targets will see their influence diminish.”

Media Matters and its partners will pressure Google and Facebook into banning right-leaning sites, which they refer to as “fake news sites and propagandists.” Conservative social media activism campaigns will be “punished and halted.” The group will develop new technologies to spot the early stages of articles they call “fake news,” which seems to mean articles they disagree with, and “quash” them.

“Media Matters Founder: We Defend Hillary Clinton!”

http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/22/media-matters-founder-we-defend-hillary-clinton/

Media Matters For America founder David Brock admitted Monday that his nonprofit, tax-exempt organization specifically defends Hillary Clinton, a political candidate for office, from Republican criticism.

Brock’s stunning admission calls into question the nonprofit status of his left-wing media monitoring organization.

Brock made the admission in an op-ed defending his group’s association with Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary Clinton’s political adviser and informal Libya consultant.

Blumenthal fed Clinton information from Media Matters while advising the former secretary of state in the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack. Blumenthal was serving as a paid Media Matters consultant at the time.

Blumenthal testified in a closed-door session last week with Rep. Trey Gowdy’s House Select Committee on Benghazi.

[I want the USA back]

This will be a cue for democrats to offer millions of dollars to whores to claim that Hannity sexually assaulted them.

[ForYourChildren]

It has also now come to light that not only did Hillary Clinton help start Media Matters with former conservative David Brock in charge, she bragged about it to a convention of the far left. At the Daily Kos convention — a gathering of the far, far left — Hillary Clinton said the following:

“We are certainly better prepared and more focused on, you know, taking our arguments, and making them effective, and disseminating them widely... in a lot of the new progressive infrastructure, institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress.”

Hannity threw Judge Moore under the bus night after night.

He can take his tick-tock and shove it.

And learn to defend himself.

Media Matters' Ties to George Soros, and the “War on Fox”

From its inception, Media Matters was careful to obscure the financial ties it had to the controversial billionaire financier/philanthropist George Soros. But in March 2003, the Cybercast News Service (CNS) detailed the copious links between Media Matters and several Soros “affiliates”—among them the Center for American Progress, MoveOn.org, and Peter Lewis.

Confronted with this story, a spokesman for Media Matters explained that his organization “has never received funding directly from George Soros” (emphasis added), a transparent evasion. Nor were the groups cited by CNS the only connection between Media Matters and Soros. As investigative journalist Byron York noted, another Soros affiliate that bankrolled Media Matters was the New Democratic Network.

In addition, Soros was a central figure in the Democracy Alliance, which news reports identified as yet another major benefactor of Media Matters.

To summarize, Soros and his Open Society Institute poured millions of dollars into the coffers of groups like the Center for American Progress, the Democracy Alliance, MoveOn, and the New Democratic Network. In turn, these organizations funneled some of that money to Media Matters.

In October 2010 Soros decided to stop concealing his ties to Media Matters, when he openly announced that he was donating $1 million to the organization—money that would be used to hold “Fox [News] host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.” Said Soros:

“Despite repeated assertions to the contrary by various Fox News commentators, I have not to date been a funder of Media Matters. However, in view of recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence,[1] I have now decided to support the organization. Media Matters is one of the few groups that attempts to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.”

David Brock, for his part, confirmed that Beck would now be Media Matters' chief target:

“From the moment in early 2009 that Roger Ailes enlisted Glenn Beck to the Fox News Channel’s new agenda—a battle to overturn the 2008 election results that Ailes likened to the 'The Alamo'—Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 GOP attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends.

Worse still, in recent months, Fox has allowed Glenn Beck’s show to become an out-of-control vehicle for the potential incitement of domestic terrorism. No American should be quiet about these developments—the degradation of our media and the reckless endangerment of innocent lives.”

In March 2011, Politico.com reported that Media Matters had “all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks,” preparing instead to wage “what its founder, David Brock, described ... as an all-out campaign of 'guerrilla warfare and sabotage' aimed at the Fox News Channel [FNC] ... and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as political organizations and the 'nerve center' of the conservative movement.”

Brock explained that whereas previously “[t]he strategy that we had had toward Fox was basically a strategy of containment”—i.e., challenging FNC's factual claims and trying to keep them out of the mainstream media—the new strategy would be an unrestrained “war on Fox.”

In that “war” effort, said Politico, Media Matters: (a) was “assembling opposition research files not only on Fox’s top executives but on a series of midlevel officials”; (b) had “hired an activist who has led a successful campaign to press advertisers to avoid Glenn Beck’s show”; (c) was “assembling a legal team to help people who have clashed with Fox to file lawsuits for defamation, invasion of privacy or other causes”; (d) had “hired two experienced reporters ... to dig into Fox’s operation to help assemble a book on the network”; (e) was planning, in collaboration with an executive from MoveOn.org, “to run a broad campaign against Fox’s parent company, News Corp.”; and (f) planned to “disrupt [the] commercial interests” of News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch.

According to the Daily Caller, Brock’s animus against Fox was so extreme that Media Matters considered harassing individual Fox News employees at their homes, hiring private investigators to look into their private lives, and hiring a law firm to pursue lawsuits against the network. In February 2012, Brock and co-author Ari Rabin-Havt released a book titled The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine.

In 2014 Media Matters came to the defense of MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, a key architect of Obamacare, when newly uncovered videos showed Gruber boasting that he and congressional Democrats had knowingly and repeatedly lied about key aspects of the health-care legislation so as to deceive American voters who were “too stupid” to realize what was happening. When Fox News explored the scandal in depth, headlines and stories on the Media Matters website derided Fox for “dishonestly” conducting a “fraudulent media campaign” to promote a “manufactured … scandal.”

When IRS officials in 2014 claimed to have no knowledge of the whereabouts of key emails containing evidence that the agency had unjustifiably delayed or denied the processing of applications for tax-exempt status by hundreds of conservative organizations during 2010-12, a Media Matters report charged that “Fox News personalities baselessly accused the Obama administration of engaging in a cover-up following reports that the IRS lost emails connected to the alleged targeting of organizations seeking tax-exempt status, ignoring the fact that government agencies regularly lose emails due to antiquated computer systems and policies.”

Media Matters is one of the most dishonest sites on the Internet, and the left treats it as if it’s Gospel — even after you debunk it.

[Conservative Gato]

David Brock is an enemy of freedom and of our country. He needs to be included in those who we be hanged (after a fair trial, of course) just as Hiliary purported to have claimed during the election as they would all be hanging from nooses if Donald Trump would be elected. They all know they have been traitors to this country.
