Deliberate smear--Media Matters story on ATF gun smuggling
Conservative Examiner ^ | 28 July, 2011 | Anthony Martin

Posted on 07/30/2011 5:30:36 AM PDT by marktwain

As reported yesterday, the ultra-Leftwing, George Soros-funded 'Media Matters' confronted the reporter who first broke the ATF gun smuggling scandal as he sat outside the committee hearings on the subject in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday. Shoving a cell phone camera in his face, the Media Matters propagandist demanded to know why Mike Vanderboegh had 'lied' about the Tampa field office of the ATF smuggling guns into Honduras.

Media Matters posted their story yesterday, in which they accused Fox News of reporting Vanderboegh's assertions without doing an adequate fact-check.

It goes without saying that Media Matters, the pompous pimps of progressive propaganda, has but one goal in making such assertions--to create doubt on the part of readers concerning the veracity of the facts disclosed thus far concerning Project Gunwalker, or 'Operation Fast and Furious,' the ATF-DOJ-Obama Administration scheme to deliberately place U.S. guns into the hands of dangerous criminals in Mexico and Honduras for the purpose of bolstering statistics that would then erroneously show that the vast majority of weapons used by drug cartels came from the U.S.

Such phony statistics would then be used to push for massive new gun control measures throughout the U.S.

However, the facts that have been disclosed by whistleblowers, informants, and investigative reporters have all turned out to be true. Not one single assertion made by Mike Vanderboegh, David Codrea, or this writer, has been proved to be false.

Let's go further than that and suggest ~ and I say just "suggest" ~ that Media Matters is actually involved in the Gunrunning stuff themselves ~ that "they know" and have more factoids at hand than anyone else but they're not telling.

About a year ago or so I signed up at Media Matters to get their newsletter and so I could 'comment' :-)

Well, I never made one comment because they are FREAKING NUTZ! Every 'article' is like it's from Alice In Wonderland and they're all high on LSD.

So now it does directly to 'Junk' and I don't give them one web hit. I don't want to unsubscribe as I want to keep their costs up ;-)

“pompous pimps of progressive propaganda”

Now, that’s a guy who knows how to turn a phrase!

This one could apply to any number of media types.

It reminds one of the alliteration of Spiro Agnew’s “nattering nabobs of negativity”.

Keep up the good work. This is what the internet was meant to - expose the liars that controlled our media.

Now everyone has a back stage pass.

Find the truth and shout it out.

It is kind of difficult to read such things, thinking sane people with such backward views. It can be funny as hell to actually see them say it, half of them probably do have some kind of mental disorder or right out in to outer space.

I hope Mike Vanderboegh ignored them. That hurts more than having an argument, which is what they crave.
