Media Matters has issued a list of "don'ts" for tonight's CNN debate:
Don't contradict your own reporting and suggest that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "cash[ed] in" on a stock deal in which he lost $13,000.

“Blitzer has a husband?????”
That threw me for a loop, too. In looking at the opening pages and going to the link in the original Media Matters email alert, I discovered it was a reference to Campbell Brown.

Example:
Chris Matthews....
When Matthews first arrived in Washington he was given a patronage job as an armed officer with the United States Capitol Police
Matthews has worked for four Democratic politicians. He was a presidential speechwriter for four years during the Carter administration. He served as a top aide to long-time Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill for six years.
He worked in the U.S. Senate for five years on the staffs of Senators Frank Moss and Edmund Muskie before himself campaigning for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and losing his party’s nomination to Pennsylvania Congressman Joshua Eilberg in the Democratic primary in 1974.

“don’t adopt GOP framing”
this is straight out of their George Lakoff (rhymes with) bible.
GL tells his secular socialist minions to never argue within your opponent’s “frame” (reality), but always “reframe” the issue in a favorable manner before proceding.
Maybe Media Matters should just write the questions themselves and fax them to Wolf. It would be simpler.
A husband who’s a Republican, to boot.
Thank you...I was hoping someone would post that for me.
they are erecting straw-men and pretending the media is not liberal.
As for Ms. Campbell Brown, MM is well aware that here liberal bonafides are well intact; she threw a party for Joe and valerie wilson Plame at her Manhattan apartment.
I surely agree that his reputation with us FR types is pretty poor. Perhaps a better way of putting it is: In the “locker room” setting, even around other libs, Blitzer doesn’t want to have a reputation of being pushed around by Media Matters. Had MM just kept its trap shut, I’ll betcha Blitzer would have asked nicey nice questions of Hillary, but now I tend to think he’ll have to make some show of testicularity.

I like it!
Gee, I wonder what this paragraph would have said had Royal won.
IIRC, there were all sorts of favourable comparisons being made by leftist commentators, when they thought that Royal would win.
They are truly caricatures of themselves. They are pretending to be outraged the Campbell Brown is marries to Dan Senor and want her to disclose that.
I bet they never demanded that George Stephanopoulus disclose that he worked for Clinton, or that Tim Russert worked for Cuomo, or that Jeff Greenfield was a Dem operative, or that Christine amanpour is married to Clinton lackey Jamie Rubin, and so on and so on and so on...
Brownshirts...
These “requests” sound like a sullen teenager telling the nanny what to do - the threat is veiled.
And let's hope so.....
Not holding breath though........
You don’t have to be a non-profit to not pay taxes.
Any corporation can pay out everything it takes in, leaving no profits and therefor no income taxes.
You’re right...it was forbidden when her slimeness occupied the White House.
