Media Matters Launches Fight FOX Campaign
AmericanThinker ^ | September 18, 2009 | Kyle-Anne Shiver

Well, well, well look here what just popped up in my email. It's a memo from Media Matters President, Eric Burns. Yes, of course, I subscribe to Media Matters. One must always keep one's enemies close.

Our boy Eric has decided that the one lone TV voice crying in the wilderness in often dissenting fashion to our Dear Leader is one lone voice too many and has decided to launch a "Fight Fox" campaign.

"Dear Friend," Eric's letter begins, "Since President Obama's inauguration, Fox News has officially abandoned its already dubious standing as a news organization and is now engaging in outright political activism, completing its transition into the 24/7 media wing of the far-right conservative movement."

Eric was on Fox Watch.
His contract expired and was not renewed. He was ticked that he wasn’t told why.

I can’t wait until this rumble starts.

Should read George Soros Media Matters if they want to be correct. Then the Democrats/Trolls can say George Soros doesn’t directly fund Media Matters. After that, hit them with this post:

“Media Matters is funded by the Democracy Alliance which is funded by George Soros and his brother. You can check MediaSource for this information. If you have a problem with the truth, please disregard this posting.”

Soros has a whole group of alliances he funds through the Democracy Alliance.

Well, in which case he shouldn’t have been hired in the first place- but then again, it looks like he never showed his true colors until now.

Didn’t Burns used to be on a show on Fox with Cal Thomas and other journalists?

"...completing its transition into the 24/7 media wing of the far-right conservative movement."

Yeah, right. Apparently, MM has never heard of O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Geraldo Rivera, or Juan Williams - all 4 leftists.

So much for the concept of free speech. This only goes to prove time and again the hypocrisy of liberals. They cry tolerance, but they are the most intolerant ilk of people that have ever lived. No one is allowed to express any opinion that is contrary to their liberal ideology. The term, liberal, no longer denote liberty, but it now denotes oppression.

The ol' "We've launch a fight but we need your money." excuse. Sounds like the PTA.

That’s the network that has BOR, Shep and Rivera.

So I guess they are trying to be “Fair and Balanced”. LOL!

Now I remember: the media navel-gazing program, usually with one or two obnoxious "journalists."

Fox is above all a business enterprise, so I'm guessing Eric does know why his contract wasn't renewed. Dollars and cents.

Eric Burns obviosuly has no problems in the liberal media outlets of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc, have “officially abandoned its already dubious standing as a news organization and is now engaging in outright political activism”?

Definate moronic idiot you be Burns.

As Glenn would likely say, Fringe Media doesn’t really Matter

He should have watched his own show and discovered that he was neither pretty nor interesting. That might have given him a clue.
