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."

I cannot for the life of me understand why FoxNews hired this guy in the first place with this kind of a resume.
“Communists and authoritarian dictators LOVE the words democracy and democratic... Look at the way Chavez uses those words, and let’s not forget the DDR - Deutsche Demokratische Republik - AKA East Germany.”
Absolutely true! They loooove to parade around their ‘open’ elections. ‘Our people voted for slavery and oppression!’ Even some on Fox say we’re a democracy. At least Krauthamer says, ‘constitutional democracy’ *sigh* Why can’t they say we’re a constitutional republic with a democratic electoral process?
” - “elements” = people with the connotation of criminal or unpatriotic
- “reactionaries” = patriots/conservatives
- “Some” (a favorite 0b0z0 word) = many or half the population
- “My guiding principles” (a staple communist term that was in a HC 0b0z0 speech) = my Marxist agenda
- “counter-productive” = anti-communist, period.
- “counter-revolutionary” = anti-regime, period.
- “working people” = captives to throw under the bus (ACORN, etc.)
- Crazies (Soviets institutionalized perfectly sane dissidents!) = Don’t listen to them, or just let them blab, they’ve got nothing, but watch out, they ARE violent.”
You forgot:
“Distraction”= Holy smokes, Batman, if the populace pays attention to this, we’re sunk!
I happened on the site looking for something else and could not believe my eyes when I saw those charts. You are not kidding about Medusa’s head as the lines go everywhere.
Looks like Soros is running the US Government with ZERO as his puppet.
You’re right. My head is pounding by the constant bombardment of the ever changing English language since Klintoon followed by Alinsky’s 0b0z0!
You said: you forgot
No I didn’t. It depends on the definition of “forgot” that I forgot! LOL
The guy with that resume was NEVER hired by FOX and never appeared on FOX
I always thought that was the case. This looks as if we are right.
Read an article before the primary really got started that ZERO was the ONLY candidate that Soros personally met with in 2004 and had a really bad feeling after that. Soros was so intent on beating Bush with Kerry that it made me wonder if he was the one funding ACORN voter fraud.
I am convinced we are right about Soros behind this whole mess. I told my brother the other day that the CIA should deliver him to France where he would be arrested. Soros and his son are really bad news.
Thanks for the ping rockabyebaby.
I heard about this tonight in an e-mail. Never heard of MM before tonight. Must be another irrelevant-Fringe! LOL

Peter Rosenstein, Congressman Barney Frank, and David Brock at Bo Billups and David Brock’s Birthday Party.

June 14, 2004, issue of National Review
Susie Tompkins Buell was very, very impressed with David Brock. A California businesswoman who co-founded the fashion giant Esprit and went on to become a major donor to Democratic causes, Buell was in Washington last fall attending a meeting of friends and supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton when she met Brock, the self-described former “right-wing hit man.” Buell listened as Brock, now a defector to “progressive” causes, presented plans for Media Matters for America, his new Internet-based project to monitor and criticize conservative media.
Media Matters published attacks on the usual targets — Fox News, for example — Brock seems to be devoting particular energy to what he calls an “aggressive ad campaign” against radio host Rush Limbaugh
Media Matters as part of the constellation of groups — the so-called “527” organizations, the voter-turnout group America Coming Together, John Podesta’s liberal think tank the Center for American Progress, MoveOn.org, liberal talk radio, and others
Leo Hindery Jr., a cable-television executive (InterMedia Partners) who contributes to Democratic causes, says he sees Media Matters as part of a coordinated action on the left.
Brock's donors read like a Who's Who of those who have financed the new, activist Left. Besides Buell and Hindery, donors to Media Matters include Peter Lewis, chairman of Progressive Corp., who has contributed more than $7 million to the 527s in partnership with his friend, the financier George Soros. There is Democratic activist Bren Simon, wife of shopping-mall tycoon Mel Simon, New York psychologist and donor Gail Furman, California philanthropist James Hormel, and others. Two anti-Bush organizations, the New Democratic Network and MoveOn.org, have also contributed to Brock's project.
One Brock aide did opposition research for the recent presidential campaign of Sen. John Edwards; another did the same thing for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; yet another worked on the Wesley Clark presidential campaign; another worked for Massachusetts Democratic representative Barney Frank, and so on.
Brock turned to the Tides Foundation, a wealthy but little-known institution that funds a variety of left-wing causes. http://tinyurl.com/nmd3sm
I would be skeptical of ANYTHING coming from Media Matters

Media Matters: Police Report Filed From ACORN Office
Apparently Media Matters, a George Soros arm, have a police report filed by a ACORN employee in Pennsylvania after the pimp and the prostitute visited their office in July of this year.
The employee apparently turned them in to the police. One thing wrong with this picture is the pimp, was named as James O’Keefe. Didn’t James and Hannah go into the ACORN offices with fake names?

Media Matters: Fox News’ incomplete, misleading ACORN coverage is just nuts...
September 18, 2009 11:13 pm ET
the story at this point really has a lot more to do with Fox News and conservative media activism than with ACORN.
On MSNBC, Chris Matthews was content to report that the right had simply “claimed another victim,”
Fox News is already teasing its next round of ACORN attacks. If credible journalists don’t stand up for their craft, then Fox News will keep enjoying its position in the driver’s seat.

Fox News Caught in a Smear: Media Matters Calls for Accountability Following Shameful Omission During ACORN Reports ...
Today, Media Matters for America highlighted the fact that Fox News repeatedly broadcast and promoted a shocking but entirely fictitious claim made by San Bernardino ACORN employee Tresa Kaelke that she murdered her former husband.
Media Matters also released a video of its own, titled, “Caught in a Smear,” which can be viewed here.
“This is journalistic malpractice, plain and simple,” said * Eric Burns, president of Media Matters.

Eric Burns. Media Matters for America. August 26, 2009.
“Ted Kennedy was a true American statesman. The values that he so eloquently and tirelessly championed represent the best of our American ideals. He reached across the aisle to get hard work done but never sacrificed principle. Though he is gone, the dream will forever live on. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Vicki Kennedy, the Senator’s family, his loyal staff and the millions of lives he touched throughout his historic life and career.”
a bump for Kyle-Anne Shivers. Love that lady! She’s got GRIT.
...and Bob Beckel, and Mara Liason, and Pat Caddell (who’s an honest liberal)... Alam Colmes still shows up from time to time. And Greta.
How many regular conservative contributors does MSNBC have? CNN?
And Mort Kondracke.
Here in Beverly, Mass., not only I am seeing “War” sprayed under the “Stop” on stop signs but I just saw one that had “Fox” under the “Stop”. That’s right, we gotta stop Fox News because they’re eeeeeeeeeeeeevil. ...I assume that’s who they mean, or are they opposed to the reg. broadcast network that runs Family Guy, The Simpsons, and the World Series...? Must...stop...Homer...
