Media Matters' war against Fox
March 26, 2011
The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel.
The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television networks and is narrowing its focus to Fox and a handful of conservative websites, which its leaders view as political organizations and the “nerve center” of the conservative movement. The shift reflects the centrality of the cable channel to the contemporary conservative movement, as well as the loathing it inspires among liberals — not least among the donors who fund Media Matters’ staff of about 90, who are arrayed in neat rows in a giant war room above Massachusetts Avenue.
“The strategy that we had had toward Fox was basically a strategy of containment,” said Brock, Media Matters’ chairman and founder and a former conservative journalist, adding that the group’s main aim had been to challenge the factual claims of the channel and to attempt to prevent them from reaching the mainstream media.
The new strategy, he said, is a “war on Fox.”

But conservatives remain clueless bookmark.
“If you don’t tow the party line, we’ll crush you.”
They can’t win the battle of ideas, so they must stifle dissent.
Brock is really on a roll now that sexual deviants are at the top of the most admired people in America list.
Will FOX even notice?
Elite liberals are getting more desperate. Getting very close to popcorn time...
Maybe this is why Bill O’Blowhard is pandering to Obama so much these days.
Brock knows where the loufahs are buried.
RICO.
Soros needs to destroy the truth if he still plans to steal all the money in the world before he croaks.
What if a few of these decent tolerant inclusive liberal beardo-weirdos were to wind up in the emergency room after they tried their guerilla warfare on Fox. Just sayin’.
If we did that to them they would have a collective orgasm. These folks live to be victims - it's the whole liberal masochistic mentality ... very twisted. You would make them soooooooo happy. Would you really want to be part of something that sicko?
Best thing we can do is keep exposing them for the biased liars they are - that's what gets under their skin - that's why they hate FOX.
They’re hiring Lawyers because they will need them.
I can’t wait for the 1st Fox person they screw to file a Lawsuit.
Be sure to include Soros.
Brock needs to get a life.
Once a Nazi always a Nazi.
The Democrats screwed themselves with America and now all they can do is watch the next election deliver an even stronger message than the last one.
hey Brock, here’s how to defeat Fox. Send out reporters to investigate, gather truth, and then report the facts without personal bias or political favoritism. Until then, you’ll not defeat them and you’ll continue to look like a jealous fool.
What a great bumper sticker that would make.
Where is this supposed ‘hideout’ of ‘Media T@#tters’? Anyone know?
Right. Fox seems to be doing a lot to themselves with the coverage gap.
