Is Obama Programing Media Matters Or Is It The Other Way Around?
Big Journalism ^ | 2/13/2012 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 02/18/2012 9:07:12 PM PST by tobyhill

There has been a lot of chatter about the blockbuster report at the Daily Caller revealing the extent to which the self-proclaimed “media watchdog” outfit Media Matters for America is joined at the hip with the White House. Many are shocked at just how much Obama is seemingly programming the media with the supposedly independent Media Matters acting as its pipeline to the Old Media.

Shockingly, Daily Caller notes that MMFA is even holding teleconference briefings with members of Obama’s administration and the subsequent salting of the results of those meetings among the Old Media’s coverage seems to be a weekly occurrence. If true this is in contravention to MMFA’s tax-exempt status, too.

The report points out that at least up until last fall, an Obama administration official participated in weekly strategy sessions to plan out what the Old Media should know about the Obama agenda. Daily Caller notes that Obama’s recently resigned com director Jen Psaki was “a frequent participant” on those strategy calls.

Media Matters also began a weekly strategy call with the White House, which continues, joined by the liberal Center for American Progress think tank. Jen Psaki, Obama’s deputy communications director, was a frequent participant before she left for the private sector in October 2011.

Every Tuesday evening, meanwhile, a representative from Media Matters attends the Common Purpose Project meeting at the Capitol Hilton on 16th Street in Washington, where dozens of progressive organizations formulate strategy, often with a representative from the Obama White House.

Soros and the Czars——zero is a puppet and is too intellectually lazy to know what to do.....he is being directed.

He golfs and parties and visits bath houses in Chicago while others are studying how to destroy America from within-—and then these godless people have zero put their ideas into action. billy ayers and those guys have been making plans for decades and zero was just hanging around with his Pakistani boyfriends and those dead guys in Rev. Wrights Marxist Temple of Baal.

Exactly.

It is the vast left wing conspiracy. For real.

Bath house Barry is a stooge for the hard left.

Anyone who reads or listens to Media Matters controlled media isn’t as smart as a 3rd grader, much less a 5th grader.

CNN, CBS, ABC, New York Times, Times, News Week, NBC, NPR have all become a bad, pathetic joke. And, Fox News isn’t too far behind.

Our nation’s real journalist of legend would vomit on these punks who call themselves journalist today. If possible, they would be turning in their graves.

I have been convinced since I first heard Barky speak that he is a moron. I suspect he was advanced solely through the AA policies in place at the institutions he attended. That is why his transcripts are locked up and why he never published anything while he was president of the Harvard law review. The left tries to portray him as some sort of genius but I think that he is likely an idiot who has never shown any spark of anything resembling brilliance. I think he probably just does what his handlers tell him to do.

The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

I wish Fox didn't get rid of Judge Andrew Napolitano's show.

Zero could have been a brilliant person if he wasn’t abused as a boy by Marxist parents—and that pornographer mentor—Frank Marshall Davis.

He was fed lies—Marxism and islam—as a boy forming his worldview and he was probably sodomized in the Madrassas—which is so common in Afghanistan with the men and pretty boys and mosques. Sodomy of children is not condemned—much like Ancient Greek and pagan/Satanic cultures.

He is likely a sociopath caused by desertion of men in his life and why he is a homosexual (Sinclair and the convenient dead gay men in Rev. Wrights church)—for he has no moral compass. He had godless parents. He wasted his mind and time doing drugs—and filling his head with intellectual deceit and lies.

He is basically a lazy person who cheats and lies to win and destroy people—he has no drive—just wants things handed to him-—probably learned it as a boy, filled with the hate and Big Lies of Marxist ideology. That irrationality and laziness comes from no moral character. It is work to acquire real knowledge and wisdom.

Narcissists are extremely lazy and rely on looks to get everything so they never have to exercise the mind. They have empty souls—godless ones—and have to fill that void with doing things which make him “feel” big and powerful—because he knows he is worthless. People who lust for power over others are godless and empty inside.

Most assuredly. There were too many gay boys as roommates in college—Muslim religion has high abuse of boys because they despise women and their bodies—they think women are filthy— his marriage to his wife is one of convenience. He hates women—it is obvious by the people he hangs with and how he treats women. He is very muslim in his worldview on women, being shaped by muslims in his formative years.

Google gay dead men in Rev. Wrights church-—and Larry Sinclair and his interviews. I believe Larry!!!! and Rev. Manning. And the sick minds of Frank Marshall Davis who wrote pornography. Marxism, Satanism, homosexuality, islam— excrement are all big parts of their ideology with the hatred of women and the abuse of children.

“The left tries to portray him as some sort of genius but I think that he is likely an idiot who has never shown any spark of anything resembling brilliance.”

That is why he can’t speak without the teleprompter; he’s an idiot, who seems to speak Arabic more fluidly than English. He is not a smart person, but an AA tool used by the enemies of this country.

Media Matters is Hillary’s operation. She bragged about helping to start it.

The political left has for decades advocated the murder of millions of Americans. Bill Ayers and his desire to put a bullet in the head of thirty five million conservatives. But when a conservative mentions the revolution the left so desperately wants and the demise of those advocates of a dead political philosophy, communism, that would result, his post is instantly yanked.
