The point is they are in violation. They are soliciting money for a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Yes, it may be minor on the technicality scale.

If this were a church, Salvation Army, etc... the media would be all over it - DEMANDING that those funds received (while in violation) be returned to the donors.

It’s about the hypocrisy.

Just because they are a bunch of hypocrites doesn't mean we have to be.

This is a good idea, I've looked through the database and I found a few dozen Church related charities that seem to have the same limitations as Media Matters.

For example CATHOLIC ANSWERS ACTION, a pro-life, anti-stem cell group, OPEN GATE MINISTRIES, INC. and ABUNDANT LIFE HARVEST FELLOWSHIP seem to have the same problems as media matters with Maryland. But a quick Google search hasn't brought up any problems with these guys from the State.

One more thing, I do appreciate what you are doing. We have to make sure they are playing by the rules, but what you found just isn’t a big deal. If we make everything big and important, then nothing becomes big and important.

But just because you didn’t catch a big fish, doesn’t mean your work was in vain. It was a shot across the bow of all those leftist-anti-Americans saying “We’re watching you - you screw up, we’re going to nail you.” Even though, they know they’ll get a free pass from the MSM, they have to worry about great Americans like you.

Heck if you really want to p*ss them off, you should send media matters a nice note telling them that they might be in a technical violation and breaking the law. Nothing makes those liebrals madder than a nice, polite conservative.
