Paranoid Media Watchdog Threatens Press Freedoms
IBD Editorials ^ | February 13, 2012

Posted on 02/13/2012 5:21:02 PM PST by Kaslin

Propaganda: A left-wing "media watchdog" boss reportedly colludes with the White House and fantasizes that snipers are aiming at him. The real assassination attempt is government targeting of freedom of the press.

Media Matters For America head David Brock surrounded himself with "more security than a Third World dictator," including a semi-automatic-toting "assistant" protecting him from right-wing assassination squads, according to the Daily Caller.

Add in ex-journalist Brock's reported $250,000 annual salary and Media Matters financier George Soros may start wondering if he's getting the best, ahem, bang for his buck.

Recent revelations expose Media Matters as nothing more than a thinly disguised adjunct of the Democratic National Committee. With President Obama announcing he was breaking his campaign promise of refusing the help of Super PACs, you'll never guess who serves as the head of a new one called American Bridge 21st Century: Media Matters' David Brock. And there's lots of overlap in the two groups' donor lists.

And guess who a year and a half ago met — with then-Media Matters president Eric Burns — in the White House with close Obama adviser and friend Valerie Jarrett and recently departed White House communications director Anita Dunn, according to visitor logs: David Brock.

Meanwhile, Dunn was "a regular presence" at Media Matters' offices, according to a worker there who became a Daily Caller source.

Media Matters' prime target is Fox News, the remarkable rise of which is the crowning achievement of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. It is now long ago that Fox achieved what so many media "experts" claimed was impossible: It unseated CNN as the most-watched and most-powerful news channel.

A year or so back Brock accused Glenn Beck of sending right wing suicide bombers after him.

Apparently, cocaine makes you even more paranoid than weed.

Hell of a drug, ain’t it, Mr. Brock?

A man that paranoid must have one hell of a pile of guilt behind it.

IIRC, wasn’t David Brock a fairly fluent conservative writer who appeared in American Spectator? Then he came out of the closet and turned into a Hillary attack dog. That David Brock?

The last sentence of the article is the most alarming:

“President Obama is determined to control the information flow being received by the public.”

Not if we have any say about it. Thousands of conservative bloggers and hundreds of conservative news sources will fight back.

Just because I creep around in his bushes at night with a 30 mm gun from an A-10 is no reason to be paranoid.

You’re only paranoid if someone can prove no one is following you...
