Media Matters has laid off dozens of employees following a lawsuit filed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

The conservative smear network laid off a handful of their employees on Friday.

Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said the company is taking action to ensure they’re “sustainable, sturdy, and successful for whatever lies ahead.”

“We’re confronting a legal assault on multiple fronts, and, given how rapidly the media landscape is shifting, we need to be extremely intentional about how we allocate resources in order to stay effective,” said Media Matters President Angelo Carusone. “Nobody does what Media Matters does.”

One America News sent a cease and desist letter to the outlet last year for writing over 300 hit pieces on our network.

Among those fired included writer Bobby Lewis, whose work particularly focused on OAN, such as accusing us of spreading misinformation and hate speech online.

I believe a poor choice of wording by the staff author(s).

I read it to mean: "Media Matters, the network that constantly falsely smears conservatives", as OAN has no love for Media Matters.

However I may be wrong.

“Nobody does what Media Matters does.”

Possibly the only true thing that POS ever said. Nobody spews hate and lies like Media Matters.

Excellent! Now if someone could just spank the Southern Poverty Defamation Center in a similar fashion, I would be tickled pink.
