Melanie Morgan has a must read column regarding Media Matters. First she discloses a huge lie made by Media Matters:
While the story of the Virginia Tech shootings was by far the No. 1 story on news websites such as the Drudge Report and WorldNetDaily, for the liberals at Media Matters, the Don Imus controversy was still their featured topic. These liberals weren't done circling around the carcass of Don Imus' career, celebrating and howling like coyotes after a kill.
It was Media Matters after all who had launched the campaign against Imus, after the far-left organization's employee, 26-year-old Ryan Chiachiere, heard Imus' racist invective against the women's basketball team at Rutgers University.
Jamison Foser, the organization's managing director, bragged to liberal reporter/critic Brad Kava at the San Jose Mercury News about Media Matter's role in instigating the public uproar against Imus.
The bizarre reason Media Matters became so invested in the campaign against Imus was that the organization equated Imus' racist comments with conservative values.
Imus representing conservative values? What a lie, as Morgan points out:
To the contrary, Imus stood as one of the few progressive/populist broadcasters in the entire talk-radio industry who had managed to attract a decent-sized audience, estimated by Talkers Magazine to be around 2.25 million listeners each week. His show was listened to by an influential list of liberal reporters, commentators, analysts and political activists.
One after the other, liberal reporters and commentators have stepped forth to offer a mea culpa for appearing on the Imus program, saying that they felt their appearances on Imus' show helped legitimize their membership in the liberal media elite.
And here is more on just to what effort this attack dog will go against those who happen to mention the truth:
The famously vulgar and liberal Time magazine blogger Ana Marie Cox expressed similar thoughts on why an invitation to be on the Imus show was so appealing to her:
I had been invited inside the circle, and to be perfectly honest, I was thrilled to be there. … I did the show almost solely to earn my media-elite merit badge.
When the Los Angeles Times noted that the loss of Imus' radio program (and accompanying MSNBC simulcast) would hurt liberal causes and Democrat candidates for office, Media Matters launched an attack on the Times story because it showcased the non-conservative leanings of Imus.
And Media Matters seems to be upset at Rush Limbaugh for mentioning the idea that the VT Killer was liberal:
On the April 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, host Rush Limbaugh declared that the perpetrator of the April 16 Virginia Tech shootings "had to be a liberal," adding: "You start railing against the rich, and all this other -- this guy's a liberal. He was turned into a liberal somewhere along the line. So it's a liberal that committed this act." Limbaugh then complained, in a possible reference to Media Matters for America, that "Now the drive-bys will read on a website that I'm attacking liberalism by comparing this guy to them. That's exactly what they do every day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just pointing out a fact. I am making no extrapolation." Limbaugh regularly describes mainstream media sources as "the drive-by media."
Then they turn to the this:
Five days after the Oklahoma City bombing, in an April 24, 1995, speech in Minneapolis, Clinton criticized "loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other. They spread hate.
And now Media Matters refuses to accept the far-left hate that fueled the VT killer. The hatred toward "rich kids" gives obvious proof that Cho was fueled by hatred arising our of the Democrats’ Marxist class warfare rhetoric. And in my previous post, we have Cho’s hatred being based on the left’s attack on God, country, and family:
It seems that none of the foundational structures of Western Civilization, Christianity, capitalism, family, are spared his rage. In other words, he really meant what he said in his last words: "you (that is us, America) made me do this."
And Melanie Morgan points out that Media Matters is part of the anti-American far-left movement by attacking our Constitutional Second Amendment freedom:
But make no mistake – the campaign by Media Matters for America against Don Imus is part of their way to send a message to conservatives on the airwaves and in print: "We're comin' to get you. We got Imus. And we'll get you, too." It is a chilling threat to our free speech rights in this country.
Now, with their current crusade in support of the gun control lobby, Media Matters is targeting our Second Amendment rights as well.
Like that mentally unbalanced and angry gunman at Virginia Tech, they'll methodically march through the domiciles of the conservative movement, targeting the movement's leaders for career elimination – until and unless we stand up and fight back against their campaign of mayhem against conservative leaders and causes.
And in South Dakota, the far-left Democrat attack dogs are Hildebrand Tewes Consulting. Their blog gives us a clear vision of the lying left and their hatred toward America, Christianity, and family.
