‘Sabotage’: Media Matters Dumpster Diving for Dirt Against Fox News Employees

Written By : Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston

Politico has a story up about Media Matters that shows just how illegitimate, how low down, how filled with vitriol and hate its efforts to push George Sorros’ left-wing agenda is. Media Matters, you see, has quietly revamped its operations to go from mere media criticism to outright enemy and saboteur of Fox News. They are even going to far as to research the lives and financial holdings of even the lowliest Fox employees in order to “sabotage” Fox and to blackmail employees.

Ben Smith recalls that Media Matters, a left-wing blog funded to the tune of $10 million a year by folks like billionaire financier George Soros, originally started its life on the Internet as the sort of media opposition to right of center blogs, talk radio hosts, and TV newsers like Fox News. But Smith reports that Media Matters is now retrenching and starting a new direction: saboteur of Fox News.

I don’t say “saboteur” in hyperbole, either. Media Matters founder David Brock himself casts Media Matters’ new role as the official saboteur of Fox.

The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of �guerrilla warfare and sabotage� aimed at the Fox News Channel.

Brock calls his new direction a “war on Fox.”

Media Matters is even going so far as to get as much dirt as it can on individual Fox News employees (not just top execs, but everyone they can find information on).

�We made a list of every single person who works for Fox and tried to figure out who might be disgruntled and why, and we went out to try to meet them,� he said. �Clearly, somebody in that organization is giving us primary source documents.�

Along with attacking individual employees, Media Matters is looking to enlist the aid of regulators and government both here and a broad to attack the network. “The group hired an executive from MoveOn.org,” Smith reports “to work on developing campaigns among News Corp. shareholders and also is looking for ways to turn regulators in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere against the network.”

Media Matters also intends to go after Rupert Murdoch’s personal commercial interests outside of Fox News.

In other words, Media Matters is treating Fox as a political organization and not a media conglomerate. “Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP,” MM’s Brock told Politico.

But this is obviously an illicit campaign. Fox is clearly not some sort of arm of the Republican Party. Does Fox have a leaning toward the GOP and/or the conservative side of the issue? Sure, without a doubt. But it is still a media organization separate and distinct from political organizations. Fox News is no adjunct of the GOP any more than NBC, CBS, ABC, or even MSNBC are somehow arms of the Democrat Party.

Media Matters is no longer even pretending to be interested in journalism. In fact, it is approaching illegal activities with this campaign. Certainly Media Matters is lapsing into immoral activities if nothing else.

But this is the left, folks. This is the hatred and the attack dog-style that the left specializes in.

Media Matters was once a perfectly legitimate, though left-wing media critic. Now it is a gutter sniping, mud slinging, dumpster diving, blackmailing, saboteur. I’d call it the National Enquirer of the Internet, but even that isn’t mean enough to describe MM.

More like Media Matters has become the KGB of the left.

Let’s quit kidding ourselves, shall we? Fox News is the Republican Broadcasting System, yet it fails on a continual basis to inform its listens of that fact. Ordinary people are being deceived into believing that what they are listening to is unbiased news, when in truth Fox is selling the right wing-capitalist viewpoint, that one which people like Murdoch espouses.

So why shouldn’t Media Matters unveil the truth about Fox continually. Until Fox stops the deception, and calls itself what it is, a purveyor of right wing perspectives, a wealth focused one, it should be investigated and unveiled continually.

There are many people who are unsophisticated and are readily taken in by the deception.

Newsbusters has a recap on every other media outlet in the US, all of which are the mouthpieces of Soros and the Democratic Party. Fox, meanwhile, proven to be close to the center, is deemed conservative by political hacks and people with limited intelligence like Joe here.

Joe, a poor person who spends all day on the internet instead of working, hates the right because they point out that if Joe had worked harder, he wouldn’t be poor and a failure in life.

Life is hard Joe. There are winners, like Nixon, and losers, like you.

The problem Joe has is there has NEVER been anybody to not tow the “party” line and they sputter and bloviate about the “bias” and that they are the “Republican Machine” but, when confronted by the evidence of the leftist bias they dismiss and deflect it while NEVER ANSWERING THE PROBLEM!!!!!

Here’s some news just in, from Robert Reich. What did Fox print about it?

“Robert Reich | Why Governor LePage Can’t Erase History, and Why We Need a Fighter in the White House

Robert Reich

Robert Reich’s Blog: “Maine Governor Paul LePage has ordered state workers to remove from the state labor department a 36-foot mural depicting the state�s labor history…. Are we still in America? The current Republican assault on workers – on their right to form unions, on unemployment insurance and Social Security, on public employees, and even (courtesy of Governor LePage) on our common memory – is … despicable. And it�s why we need a President who will fight for workers and fight against this assault – just as Perkins and FDR did.”

Robert Reich, like you is a partisan liberal hack. Perhaps he should run for office and do something. And unfortunately, Democratic blocking of Social Security reform under Bush has caused SS to run in the red.

Sucks to be you.

Anonymous

Social security has been in surplus since its inception. But because, since Reagan, it has been used to cover federal deficits, there is a falsehood being perpetrated that it is in the red, mostly by people like yourself, Dick.

Bush’s privitization effort fell like a lead balloon because most people were too smart to believe his false rhetoric. The cause of our deficists during the Bush administration were largely caused by taxcuts to the wealthy, especially the 15% rate on capital gains and stock dividends. Since the top 10% own 85% of the stock market, it merely added to the wealth inequality that has grown since Father Reagan, who won another one for the Gipper.

Social security has been in surplus since its inception. But because, since Reagan, it has been used to cover federal deficits, there is a falsehood being perpetrated that it is in the red, mostly by people like yourself, Dick.

Bush’s privitization effort fell like a lead balloon because most people were too smart to believe his false rhetoric. The cause of our deficists during the Bush administration were largely caused by taxcuts to the wealthy, especially the 15% rate on capital gains and stock dividends. Since the top 10% own 85% of the stock market, it merely added to the wealth inequality that has grown since Father Reagan, who won another one for the Gipper.

In reference to Joe- like Greg Gutfield says: you can’t teach someone to un-suck.

Here’s some news just in, from Robert Reich. What did Fox print about it?

“Robert Reich | Why Governor LePage Can’t Erase History, and Why We Need a Fighter in the White House

Robert Reich

Robert Reich’s Blog: “Maine Governor Paul LePage has ordered state workers to remove from the state labor department a 36-foot mural depicting the state�s labor history…. Are we still in America? The current Republican assault on workers – on their right to form unions, on unemployment insurance and Social Security, on public employees, and even (courtesy of Governor LePage) on our common memory – is … despicable. And it�s why we need a President who will fight for workers and fight against this assault – just as Perkins and FDR did.”

A gorilla journalism is only okay when your side it doing it. See also: James (I need help with my credit cards) O’Keefe and NPR. Too bad kids, just getting what you dished out. ;)

Although O’Keefe has been remarkably skilled with humiliating liberal icons, he’s also skated /very/ close to the edge (that mess with Sen. Mary Landrieu, for example).

However, I would note that NPR wouldn’t have been in the soup if that idiot child Schiller hadn’t talked about how NPR ‘didn’t need federal money’… right when there’s strong pressure to cut federal and state spending. Oops.
