The Left No Longer Finds Dissent Patriotic
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 26th at 04:46 AM |
Workforce Fairness is releasing a series of videos chronicling left-wing intimidation, including showing up at people’s houses to harass them and their families. We’re pleased to debut the first of the videos here at RedState. The videos document a growing trend in American civic discourse — the use of intimidation against private citizens to punish dissent. Listen to Media Matters For America and other outlets | Read More »
Media Matters’ Desperate Need to Focus on Rush Limbaugh
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 23rd at 04:46 AM |
The Washington Times has the story of Media Matters’ latest effort to drive Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. They’ll use radio ads in eight cities. In one of the anti-Limbaugh ads, listeners are urged to call the local station that carries Limbaugh to say “we don’t talk to women like that” in our city. Ad time was purchased in Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Seattle; Milwaukee; St. | Read More »
Dylan Byers of Politico Defends Media Matters While Ignoring Herman Cain
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 13th at 03:35 PM |
We should not be surprised Dylan Byers is defending Media Matters over at the Politico. I’m sure he does not want the spotlight shifting to him and the Politico for continually running Media Matters generated hit jobs. Byers himself cited Media Maters bashing Dana Loesch. He repurposed a Media Matters hit job on George Will recently too. He makes sure we all see both Greg | Read More »
Media Matters
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 13th at 10:13 AM |
A friend of mine has been insistent for a few years that I set up a Google News Alert about myself. It was very interesting to watch it last week. On my radio show I’d laughed about that Occupy guy in McPherson Park who was tearing down police fliers and cussing out the police until they shot him with a taser. One day last week, | Read More »
RedState: A “Nerve Center” of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 26th at 10:23 PM |
Well, this will make you feel good. The kids over at Media Matters are gearing up to lose their 501(c)(3) status I’m guessing as they go headlong into a new mission to destroy Fox News and Newscorp. Along the way, the Politico tells us this: The group, launched as a more traditional media critic, has all but abandoned its monitoring of newspapers and other television | Read More »
Media Matters Helps Prove the CDC Did Cover Up Abortion Data
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 7th at 05:00 AM |
It was certainly not intentional, but the leftwing interest group Media Matters for America has uncovered an internal memo from the CDC proving the CDC did in fact cover up and suppress abortion data until RedState revealed the coverup. On Thursday, I reported that the Centers for Disease Control was covering up abortion data. Each year since 1969, the Centers for Disease Control has published | Read More »
Media Matters ADMITS Barack Obama Has Bribed Congressman Jim Matheson
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 4th at 02:22 PM |
Media Matters, doing its typical shilling for the Obama Administration, threw up some lame talking points about Barack Obama appointing Scott Matheson, brother of Congressman Jim Matheson, to the federal bench. The right has pointed out it has the appearance of bribery. Today, trying to refute the accusation, Media Matters gives away the game. Casually in defending the appointment, Media Matters notes Scott Matheson told | Read More »
Media Matters Is On the Case of the ‘Stolen’ ACORN Rolodex
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 22nd at 06:25 PM |
If you were doubting the legitimacy of RedState’s access to Bertha Lewis’s contacts list, look no further than Media Matters’ overheated rhetorical condemnation of our writing about it. Double standard much? If this were a right-wing organization, Media Matters would be plowing through it. As Media Matters does not organizationally poop without prior coordination among left-wing interests, we can presume they are scared by the | Read More »
Media Matters Lies. Joe Wilson Told the Truth
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 10th at 01:26 PM |
The Media Matters guys are out lying today about Joe Wilson. They are crying to everyone that the Democrats’ health care legislation specifically excludes illegal aliens from health care. It does. But only a confused moron like David Brock and his minion would be so vapid and shallow as to take Congress at its word (they never would if it were a Republican plan). The | Read More »
