LIFE IN GLASS HOUSES

Should The Media Matters Crowd Throw Stones?







How much do we really know about the group that is now determined to take down America's biggest conservative talk show hosts?

In a new piece for Human Events, author Catherine Moy reveals not only the unhinged personal nature of the site's backers, but also their sheer hypocrisy:

After three years of tax-exempt operation, Media Matters’ credibility as a media watchdog is questionable. Its leader, Brock, is a self-proclaimed liar who strong-armed sources that didn’t agree with him. While writing his mea culpa, “Blinded by the Right,” Brock was hospitalized in a mental facility where he spent time in a “quiet room” and “had delusions, he thought people were trying to kill him,” according to the Drudge Report.

Media Matters stars, including Brock, Eric Alterman and Ryan Chiachiere, are hypocrites who have used the very sexist, bigoted and racist language for which they crucify others, including Imus. They appear to care more about taking out the kneecaps of conservatives than pursuing truth or accuracy in the media. After all, Media Matters certainly allows bigoted posts on their web site -- as long as they are directed toward conservatives.

Here, Moy makes an interesting point about the way Brock's gang bullies the mainstream media when it insufficiently engages in their character assassination agenda:

Perhaps Media Matters’ most publicized assault, aside from the April attack on Imus, started when Alterman sniped Time journalist John Cloud, who wrote an April 17, 2005, article about conservative pundit and best-selling author Ann Coulter titled “Ms. Right.”

“Time’s cover story/whitewash of Ann Coulter, here, will make it impossible for serious people to accept what the magazine reports at face-value ever again,” Alterman wrote. “It is as if Time had contracted a journalistic venereal disease from Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly and is now seeking to lower itself to their level in pursuit of their ideologically-obsessed audiences.”

Imagine making the contention that the mainstream media is too soft on Ann Coulter! That's one bizarre agenda.
