Fox And Friends Psychoanalyze ‘Admitted Liar,’ Media Matters Founder David Brock

Video
» 97 comments

Recently Jon Stewart received the attention of many Fox News personalities, and now it seems Media Matters founder David Brock and his organization are the new people of interest. This morning Juan Williams suggested Media Matters is trying to ruin people’s lives, and now Fox News contributor Dr. Keith Ablow weighs in with his psychological profile of what exactly makes Brock tick.

Ablow commented on how Brock previously was a “right-wing hatchet man,” yet now considers conservatives to be the enemy:

“This is somebody who seemingly has such low self-esteem that he’s lurching from one group to another. Whoever will embrace him and reassure him that he’s a decent guy . . . that’s who he’s going to be with.”

Yet Brock’s punishment for being a thorn in Fox’s side wasn’t complete yet, as Steve Doocy described him as “an admitted liar” and Ablow added Brock is a “very dangerous man” who was adopted, which ultimately could explain why he is “full of self-hatred” without feeling loved. If it wasn’t clear already, the gloves are definitely coming off in this anything goes war of words.

    “New people of interest”? Really, Matt? Are you actually unaware of MM’s avowed war on Fox and all of Ailes’ business interests?

  • teccec

    Fueds have proven good for Fox’s bottom line. I’m a bit surprised Fox seems to be going all in for this campaign, maybe they are hoping to Acorn Media Matters before the election season heats up. I don’t recall if Media Matters was one of the leaders of the left’s outrage that the dems would consider having a dem debate on Fox for the 2008 election (irony of being willing to talk to the Taliban and Iranians but not the millions of Fox viewers aside) resulting in a near last minute pull out of the leading candidates, but I’m sure Media Matters would do what it could to interfere with any debates this time around. To improve discourse in this country we need to be willing to speak to each other,

  • ModerateMan

    I think Fox should do a story psychoanalyzing THE PEOPLE WHO READ AN FOLLOW MEDIAMATTERS.ORG. If CNN can get away with “psychoanalyzing” the listeners of a mainstream conservative like Rush Limbaugh then Fox can get away with going after the far left that actually consumes the hatred of MediaMatters.

    The website has been refuted enough so only somebody with the intelligence of a slug would believe it. The problem is Brock declared jihad on FNC and now they are getting hit for it. waaaah.

    It’s obvious Fox is still afraid of Media Matters.

    Roger Ailes eats idiots like that for breakfast. He also doesn’t mind smacking them around a bit. They need to do a profile on Olliver Willis next. How bad does he hate himself to eat Twinkies by the pallet?

  • skyfet

    I’ve noticed the Folks at Fox are fighting back, Since last week. Media matters have beaten the hell out of these jokers that they are left with no choice but to fight back.

  • RhapsodyinBlue

    Hey look, Keith Ablow is still chasing nickles around television. His failed TV show, failed TV show appears, failed Howard Stern appearances, failed etc etc I guess have backed him into a corner into being nothing more than a FoxNews lapdog

  • http://www.zazzle.com/talkingpoints NORBIT Jr.

    Media Matters solicits “dirt” on FOX hosts, officers and figureheads, and Matt Scneider goes after the RESPONSE to the Orchestrated Smear from this Soros-Funded Hit Squad?

    Hey Matt, did you cast the same critical eye on the rest of the MSM, while they’ve spent the last three years tearing apart Sarah Palin?
    (And remember, it’s Media Matter’s cousins in the “Mainstream Media” that attempt to legitimze them by calculatingly identifying them as a “media watchdog” group.)

    C’mon Matt, you come to the defense of a demonstrably partisan and politically driven & paid-for attack group like Media Matters, and still be expected to be taken seriously by thinking people?

  • Perdido

    Media Matters serves as a translator. For example, when Fox says they’re against people entering the country illegally, the Media Matters translation is that Fox is against all immigration.

    You are confused on the term “stated mission” aren’t you? Fox News has never stated any such thing, that is merely your interpretation of their programming. Media Matters founder Brock however has publicly stated his and Media Matters Mission is to destroy Fox News.

    What part of that is hard to comprehend? Try arguing in facts, not “interpretations” you’ll win more often.

  • CosmosDan

    Isn’t this a prime example of what Jon Stewart was saying recently. When Fox goes after someone it’s always justified , when someone goes after them, they never are. What a bunch of crybabies. And Steve Doocy commenting on anybodies honesty is laughable.

    I personally find it interesting that the network is starting to go whole hog on anyone that critisizes them. To me it undermines their claim on just reporting the news on the news shows and the pundits being able to pick their topic, and yet each and everyone picks the same week, sometimes day to beigin the campaign against Stewart, NPR, MM, etc.

    Amazing!! Absolutely amazing!! Glenn Beck’s close friend and psychiatrist is asked by Fox News to give a psychological profile of MediaMatters and its founder. This is definitely a new low for Fox News. I really hope they don’t start using mental health professionals to support their political agenda more often in the future. Conversely, I wouldn’t want MSNBC to have a psychiatrist chastising the current leader of the Heritage Foundation, a non profit right wing organization. It’s highly lamentable, unprofessional conduct for any news organization to be going to such extremes in an attempt to buttress their argument.

    Juan knows, because he’s the victim of Media Matter’s crusade to silence anyone who doesnt tow the Democrat party line. I think Krauthammer hit the nail on the head during a discussion of the topic on PBS.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2gG-vOlnio

    Listen to the responses given to Krauthammer’s questions. This is a brilliant example of why our media is so biased. These people are complete hypocrites and seem incapable of seeing it it. Look at how Nina just stares at the table as she gives her response. She knows its total bullshit. Maybe she had never even thought about it before and had no idea how to respond without incriminating herself and NPR. That’s part of the problem. An inability to consistently apply their own standards.

    But good news this morning: The challenging Obama era and 9.1% national unemployment rate do not include the 454 people now helping President Obama do presidential things.

    This crowd is being paid a total of $37,121,463 this year. That’s up seven staff members and nearly $4 million from 2008, the last year of George W. Bush’s presidency.

    Fully 141 Obama aides — or nearly one-in-three — earn more than $100,000 a year. That’s also up from the 130 with that scale salary in Bush’s last year.

    Twenty-one Obama aides earn the top-dollar $172,200.

    You are wrong, moron. What Ailes was trying to do as a low-level PR person in the Nixon White House was to get out a message when all the major media was hostile. This was not 1973 or 1974, when Nixon was on his way out the door — this was 1970, in the first half of Nixon’s first term. Ailes was not asking for a fawning lovefest, like Obama received from everyone except FNC; he was just looking for a way to bypass the MSM, to communicate directly with the American people.

    Bullshit. The sole purpose of your first comment was to make a snide remark about Fox News, you and I both know that, so cut the crap, this isn’t some court or official inquiry where I have to prove the obvious to a bunch of simpletons.

  • socaldon

    This is hysterical. Fox accusing another of high crimes and misdemeanors. I have yet to view a segment where, were I a mouth breather, I could tell what was news and what was opinion. Further most of their viewers ingest all the swill they produce. Ablow has now proven himself unprofessional and I will send a clip to the appropriate licensing agency as he has totally revealed himself. No doubt Fox has him on some sort of tryout for his own show spewing hate and discord. In the area of journalism, Fox Sucks. I was suspicious with the book with Beck, now it’s confirmed. The good doctor is professionally not allowed to venture a guess on anyone without examining them and Ablow knows that.

    Their lies are being exposed to more and more peole every day.

    Media Matters serves as a translator. For example, when Fox says they’re against people entering the country illegally, the Media Matters translation is that Fox is against all immigration.

    I’d like to see that exact example.

    This coming from an admitted liar and a progressive pig.

    Ronald Reagan was a Democrat then switched to Conservative Republican. Ronald Reagan was a paid liar who made movies pretending to be something he was not. Arab owned Fox News is talking out their ass as usual.

    Since Fox News is trying to take down MediaMatters does that mean they are still “fair and balanced?”

    No, they are just doing what CBS “60 Minutes” does just about every week — it’s sometimes called “investigative reporting”.

    Even Cheney called himself Darth Vader… I just know that I’m on the side for good.

    No wonder Dr. Ablow gets along with Glenn Beck and coauthored a book with him (meaning that he essentially wrote it for the severely dysfunctional (ADD) Beck. Ablow is smearing Brock with pseudo-analysis from afar after once stating on Beck’s show that a psychologist cannot psychoanalyze someone without a face to face interview with that person.

    Oops.

    Obviously the word has gone out to all Fox staff that they are to treat Media Matters, who expose some of the many lies that are told on Fox, as the enemy and discredit them. Apparently, they took their cue from Beck who has been successfully de-legitimizing Media Matters for months.

    When Media Matters declared war on Fox a few months back, I noted that “By announcing their strategy and tactics, Media Matters gave up the elements of stealth and surprise. By telling Ben Smith at Politico what they are about to undertake, David Brock undermined their own effort! Now Fox is on notice.” Someone at Media Matters needs to read “The Art of War.”

    Fox is the “enemy” of citizens needing honest and accurate information. It’s clear that Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch created a propaganda arm for the GOP. That’s wonderful for partisans but bad for American democratic order which needs information, not propaganda.

    If he truly spread vicious lies to both win a college editor position AND for politics, Ablow’s profile of Brocks reveals consistency.  I think Ablow should stick to assessing the behavior and avoid assessing ‘the cause’ of his disorder.   Diminishes a really solid assessment of a pattern of vile lying for causes.  

    As to Media Matters, if your editor has a history of pathological lies, no one should listen.  Then again I see Barnicle on Morning Joe and all I can think of is that he faked a bunch of stories at the Boston Globe.  In the media, ethics doesn’t matter unless its the subject of your story I suppose.
