It is impressive a random internet outfit has the most successful cable station’s nickers in a twist.

Who else besides Fox would question their tax exempt status?

It is interesting how organized Fox News is in this.  It’s not just one of their hosts, rather almost all of their shows/hosts are hammering home the same message.

It’s an organization that gets millions of dollars of tax-free money. The donations to them are tax-deductible, and they themselves pay no taxes on it. They cheat us twice.

They can do whatever the hell they want and target whoever they want, just don’t do it at the expense of us taxpayers.

Repeating what Fox News says Verbatim is not targeting.

While I get that Fox News wants to attack Media Matters, it is dumb to push this argument when there are conservative organizations doing much of the same thing. It is just pandering to their sheep, who are incapable of drawing their own conclusions.

Ha!  Fox questions Media Matters tax exempt status.

Second Mediaite article now in which it’s all about Fox.

this is crazy…media matters is NECESSARY for people these days…i mean we need to take down FOX news and the great people of media matters call out bias when they see it….i  mean these guys are fair and balanced not fox news…..i wish the best for them and their goals

 i want them to have more tax payer money…we need to take down fox news for the good of this country

You would think News Corp would lay low, with the shitstorm they are in the middle of in England and Australia. America needs to start a serious investigation into News Corp.

 they are not a “random internet outfit”, they are a respected organization funded by some of the best liberal thinkers….this is an organization that needs to emulated and one of the few organized enough to take down fox news

 media matters will win this battle…just watch

 seriouslly

 well said

 fox news needs to be taken off the air

That must be the new canned response from the liberal talking points memo.

Its laughable how the vile left never seems to have an issue with MSNBC.  Selective outrage.

Look here libs, I’m sorry if you are so upset with a station that reports all of the news…not just the news that you want to hear, but for you to want them “taken down”, shows just how out of touch you really are.    You’re living in the wrong country if that’s what you want.  

It is hard to see how they can lose. I assume Media Matters don’t rely on advertising?

MSNBC has nightly attacks on Fox News. Are you suggesting if Media Matters didn’t exist you wouldn’t hear about Fox’s alleged misdeeds? There’s only one conservative leaning network. All the others are either left leaning or hard left. What more do you need?

“Tax Experts”?

One wingnut  clown from some 9 months ago, Billdo and the Baboon Beck braying the same refrain for years, yet Faux and the zombie viewers haven’t done jack…

Lack of enthusiasm or Faux knows they are full of it?

 Nice avatar

Okay lets see who agrees with this.  It may surprise a lot of you.

I am all for getting rid of  MM tax exempt status.  As a matter of fact, I am for getting rid of the Tax Exempt clause all together.  This includes political parties, think tanks, charities, and yes the big pink elephant, churches.  I believe we should shift the tax burden to organizations instead of individuals.  That means any and all organizations (corporate, foreign, or non-profit) should be taxed like individuals.   

If they did they’d starve to death.

Fox has been questioning this for well over a year.

But some people don’t believe it will gain traction.  In the alternative, the same reasoning against MMFA could be used to go after conservative-centric 501(c)(3) organization.  (http://www.verumserum.com/?p=37903)

blah blah , whine, whine, media is liberal.

No, truth has a liberal slant, so because you believe some far out craziness, you want to make it out to be the “liburel meedia” is lying or left leaning. 
No, sorry! that’s just some stupid shit repubs tell themselves to keep themselves from going bat shit! 

To the contrary, liberals have been much more honest in admitting that MSNBC has a liberal bias, while conservative viewers are consistently naive about what they’re getting from Fox. They delude themselves into thinking that they’re getting, as you’ve said, “all the news,” when that is demonstrably false. 

I know liberals (mostly friends) and I know conservatives (mostly family), and it’s fascinating to see how one group knows what they’re getting and the other is in a bubble.

Never forget the words of David Frum, former speechwriter for George W. Bush:
“Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox”

I’m pretty sure Fox News doesn’t get too worked up about media matters bad behavior.

Fox News: A huge cable news success.

media matters: a small liberal propaganda web site. 

If you go to the http://www.mediamatters.org site, you will find that 90% of what they present is in the form of video and audio links to actual media footage. They critique that footage, from the standpoint of it being honest, and comment on that. Its not incideous, it is the way that public opinion is framed in the market place of ideas. There are numerous such organizations on both the left and the right.

Questions?

Where is the GOP DEMANDING they lose their tax status?

E-mail every one of your reps now over this travesty – Democrat or Republican, because the long knives can come out on either side!

What’s the White House have to say about perverting the American Media for political gain —

Remember:
The MOST TRANSPARENT Administration? lol

HE’LL LIE ABOUT ANYTHING!

amazing faux is the only place reporting on this “story”! i say double their tax exemption until they bring down the ignorant joke that is faux news!

Liberals, honest and quoting David Frum…Too F-ing funny.

And NoBits will BELIEVE anything!

Oh yeah..that sounds like freedom of speech.

Yep they ought to take Media Matters tax exempt status right after they take it from every church. We shouldn’t as a government be subsidizing  Media Matters, churches or any other partisan group. Do it now!

Media Matters has been caught in the past selectively editing those videos then lying about it when they go on air to push their stories. You have to take info from them with a grain of salt, as with any propaganda driven site. It’s like GM saying they make the best cars. Very few actually believe that to be a literal statement.

Frum is one of the last honest conservatives around (which is why he’s so hated by the Limbaugh wing of the party).

Yeeessss, destroy them. Take them down my minions… Yesss feeel the power. The dark side is strong…

 Prove me wrong.

White house is not saying anything, they were implicated in part 1 of this 3 part story…

 NoBits you forgot to like your own comment

Thats not what I saw when I was there…

What was  interesting is that Media Matters was accusing Fox of being the mouth piece for the Republican party and Fox is saying “no we’re not.  we are fair and balanced”.  You have to be smoking some pretty serious dope to believe the Fox response. Even CPAC single them out as their news supporter with the only caveat “Fox you need to even be a little more conservative.”

I always thought Oreilly and Beck sounded a little paranoid when they talked about Soros and Media Matters, now they just look smart.

Well anyone else this group is interested in attacking which it looks like is no one.

Yeesss destroy them my minions… Take them down, silence their voices forever….

Why  cant I find Fast and Furious on MSNC?

Sorry, fail. Report came from the daily caller.

Desssstrooooyy them. Deessstroy them all!

It’s not a random internet outfit.  it is an organization which has been established for the specific purpose of antagonizing another business.  The fact that it does so with White House support is somewhat significant…

SILENCE THEM!

lol “respected organization” lol “best liberal thinkers”

Kudos to Mediate for posting this +1.

Stick it where the sun don’t shine, Fox

You just keep on believing that and you’ll be just fine.

Because they need room for racist AR15 carrying Tea Party bigots.  Of course, they need time to edit the film to make it appear to be a white guy first.

Exactly- so why the need for a tax-exempt status?

You obviously didnt look: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM2_3_yn9lQ or 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L1TVXt6WbU that's just 2 occasions, that the actual head of the committee investigating Fast and Furious , Rep. Issa  (R) this is just in a 2 month period. There a tons of other examples. PWND

 they dont antagonize another business….they call out fox news on their lies…and try to them off the air….fox news lies hurt our country

Please name one conservative media organization funded with millions of tax free $ that has tax-exempt status and the backing of the WH?

Just like you have to take everything uttered from anyone on FOX “news” (between certain hours, I hear) with a grain of salt because FOX “news” is allowed to lie on the air, right?

 your a fool if you believe the lies about msnbc…they are honestly the most fair news organization in the usa right now…any one who tell you otherwise is just a liar

 they dont have a liberal bias…they tell it how it is

 david and goliath…

 all lies..media matter just tells the straight truth

 seriously..we need to get fox news off the air

YES!! everyone reading this article needs to donate to media matters to help take fox news off the air… https://mediamatters.nationbuilder.com/donate ….please donate, every dollar counts!

I don’t just believe it, I know it.

Interesting right wing innovation.

“double their tax-exemption” what does that even mean???

Brent Bozo’s outfit has the same tax exempt status, and they’re out to get MSNBC. I don’t hear that in this coordinated smear campaign from Fox.  Besides, the Media Matters book about Fox comes out next week, and Fox is clearly s______g bricks over it. 

If you have to say you’re “Fair and Balanced” all the time, you probably arn’t

I guess all those democrats on Fox are not telling the truth when they take up for the socialist deceiving the country! Fox is the best for news and info and they are #1 in cable. Why, Because they ARE fair and Balanced 

They are playing right into Brock’s hand by doing this anti-MM campaign, because the book will have more notoriety than it otherwise would have.

see links below for proof of how stupid you sound…

any support or help this country and its citizens can give them to take down fox news the better

YES… Please donate to them at https://mediamatters.nationbuilder.com/donate every dollar counts.

You are correct…MM does repeat Fox News verbatim, and since Fox News exposes liberal fallacies and doesn’t cheer for Obama that makes Fox News a target for MM.

Seriously we need more media LIKE Fox on the air.

Done it

 you cant prove mr pork chops wrong…no one can

 they arent…and should be taken off the air

They do have a bit of a bias, but I certainly wouldn’t put them on par with Fox, which is a 24-hour GOP publicity machine. Every single story on Fox fits a preconceived narrative and the people who can’t see this are pretty dim.

 There were (FOX) commentators and pundits who were useful to the White House.” Former Bush White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, Hardball, 7/24/08

But then, you don’t have a choice, what with MSNBC billing itself as the “place for politics” while being the “home for progressives” and all.

Yet still, the lie pushers still attempt to push their false equivalencies.

Take your Frum quote, somehow thought by you as the best on this occasion with which to bash on Fox.  But Fox DOESN’T work for Republicans, didn’t work for Bush – NOR SHOULD IT.  They are a free and independent press.  Media Matters, on the other hand, works hand in glove with this current administration, and attacks any media outlets or personalities that vary from approved political narratives in order to keep them in line (and basically admits to writing MSNBC’s scripts).

The “realities” YOU choose are – dangerous – false equivalencies.

The Heritage Foundation,  The Family Research Council. Focus on the Family.
 It’s not that hard to google.    

 their is no media bias at msnbc…just lies that fox news tells people to make them believe that

 thats nuts

They are #1 because it is the sole conservative media outlet.  The rest for the exception of MSNBC are more to the middle than right or left. 

 thank you

…says the guy with the Stalin avatar…

Some see what you’re doing there. But not all.

thats msnbc not fox

I do not care about their commentary, but when they provide links to the audio and video, usually you can tell if it is cropped. Everybody must weigh the credibility of whatever information they run across, and nothing is accepted at face value any more. I certainly am aware that MM is liberal in orientation when I go there. Likewise, if I go to the Washington Times site to check on Reverend Moon, or to a moonie site like Bret Bozell’s, I realize that what they present is of a conservative bent. There is nothing wrong with that. I am happy that there is a good cross section of opinions. Silencing the opponent is lame.

 DC should investigate the collusion between the White House and OWS – it fits right into the class-warfare, Saul Alinsky-style strategy.

Faux News doesn’t like that Media Matters seems to be winning the war on “fair and balanced”.

 You’ve just reinforced the DC Expose, as well as launched an indictment against the whole White House-Media Matters-Mainstream Media Cabal!

Did you realize that?

Fair and balanced (or lack thereof) is your standard for who the government takes off the air? Really? We could have fun with this one. 

Why is it  liberals always want to take stuff off the air you disagree with? 

Then why do they care about them being tax exempt?

yup – every rightwing nutjob church (aka GOP get-out-the-vote house) should receive the same scrutiny as MMFA.

Brock will need to start carrying more guns. LOL.

Media Matters should investigate Harry Reid !
 He refuses to bring our President’s budget up for a vote. Barack worked hard typing this up, and Schumer, Durbin and even Little Debbie are not out talking up the virtues of this giveaway.

Agreed, no one should be tax exempt. Such organizations encourage fraud.

Quick poll here:  How many readers here follow MM? How often do you read their stories??

Yes, I’m sure your donations will help get Fox off the air. 

Do you actually believe this garbage?

Watch out. Soros & MM are hiding under your bed right now!

not canned response, the truth! Have you ever even been to the site? of course not, because hearing it come out of some asses mouth on fox is more then enough for you to believe. 

 What’s with all this “likes” idiocy?
You can’t “like” your own posts – you can only edit them!

Just because Obama tries to game the system at every opportunity, don’t assume that’s the norm.

I think you should sell everything you own and donate! Do it for your country. LOL.

 exactly ..

 media matters will win

just did, and do every month! I support MM and their efforts to silence FOX. And to the wingnuts who say its because they expose Obama, shit… I hated fox way before I ever heard the name Obama, ever since they were hanging off of Bushies balls. 

the issue isn’t bias. the problem is accuracy.   FOX lies.

YES! please donate to mediamatters…every dollar counts for us …liberals

apparently, you’ve missed FOX’s 24/7  media matters bash-a-thon this week.

 i disagree i think they should just stay focused on fox

shhhh! Your providing them with facts, this only serves to have them stick their heads up their asses even further, and seek shelter in Fox. 

to stop their propaganda

The fact that Fox features so very often on Daily Show and Colbert Report (Comedy Shows) tells you all you need to know about Fox i.e they’re a joke

Fox didnt work for Bush? HA! They carried those war criminals water for 8 years! So GTFO ! 

You are a real dummy. MSNBC is laughable. Makes my stomach churn just thinking about it.

funny how Fox doesnt mention 
American Conservative Union 501(c)3 ta status! one of the founders is Brent Bozell, who has an Media research Center, outfit similar to MM, but for the right! Hypocrites! Liars! You have been exposed!

Coming from someone with a thumbnail pic of mass murderer Joseph Stalin…seriously, go !@#$ urself.

Let’s see…

Frum worked in the White House as a speechwriter and had extraordinary access to the inner workings of their media strategies and the subterranean connections to Fox News.

You, on the other hand, are an anonymous internet commenter with nothing to contradict him.

I think I’ll listen to Frum.

Why should we make george sor-ass any richer. He is the one feeding them! 

really? show me 1 instance where the edited the video! ONE! 

Rarely.

something is wrong with you EVERY THING IS A CONSPIRACY and your upset that a book that will reflect poorly on FNC and the News Corporation is coming out and you are sying that media matters a media organization has no right to report on and investigate FNC so does that mean FNC has no right to investigate? ,we investigate you decide is one of there sayings and they are always claiming this that or the other is a FNC investigative special report.

If the media matters people want to investigate FNC then they can do that they can even investigate people at FNC it is legal and they do not seem to be making money at it, if the book causes FNC some trouble explainig themselves then oh well thats FNCs problem.

Would love to see Miss Nancy investigated too!! Her closet has so many skeltons in it she has run out of room to store her shoes.

The Republicans do the same thing but (big surprise) Fox is silent about it. 

“Governed by an independent Board of Trustees, The Heritage Foundation is an independent, tax-exempt institution.”

c’mon lets be honest, there is slight left slant at MSNBC. I am a full, blown lefty. so its fine with me, but their framing of issues, is coming from the left perspective . But it is a far cry  like exgop said , from the all out balls to the wall, right wing propaganda machine FOX has become. 

nor is investigating the private lives of fnc anchors, pundits and producers targeting, is it?…  i mean, if steve doocy got a traffic ticket back in ’97, that would just undermine any credibility of the entire news corp empire, wouldn’t it?…

 

hey Norby! is your caps lock broken?

Here’s a nice flow chart for ya!

MediaMatter’s propaganda ——> MSNBC on air material——> Mediaite online material

Here’s another:

MediaMatter’s propaganda ——> MSNBC revenue ——> Mediaite’s advertizing income   

Media Matters is simply ACORN for whites.

Everyone knows this to be true.

the GOP loved frum when he wrote the ‘axis of evil’ speech for the shrub…. and now anyone who doesnt tow the kochroach bros/ murderdock/ limpball line, is out, and called a RINO…. the GOP is the true enemy of the USA. the GOP has done more damage to this country in ten years, than the taliban ever has….

bush, cheney, rummy, gonzales, rice, even powell, are all war criminals.

the reichwing slobs hate it when a website puts up clips of their propaganda, and the the machine doesnt like to hear its own bs.   MMFA doesnt need to edit clips, the garbage in is garbage out from foolnuze.

LOL! Every single one of his posts is swimming in CAPITAL LETTERS and Exclamation Points!!!!!!!!!

where are the memos, the actul memos because all i could find at daily caller was them saying what the memos said and not one image of the memos, not one image of an actual e-mail from media matters, is this reporting  on that site? just say so and it is getting repeated every where with statements like “those that have seen them say….” or “they are purported to say….” and “sources say…

but there is not a single page of this supposed 85 pages available to view, NOT ONE and most real media investigations provide the documents that support the story, proof that is, and they have not one single document there at the daily callers web site.

if some one has a link to the place where the actual document =all 85 pages= can be seen please post it.

I am starting to believe that daily caller and FNC have phonied this up to cast doubt on this book FNC seems so very very worried about.

FNC can claim they did not know and were just reporting on reports and who knows what kind of contortions daily caller will pull to get out from under this, WHERE ARE THE 85 PAGES? Why are they not available for viewing with the story.

 1. Collusion and orchestration does not a conspiracy make.
 2. The “book” was of no consideration, nor mentioned by me.
 3. Investigative report should not portend politically-motivated skullduggery against working class engineers and producers.

4. “Non-partisan” TAX-EXEMPT organizations should not be going to Political War on behalf of one party.

 And check out Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center…mirror image of MMfA, right down to the 501(c)(3) status, coming from the right and purporting to expose liberal media bias.  If Fox takes down MMfA, the MRC will have to go as well.

 Except they don’t have the access and coordination with the White House that Media Matters does, and the clout and intimidation that brings when MM interacts with other media.

For anyone who’s confused about Crony Capitalism…THIS IS IT!

 Bozell’s Media Research Center is the mirror image of MMfA.  And nothing in the DC proves anything more than that a WH staffer attended the same meeting of several dozen people as did a MMfA staffer.  The DC “investigation” couldn’t even find an unnamed source that would tie the WH directly to MMfA.  About the only thing MMfA and Obama have in common is the widely publicized knowledge that both have received substantial contributions from George Soros.  Only in wingnut la-la land do any alleged facts from the DC establish “the backing of the WH.”

Not true.  I don’t know about the emails and memos, but the 90 or so page report is online and available. I skimmed through a scanned pdf of it a couple days ago. I can guess they aren’t posting the emails and memos to protect the anonymous sources, but they should at least  post  a  scan of the body of the emails, assuming they were sent to a wide distribution.  

Kristen Powers needs to stop representing the left … she is a disgrace.

BTW isn’t Kristen Powers a paid Faux News contributor it’s no surprise she sides with them.

Is there something wrong with your brain?  I’m not contradicting the Frum quote.  I’m using against you.  For it proves the narratives that typically get trotted out by the likes of you aren’t true.  Whereas it’s now been documented that’s just what the left has been doing all along.

 Except ACU, and most every other group, never had the access and coordination with the White House
that Media Matters has, and the clout and intimidation that brings when
MM interacts with other media.

For anyone who’s confused about Crony Capitalism…THIS IS IT!

Why do you want to take down fox news? Are you afraid of opposing views? Are you afraid because they Question Authority? This is not North Korea or Iran. This is America where we should have different views pointed out.

Typical left wing ideas….. shut down anyone who does not get a tingle up there leg from Obama. Call them stupid and if that does not work use the race card!

The left wing is getting so boring and  predictable

I think Fox sucks, and can’t watch it, frankly.  But I don’t like the idea of a tax-exempt organization doing Obama’s dirty work.  And all the Obamacare waivers he gave out to blue states and not red ones (Texas got hosed, natch).  Seems like an unconstitutional delegation of power from Congress to the executive.  What are the standards, that the states voted Democrat?  If you and the rest of the cool young libs would just admit that the only reason it doesn ‘t offend you is that you like the result, I’d probably forget about it.  As it stands now, my preference would be

MITT — I know.  He sucks and he’s boring.

PAUL — WH is suddenly Jurassic Park.

OBAMA — (spew)

SANTORUM — Unqualified.

(GINGRICH) — Will not vote for him.  Evil.

Gee, that’s a no brainer.  Georgey on ABC is especially helpful to the DNC, being a Democratic operative for years before joining ABC.  Being helpful would describe pundits and alleged journalists all over the place, and for either party.  Jimmy Carter’s brother was helpful to the GOP, that doesn’t mean there was any love between them or coordination.   By the way, what ever happened to Scott, did he drop off the face of the earth after the 08 election cycle?

Took me about 5 seconds to locate one.  Do your own homework for  more.  http://leestranahan.com/media-matters-deceptive-editing-on-fox-story

you don’t know what you are talking about, with the completely incorrect statement about obamacare waivers for blue and not for red states, that is complete bs.  You don’t talk like a lawyer, a lawyer would have a smarter post than that.

 Nothing the DC has produced establishes “coordination.”  Their claimed proof is a meeting that several dozen people attended, including staff from the WH and from MMfA.  If Norbit could see past his blinders, he might begin to understand why this non-story has not gotten into the media beyond Fox and DC and fellow travelers Drudge, WND, etc.

Wait, wait, wait.

We have a Soros-funded media organization, with virtual carte blanch access to the White House, a political hit list (actual list), and a successful campaign to seduce/coerce “mainstream media outlets” to report news stories through a narrative favorable to the fortunes of Obama and the Democrats.

And there’s no bias there?
Is that what the Progressives are asking rational people to believe?

There’s a difference between being an advocate for an issue and telling lies.  I know that sounds unheard of for someone conditioned to only hearing one-sided arguments.

Please go read your Dick and Jane and leave politics for someone with a brain.

I couldn’t remember the name of that one. 

Fox will completely ignore MRC, just like Fox ignored the fact that one of its biggest shareholders funded the “Ground Zero Mosque.” The sheep who watch without questioning coverage will never know MRC exists. 

media matters is far from random.

it was organized by the highest ranking dems in and out of govt.

their yearly budget is in 8 figures.

try to keep up…

I don’t.

personally, id love boring.

 You failed to note that the full memo is online at Politico (I saw it too) in a story about how Ben Smith, supposed MMfA toadie, did a story on the memo over a year ago.  DC thinks it’s news when it’s not.  It just seems to serve the purposes of their mostly unfounded accusations of MMfA coordination with the WH and the “lib’rul media” when it is really a stretch to think it shows much of anything other than a strategy plan for MMfA, not unlike the plans of any other business, profit or nonprofit.

”
take down fox news”

exactly why media matters must lose their funding.

thats  the purpose of the 501 laws

So let me get this straight: you take the fact that a Bush speechwriter confirms that Fox and the GOP work in coordination and that’s somehow supposed to undermine my belief that Fox and the GOP work in coordination.

You’re not a very good debater.

Republican think tanks and organizations meant to expose “media bias” enjoy the same tax exemption MM has. Fox ignores that those right-wing organizations exist, though. Why?

Yeah, Fox has been losing for over 10 years http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/cable-news-ratings-top-30_n_1247148.html

While media matters is kicking ass http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/15/media-matters-matters-even-less-on-the-internet/

The GOP does the exact same thing through multiple organizations. The Heritage Foundation, for example.

“And check out Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center…mirror image of MMfA, right down to the 501(c)(3) status, coming from the right and purporting to expose liberal media bias.  If Fox takes down MMfA, the MRC will have to go as well.” 

Harry Reid is a media organization?  MMfA is about the lies and biases of the conservative media.  It’s not in the business of investigating politicians, except when politicians make appearances in the media and fail to get their facts correct.

How about no.  How about you offer a suggestion to address the specific problem with this one specific abuser of the system and not one using your own problem as a tool to attack things that aren’t that work?  Yank tax exemption for charities and churches because some leftists can’t contain themselves from being unethical.  How about… no?

As with economic solutions, social ones… …the housing market… the left never misses an opportunity to use their own monumental failures as cause to make more of them.

The Politico story of last year posted only part of the memo, curiously omitting the parts dealing with some of their more questionable activities. That omission was part of the DC story.

. . . some of the best liberal thinkers. . .

The only good thinkers are objective ones.  Back in ’76 you liberals were telling us what a profound thinker Jimmy Carter was.  Are you paid to put out this drivel?

 Fascist.

 Exactly.  A true Obama lib.  Probably paid to post here.

But we’ve seen the orchestrated campaigns against news shows and advertisers by Media Matters, and meetings with White House staff and insiders were conducted on numerous occasions, not just that once.

What are rational people to think? That there’s no bias? Should we simply deny the reality that Media Matters promotes a Democratic agenda? – yet remains tax-free?

It’s like watching live Tea Party events, then watching mainstream media accounts and narratives of those events – they were abject misrepresentations and characterizations of what actually transpired.
That’s propaganda, not news.

To the partisans on either side who want to remove MMfA’s tax exemption or to take the Faux propaganda off the air…you are making an argument for the other side.  If you are conservative and want to take down MMfA, or if you are liberal and want to “destroy” Faux, you are both wrong.  The only legal weapon under the First Amendment is a boycott.  That’s why MMfA and Newshounds are promoting a Faux  boycott.  They’re not out to subvert the First Amendment.  Faux is saying without legal support that MMfA’s tax exempt status should be questioned.  And despite the claims of the wingnut propagandists, there is no smoking gun of any impropriety between or among MMfA,, the WH or anyone in the lib’rul media.  That’s why this DC-Faux non-story will accomplish nothing in the long run, except perhaps promoting sales of Brock’s book coming out next week.  DC and Faux vs. MMfA…much sound and fury signifying nothing.

The Frum quote confirms that the Republicans, or the Bush administration, did not write Fox scripts for them you idiot – rather, that they had to be reactive to story lines and lines of questioning raised by Fox.

In case you missed it, that’s the desired relationship between a free press and representative office holders.

I’m a perfectly fine debater.  You simply don’t know what things mean.

 So what?  Is the law somehow different?

Buddy,the Media Research Center is enjoying the same tax exempt status…and they don’t even bother to deal in facts.
And don’t tell me Fox don’t get talking points from there,cause they do,and Bozell is on often.
Look it up.

 Hiring private investigators (or even discussing it in a business context) to tail the opposition certainly is.

 Fascist.

 There are additional requirements.

.i wish the best for them and their goals

Me too.  Let them pay tax though.

 They sound like Hugo Chavez, don’t they?

“Thanks for tuning into Fox. Today we’re going to completely ignore some important news stories and the fact that our parent company is facing possible criminal charges for unethical phone tapping in the UK and instead we’re going to focus on one left-wing site that simply posts audio and video clips of things that embarrass the Republican party. We’re going to try to get you, the viewer, very angry about this organization, and we’re going to completely ignore the fact that Media Matters has right-wing counterparts that also enjoy tax exempt status while pushing the Republican’s political agenda…

Here now to discuss the situation in a ‘fair and balanced’ manner are three people on our payroll, two of whom are paid to tow the GOP party line and the third of which knows not to say anything too negative or we’ll drop her high-paying job with us. 

Okay, let’s get started… First, an objective question: should the government stop Media Matters from spreading information about Fox on the taxpayer’s dime?”

So let’s laugh at them while they exercise their constitutional rights.

“Tea Pot Dome scandal?  What’s with your conspiracy theories, crazy man!” – today’s left

No shame.  Always diversion.

 That’s no mistake.  He sounds like David Axelrod.

 Cognitive dissonance.

FOS fascist.

 FOS fascist.

 Says the tool most likely paid to post here.  How else could you explain his drivel?  Maybe he’s an ADD boy with a liberal mom.

Everybody with half a brain knows this a preemptive strike right before the MMFA’s book on Fox News comes out next week.These people at Fox are not subtle.
It’s pretty weak though.
MMFA deals with facts and videos,this is mostly gossiping and old news about memos.
I dunno what they expect to achieve with this,but I can tell you if the MRC can retain a tax-exempt status,MMFA can sure as hell retain it too.

 Exactly. 

Which law?

 His daddy is a Democrat party apparatchik.

Why does every Koch organization, which by the way writes policy.

 see Cato.org
http://www.cato.org/pubs/handbook/issue.php?congress=111

Handbook of Policymakers, 2009, it’s the regressive play book from defunding NPR to sellling off federal lands. All they have to do, and have done is copy and paste right into a bill.

Fascist.

There are many abuses of Tax Exempt status. To address just one would be dismiss the others. I understand that this doesn’t support your argument but those are the facts. What I proposed would also apply to unions, environmentalist groups and yes even Planned Parenthood. So my proposal would benefit your cause more than you would realize, as well as taking away talking points from both sides.

I thought you were all for tax reform? Isn’t our tax code too complicated? How would simplifying the code and shift the burden to organizations rather than individuals be a failure? If more people had more of their own money that is a good thing right?

 Send over some Obama brown shirts and just wreck the place.

Exactly.

 He didn’t work that hard.  It was a cut and paste job from a Soros’ office memo.

Hey, let’s bring the biggest story of the day to the top! – Beck’s “We’re All Catholics” Movement

How about as a lead-off mantra:
“First they came for your taxes; Now They’ve Come For Your SOUL!”

 Make ‘em all pay tax.  Bullshit should not be tax-exempt.

 On tax-exempt status.  I haven’t a clue about that area.

 cnick, this was in the Austin American Statesman recently:

http://www.statesman.com/news/texas/federal-government-rejects-texas-insurance-waiver-2130044.html?cxtype=rss_ece_frontpage

 Question authority?  They were Bush’s biggest cheerleaders!!!!!!  When did they question them?

Pundits are often like lawyers and politicians: what they say depends on who’s paying them. She’s on the payroll. 

Fox must be nervous.  Turning up the hate machine!!!!!

That’s one way of looking at it.

That’s the problem I have with what Fox is saying. They don’t actually talk about how Media Matters the status of a non-profit. They just say they shouldn’t be tax exempt.

LOL honestly dude I pride myself on some clever posts. But you just humbled me with your wit. Classic just plain classic:)

I like irony..good stuff.

yea she’s lost it. Colmes still does an ok job when he is on, which isn’t much anymore. Juan  Williams has also lost it. The Fox machine has swallowed their brains, like that creature at the end of Starship Troopers.

WAAAAAHHHHHHH

THEY TAPE WHAT WE SAY AND REBROADCAST IT SO NORMAL PEOPLE CAN SEE THE CRAZINESS WE SAY

WAAAAAAAA WHEN WILL THEY STOP RECORDING OUR PROGRAMS AND REPLAY THE THINGS WE SAY AND WRITE IT DOWN SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THE WORDS

Because it’s wrong.

The Fox Fair & Balanced news model comprehensively uncovered by this witty post. Thanks!

Could you imagine the whining if a tax-exempt organization was trying to take down ANY of the liberal media outlets? 

News flash:  This is not Russia and there will be no Pravda

LMAO….   Jimm Carter looks GREAT compared to Obama!!

Bozell deals in facts and he’s not hiring P.I.’s to “investigate” the personal lives of liberal media members.  Hell, all he’s got to do is gather their daily material (which amazingly all sounds the same) and post it/discuss it.  He doesn’t twist any words, just reports on the similarity between the WH talking points and the liberal media’s talking points.  Pretty easy if you ask me, but I’m glad someone is pointing it out.

Does Journo-list ring a bell anyone?

Who cares who questions it?  It’s a free country (or at least it WAS)

Exactly.  It’s a free country, just don’t violate the conditions of being tax-exempt

Wingnut.

Great advertising for Fox….  Keep it up!!

love how hey both dropped off the conversation once I proved them wrong! typical! 

Exactly.  Free country.  If you don’t like it, move to Venezuela / Russia / North Korea / Iran / Cuba, etc…..

Just get the hell out!

So i guess that eliminates yourself …”cdick”

Bye bye Media Matters!!!

The Media Research Center has a working relationship with the WH?  The MRC directs their reportage based on constructed strategies with the WH and like minded think tanks?  the MRC speaks of having need of domestic enemies in order to energize a political base?  The MRC has a campaign of sabotage?  The MRC coordinates boycott campaigns on advertisers if a media outlet doesn’t reflect their narratives?  The MRC targets regional news people for harassment as a method of intimidation? The MRC hires private investigators to smear (at the very least) opinion makers and executives?  The MRC has a direct line to friendly media outlets and its staffers admit to basically writing their scripts or columns?  They do these things knowing they’re violating both the spirit and the letter of their tax exempt status?

No.  The Media Research Center throws up clips of progressives saying something foolish, ignorant, stupid, asinine or massively hypocritical and editorializes with “hey, check out this progressive and the stupid thing he just said.”

Stop with the false equivalencies.  No conservative media organization is funded with millions of tax free $ and has tax-exempt status while having the backing of the WH.

No Fox, you see, Media Matter’s role is to expose bias and falsehoods in the media and the fact that 90% of their articles are about Fox News is vastly more reflective of Fox’s inherent bias than Media Matter’s. I hope this clears things up.

Why does the alternative have to be North Korea or Iran? Why not Sweden, Canada or Australia?

That’s sweet, the way you contradict yourself in the space of 20 words. Very cute.

He’s also not colluding with politicians. That’s the 501(c)(3) no-no.

 Ask that again, only with the writers.

 Uh, Mediaite? The Daily Caller? Congress? The IRS?

No one’s ignoring their existence. It’s the collusion with politicians and political parties that’s a problem. And the rest is just stuff that’s good for people to know about them.

The only way you’ll ever silence Fox is to beat them. You’ve got a long way to go and nobody up to the task.

 By who?

They can’t seem to understand the question or the implications of it. Knee-jerk “They do it tooooooooooo!!!!!!” is all you’re going to get.

Last I heard, Frum was whining that he couldn’t get a gig on Fox.

 OK, you’re a parody, right? You can’t be for real.

your not for real

What makes you think that being an economic speechwriter for a year puts you in the middle of the inner workings of media strategizing? The inner circle doesn’t get booted after a year on the job.

@PabIo:disqus  true, too many dolts in the USA 

But I’m not advertising for Fox.  They’re only one news organization among dozens of outlets of information which I resource to inform myself.  What I’m trying to do is bring to light for some of our liberal friends Mediaite’s peculiar fascination to frame a story about Media Matters For America in the only terms propagandized simpletons can understand it. The partisan lens of a false constructed narrative.

Well Ailes and his guys are glock men, so why not, let everyone be well armed.

I can never tell if the good majority can’t or won’t.  Perhaps MSNBC hasn’t broken it down for ‘em yet.  But they’re waiting on copy from Media Matters For America.  And THEY’re waiting on the next conference call with Obama.  Obama will figure it all out for ‘em.

 What are you talking about?  There are plenty of tax-exempt organizations devoted to that task.  Media Research Council, Accuracy in Media, Newsbusters.

Now, those organizations lack the kind of commitment to facts and evidence that MMFA possesses, but there’s no whining.

Not a chance…Fox, as reported, has started to move to the middle away from the far-right as they can’t take the heat.

Right – it’s about two things: 1. An effort to answer this:

http://action.mediamatters.org/fox_effect 

without actually answering it at all (because Murdoch & Ailes simply can’t answer it directly); and 2. The fact that Murdoch’s U.S. empire is about to take a big hit as the U.K. scandal moves into the courtrooms. Murdoch is so desperate to hang onto his Sky TV licenses, he’s decided to throw the managers of his newspaper empire there to the wolves. There’s no doubt that this strategy, like all the strategies Murdoch has tried before, is going to fail in the long run, but in the long run Rupert will die & the NewsCorp empire will get out of dead-tree journalism & stick with TV & cable properties. The open questions now are a) whether the U.K. scandal will reach up to the Murdoch family, in terms of Rupert or James or both getting indicted, & b) how extensively the rot has reached into their U.S. holdings, & whether the Fox brand can be saved. 

People who aren’t following the U.K. scandal just aren’t going to understand howly deeply paranoid & strategic this all is. To me, the best coverage is coming from the source that first broke the story, The Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media 

In the end, which should come within the next couple of years, the NewsCorp corporate investor base is going to boot the Murdochs out of control – & that’s going to have a knock-on effect on FNC.

Because the Murdochs are in huge trouble & are desperate.

They’ll win it simply because, especially in an election year, there’s next to nothing this Know Nothing Do Nothing Rrrr controlled House can do to take it down. It doesn’t have the internal scandals that ACORN suffered from, the Rrrr controlled House committees are inept (Look at Issa’s Oversight Committee, which does nothing but issue threats & hold noisy unproductive hearing.), the House is going to change party control after November, & Obama’s re-election means he can veto any direct attacks on liberal & progressive tax-exempt ‘think tanks’, like CAP (Think Progress) & MMFA. 

Plus they’re correct on the facts. That often doesn’t mean as much as it should, but it will do so in this case.  

But that’s beside the point. This is a put-up job for Ailes to create a distraction for the Murdochs as the NewsCorp scandal moves into the U.S. from the U.K. The first court summons on the Scotland Yard investigation come due in May of this year, and that’s when the first sets of charges are going to be made public. 38 people, mostly from Murdoch papers like The NotW & The Sun but also several corrupted police officers, are due appear in the dock, & they’ll be facing, cumulatively, well over a hundred separate criminal charges, with more to come. It’s impossible to stop the bleeding from that ending up before the U.S., resulting in civil court cases, FBI investigations, Congressional hearings &, most important to NewsCorp shareholders, FCC license & license renewal hearings.

I find the accusation that an organization like Media Matters is out to turn the US into Iran or N. Korea just silly.  Look, there’s a difference between an opposing view and promoting misinformation.  MM has compiled instance after instance in which Fox has done the latter.  To campaign against that does not make them totalitarian. 

Moreover the goal is not to make an outfit like Fox News outlawed.  That would be a violation of free speech.  The goal is to inform people about the misinformation so as to discourage them from viewing.  It’s to discourage advertisers from purchasing air time.  Achieving this goal would either require that Fox either change (i.e. report more accurately) or die (i.e. go bankrupt).

I will admit that the line between what’s merely a point-of-view and what’s misinformation can some times be hazy.  But it’s critical.  And it’s one that Media Matters makes and you don’t. 

NO, Fox News is a target because Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican party, and because Fox News lies regularly.  

If you are a lawyer, I am a rocket scientist.  

Duhnotcleaver, what about my freedom of speech?  Don’t I have the right to try to take Fox News off the air? 

 The Media Research Council  had a working relationship with the Bush White House. 

Constitutional rights?  Usually a lawyer understands the first amendment in the constitution.  I think you are either a really bad lawyer or a typical lying conservative. 

Media Matters deals in the truth, not propaganda.  Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican party.  

 Of course your example is in itself deceptively edited. Nice try loser. 

Progressives say: We should all play by the same rules!!

Conservatives say: Fine.  Do that then.  Here’s a clear case of you violating the rules.

Progressives say: Change the rules!!

Maybe Fox News should question The Heartland Institute’s tax exempt status. 

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/16/science/earth/in-heartland-institute-leak-a-plan-to-discredit-climate-teaching.html?hp

Maybe toistoy is actually a conservative posing as a progressive?  Genius.

Actually that’s democracy.  You have it backward. 

Your stupid.  It has nothing to do with your race.  

You are crazy. Even if all you say were true, Fox’s problem seems to be MM records the silly shit they say and rebraodcast it. Strange thing to complain about. They could try quitting the mad stuff they say. MM will then have nothing to say about them, everyone will lose interest. End of story. Bit funny to gripe about an internet outfit while bragging to be the most powerful thing since God.

 Where is the links to the memo’s so they can be viewed BY ANYONE?

Other media org.s post actual documents for the public to review SO WHERE ARE THE E-MAILS AND THE DOCUMENTS?

SHOW A LINK

Mediaite links to proof.
NY Times showed the Pentagon Papers
Republicans had the Dress.
The prosecutor who failed to get Cheney had his notes to show us.
The prosecutor who got Duke Cunningham had his notes to show us.
CNN shows us proof of any claim they make.

It seems when Daily Caller makes a claim they have no proof to back it up, at least Breitbart gets caught selectively/deceptively editing but has video to prove he is a lier,

Daily Caller claimed to have proof that electric cars polluted more than gasoline engine cars, but no back up to that claim, just an alleged study in China claim and no documentation.

Daily Caller claims to have proof that media matters for america directly coordinates with the White House but does not show us this proof.

 Where are the links to the PART OF A MEMO? An actual image/reproduction of the memo.

I went there and found no back up to actualling having the memos in their possesion.

Mediaite never does, never heard the Daily Caller do it, and the IRS obviously never does it. It’s just Fox.

Okay, I question your tax records then.

How?

 Conservatives say:  We shouldn’t be giving tax payer money to organizations we don’t like!

Progressives say: Okay, no more Tax exempt status!

Conservatives say: No!! We should still give them to organizations we do like!

colluding with the WH is a violation that no news organization should ignore,the question is why aren’t the other “news” outlets informing the public of what their elected officials are doing? This is why FOX rules!!

So,what would Stalin replace FOX with???? TASS? Be real!! FOX is’nt doing anything out of the ordinary,MM is.

It’s not a battle when the White House, 98% of the media outlets and Hollywood are collaborating on “talking points”.  That’s the genesis of this entire story!!!

But you won’t read it in the NY Times now will ya? 

“ALL THE NEWS THAT’S SH%T TO PRINT”

Ummm, one would expect the #1 cable news channel to be “organized” as you put it.

I’ll tell you what organization is: it’s the collaboration of 98% of the media outlets with the White House’s talking points.  Talk about sheeple, sh*t….

Boring, predictable, but most of all:  D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E !!!

Not true.  MM wants to “take down” Fox News and is willing to use their tax-exempt status to do it.

This is America.  Opposing views are EVERYWHERE.  Get used to it!!  (or move to another country)

Nahhh, I don’t think a conservative like Ailes will be using the Nazi-esque tactics of the left anytime soon. 

Liberals sure like to accuse others of what they’re guilty of!!  I find that so fascinating (in a weird sociopathic kind of way)

Once or twice, but then I realized that Media Matters DOESN’T matter and this whole story uncovers their scandalous, thuggish ways and proves they DO NOT MATTER!!

Ha!!  More liberal talking points handed out by the White House??

Funny, because the exact same posts appear on other blogs in ALMOST THE EXACT SAME WORDING!!

Thanks for proving the Daily Caller’s report to be true. 

How deliciously ironic :)

Fine.  I’m a business owner who employs 32 people and pay all my corporate and personal taxes.

I question your intelligence.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much!! 

(you have REAL problems with FOX, don’t you?)

Typical liberal thuggery…..

Waaaah, waaaaah, waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!  You sound like an infant who needs a nap….

THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY – we can do whatever we want as long as it’s lawful.  (Media Matters might just be in a little trouble here)

This whole blog is such great free advertising for FOX News!!

In reply to Rev_Cocoa below: 

Stop trying to deflect the fact that Media Matters has been caught with their “tax-exempt” pants down.

THEY are the ones admitting to collusion with other media outlets on the White House’s talking points, not anyone else.

THEY are the ones plotting to possibly hire private investigators to follow FOX News Anchors, Commentators and even guests in order to dig up some dirt, not someone else.

THEY are the ones saying they “must take Fox News down”, not the other way around.

Thanks for the chuckle.

david r, at least you realize that there are TONS of other news / media outlets and, since you don’t like FOX, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WATCH IT!!

Our freedoms make it very simple, really…..

Hmmm, “working relationship” sounds just a tad more benign than what is going on here with Media Matters.

Sorry, wasn’t singling you out….  This whole blog is such GREAT advertising for FOX.  As if their ratings could go any higher!!

Did you find these links all on your own?  Or did the White House spoon feed these as well?

yeah exactly, no response with substance, just insults. Typical….

trouble for what?stop fantasizing..

And who the hell are you?  Oh yeah, that’s right, an anonymous internet commenter.  Uh-huh.

HA!!!   LMAO if you are really THAT stupid!!

They’re preparing your payroll check SatanicHamster 
(“give that man a raise, he’s really doing great work on those blogs”)

Oh puh-leeze.  Media Matters would certainly look meek IF IT WEREN’T joined and aided by the other 98% of non-Fox media outlets!!

Get your weak  head out of your deep ass…

Can you read dude?

Ummm, that’s already been tried and didn’t work….

Pay no attention to MrPorkChops, he’s probably using other usernames and avatars to ‘like’ his own stuff and give the illusion that everyone agrees with him.  Once again, deliciously ironic, considering the Media Matters / White House / other liberal media outlets collusion story…

Sorry, but Media Matters does NOT equal places of worship.  (Althoughyou might worship them)

Idiot.

Awww, they’re just bitter because the whole OWS thingy isn’t working out.

Your donation will be used as bail money for the MM execs.  Especially their head guy (sorry, name escaped me) who has been reported to be a bigtime recreational drug user and to have mental issues.

Gee, who’da thunk it?

Brent Bozell’s outfit points out the media’s liberal slant by stating facts and juxtaposing DAILY the stories so similar to the White House’s talking points that it CANNOT be a coincence.

Brent Bozell’s outfit is not the one with the internal e-mails (how stupid are these guys?) stating that they “must take down Fox”.

The left is so desperate right now.  With gas prices likely to reach $5/gallon by summer, they know BHO is going to have a hard time getting re-elected….

Don’t know.  He was such a train wreck, IMO.

The only thing Media Matters is winning is a new NON-tax-exempt status.

To say Media Matters is fair and balanced means that you don’t understand the breaking news on them.

Ummm, I think he was being facetious.

david r, that was a good one :)

well there is room for the poison (Fox) and the antidote (MM)

I’m guessing that lawyers have the documents. 

What I find funny is that several current (and former) Media Matters employees have spoken out about their fearless leader’s drug use and mental issues.  Perhaps he could use some more of our tax dollars to go to rehab in Malibu.

No.

I am aren’t I. Maybe one day you’ll get paid as well.

Yeah, I’d like to take out my competitors’ businesses, but the way you do that is by creating more of a demand for your own product or service. 

Took me two readings to get you weren’t talking about my post being advertising.  It may well be that the impact of their reportage will give a boost for Fox’s ratings.  But in another vein, it’s a lie to put it in terms that they have.  This is a story about Media Matters For America, and their singular lack of response to contradict the Daily Caller series, but Mediaite has only sought to present this story in terms of how Fox has responded to it, as if to suggest that the playing field is equal.  It’s not equal, not political.  What this is is wrongdoing.  Tax breaks for political hatchet men & saboteurs of a free press.

Mediaite’s reportage thus far has shown they’re part and parcel of MMFA’s for-hire anti-Fox political strategy.  It’s quite disgusting to see the tactics given full illumination, but for the cockroaches to stay right where they are in the middle of the room.

Emma is missing the point – while a very interesting part of this story was about Media Matters’ internal strategies to take down Fox, as well potential issues with their tax-exempt status, the really BIG story is how various liberal media outlets (including Media Matters) are receiving their talking points from the White House.  Everyone involved looks stupid.

No protesting here.

(you have a REAL problem with REALITY, don’t you?)

sadly i agree

are you that blind ?

lies

If the preemptive strike thingy is true, would you have a problem with that?  Knowing that most every non-FOX media outlet receives their orchestrated talking points from the F’ing White House?

Breaking news:  Obama taxes bullshit – Liberals go broke.  Story at 11:00

Okay, question it. It’s higher than yours.

HA!!  you’ve been sucking up too much helium Mr. Balloon…

tee-hee

So you don’t like them. They are a liberal outfit and like Obama. Very shocking.

Nice try.  Even if it WERE true at FOX News (only one organization), one could reasonably still be SHOCKED by the sheer numbers of media “news” outlets sticking to the script that is the White House talking points.

The smell of desperation.

Oh no, Bob, the issue is DEFINITELY MEDIA BIAS with some possible tax-exempt statuse rule breaking going on.

You’re into the conspiracy thingy huh….ok.
No, actually I believe Fox is shooting itself in the foot with that bs..
They make themselves look stupid and vindictive.
But since they’re a bunch of unprofessional morons,I’m not surprised.

Oh, then Media Matters should hire a P.I. to follow her every move.

This is not a rebuttal.  You’ve just disregarded my point and  reasserted NorCalSister’s (misguided) point.

“Get used to it!” As though my (or Media Matters’) issue is that the fact that there are differences of opinion. 

Someone who wants to combat lying and distortion and deception is not anti-free speech.

What are you talking about? Please find the doppelganger posts. I’d love to read them but I know they don’t exist. 

I’ll keep checking in, waiting for your response. 

Media Matters is not a news organization. Look into it. It’s a political research group. It says so on its site. You don’t seem to know what you’re talking about, mostly because you’re getting your info from Fox and right-wing sources only.
