hahahahahahahaha. Has Juan forgotten what network he works for?

While Fox alienates people they seem odd. E.g. Muslims, Latinos, smart people, middle class people, working class people, Gays and Lesbians, etc.

While they tolerate, crooks and liars, the crazies, the man ones, the stupid and ignorant, the psychos, wall street thieves (salesmen), etc.

Being in business to make money via advertising or selling a product isn’t the only kind of business. Media Matters is basically a lobbying activist group. They currently push one agenda very hard and have no interest in facts, fairness, or educating. They exist to attack those who dare not agree with them. There’s no reason to EVER tax payer fund them by letting them lobby tax free. Soros can donate another million or so to pay their share of the taxes they want the rest of us to have to pay.

media matters, we pay no taxes, but you should

skyfet, if all the people you listed don’t watch Fox, how are they being alienated?

And with many Fox News shows now targeting Media Matters, it seems like a full-scale war between both sides has officially begun.

Well we know who’s gonna win this war. Not even the Whitehouse won a war with FOX. Will you liberals never learn!?

What did that one guy say to the question about why he robs banks?

Yeah, I think (I know) this applies to Fox News.

Is there a petition online to get rid of their tax-exemption?

If so, send to ALL CONTACTS – Viral the thing because this group is a real Soros-funded gutter-scum operation of the Takeover-the-Government Left!.

Sorry, guy but FOX waged a war Against Candidate Obama and guess what. He won.

And in this war what do you make of the Glenn Beck casualty? Hmm.

Um Beck wasn’t fired. But I know it makes you libs feel better to think that he was so have at it! And I would refer you, Barry, to the study that showed that FOX was the most fair of ANY network during the election, but don’t let the facts get in your way.

Hey libbies, any comment to the news that the hacking of FOX was done by liberals? Anyone, anyone?

Ask the Muslims about how they fell about Juan Williams, saying he doesn’t feel comfy around them.
Ask the Gays how they feel about Fox campaign against them.
Ask the Latinos about the constant jabs which is targeted at the immigrants.

If by your logic of watching them is true, it means Mediamatters is also supporting Fox by watching them regularly. Nice logic. Watching a psycho lie and pointing out the lies is not the same as supporting.

Listen to O’reiley and get back to me. The only one at odds, well one of those is the owner himself (Murdoch). But he is an immigrant, so I recognized the bias.

For the past 2 years or so, I’ve been following numerous foreign media outlets, in order to get a more fair and balanced view, of current events in the US. As an American, I am 100% embarrassed that the majority of American media outlets, have evolved into full-time political activists. How did this happen? I have no interest at all, in following any news source, simply because a source tells me what I want to hear, as oposed to telling the truth. I prefer to hear all sides, in order to form my own opinions. When the far left, especially on political blogs, actually brag and believe that they are all ‘Einsteins’, because their favorite political source tells them what they want to hear, as opposed to the actual truth, how dumb-assed can they be? Talk about simple-minded idiots.

As Corbert so famously and accurately pointed out on several occasions: Truth has such a liberal bias.

Barry Bonds said:

And in this war what do you make of the Glenn Beck casualty? Hmm.

Except post election a review was done and found Fox was roughly 50/50 on positive to negative stories on Obama, all while the other network were something like 75/25 negative towards McCain. Just because you watched or heard about Hannity’s show doesn’t mean the whole network piled on Obama. The race looked roughly 50/50 until the financial crisis hit and McCain ran around like a chicken with his head cut off while Obama acted like a leading Senator and presumed President. Obama’s behavior the last few weeks of the campaign was fantastic, McCain’s was embarrassing. If McCain hadn’t imploded on the financial issues it might have been a closer race, but hard to tell. There was a lot of excitement around Obama’s campaign but the only excitement on the McCain side was for Palin. McCain showing he was out of touch on the financial issues was a death blow.

All I know is according to Redeye they rub lotion on each other’s backs and George Soros is mean to them if they miss a shift.

I’ll never quite understand the disconnect on why Militant Atheists are OK with Militant Islam, but want even the mildest traces of anything Jesus to be wiped from the earth.

I’m an agnostic, and don’t really trust any scripture at all, and I’m really not sure how these militant atheists expect homosexuality and The Shari’ah to co-exist.

Mark over at Newscorpse has 2 terrific articles on the Fux freaks attack on Media Matters.. I though his comments were right on point and I couldn’t make them any better:

“Obviously Fox is scared. They are afraid that Media Matters’ practice of documenting Fox’s own words and pictures is having a detrimental effect on the network. They are afraid that the successful campaign against Glenn Beck will continue to reveal that Fox News is a bastion of lies, racism, and partisan propaganda. And so Fox has embarked on a mission to destroy Media Matters with all the weight of their vast media empire….

“Because Fox News is scared. They are scared of the truth. They are scared that more people will discover that they are a network that peddles garbage and partisan tripe. And as an enterprise with zero journalistic credibility, Fox News has good reason to be afraid. An organization like Media Matters that merely records and replays the lies and bias on Fox News is certain to be their worst enemy.”

Yeah Roy, FOX seems terrified! NOT!

if you read skyfet’s posts in mickey rooney’s “breakfast at tiffanys” voice it makes more sense

What a pathetic clown, Juan Williams!

Media Matters DOCUMENTS with clips, both video and sound, the garbage spewed by the wingnutz, most of the time without any editorializing.

On the times when Media Matters writes articles, they are also supported by academics on the topics discussed.

Like you, Juan Williams and Billdo – soiling yourselves at the sight of anyone on Muslim garb -

What, the 9-11 terrorists where wearing “Muslim garb,” you morons!

Those idiots at MMFA wanted a war and now FNC seems ready to take it to them.

Media Matters serves the same function as a decoder ring found in cereal boxes. Fox says they’re against people entering the country illegally. But Media Matters translates that into “We hate all immigrants.” If it weren’t for Media Matters decoding, people would never know.

How about this one:

Magistrate Judge Daniel Knowles III sentenced Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan each to two years probation, a fine of $1,500 and 75 hours of community service during their first year of probation.

James O’Keefe, as leader of the group and famous for posing as a pimp in ACORN office videos, received three years of probation, a fine of $1,500 and 100 hours of community service.

Each of the defendants made a statement to the court. They said they did not intend to commit a crime They also apologized for the inconvenience they caused security workers at the federal building.

O’Keefe said “I take full responsibility for our decision to visit Sen. Landrieu’s office.” Referring to their decision to pose as telephone workers in order to investigate complaints that office staff members allegedly ignored constituents’ phone calls, he said “I should have used other means.”

Application for Recognition of Exemption

To apply for recognition by the IRS of exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Code, use Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption, and its instructions. The application must be complete and accompanied by the appropriate user fee. See Application Process for a step-by-step review of what an organization needs to know and to do in order to apply for recognition by the IRS of tax-exempt status. Frequently asked questions about applying for exemption generally, and Form 1023 specifically, are also available. You may also want to take our on-line mini-course about applying for exemption.

The organization should also request an employer identification number, even if it does not have any employees. See Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, and its related instructions to learn how to obtain an EIN. You may also obtain an EIN via telephone, by calling 1-800-829-4933, or by applying online.

Except for churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and public charities whose annual gross receipts are normally less than $5,000, organizations will not be treated as described in section 501(c)(3) unless they notify the IRS by applying for recognition of section 501(c)(3) status. Generally, organizations required to apply for recognition of exemption must notify the Service within 27 months from the date of their formation to be treated as described in section 501(c)(3) from the date formed. When the IRS determines that an organization qualifies for exemption under section 501(c)(3), it will also be classified as a private foundation, unless it meets the requirements to be treated as a public charity.

A charitable organization must make available for public inspection its approved application for recognition of exemption with all supporting documents and its last three annual information returns. The organization must provide copies of these documents upon request without charge (other than a reasonable fee for reproduction and copying costs). Penalties are provided for failure to comply with these requirements. For more information, see our frequently asked questions, the final regulations published in Internal Revenue Bulletin 1999-17, or Disclosure Requirements.

I get it Skippy. While you’re outraged at both the Fox and the Nation of Islam stand on gays, you choose to only criticize Fox for it, and mention the others as little as possible. Or not at all.

For your edification, the FULL tape was always on Breitbart – it’s YOUR Left-Wing Media that missed it…and then COVERED-UP their ineptitude by refusing to report that indeed, the full tape was always on Beitbart!

As for media matters, there’s just so many indictments of this ACORN-like tool of the Revolutionary-Left, that you can find them easily enough on your own.

I already said I don’t give a flying F if Muslims or buyble thumpers believe THEIR religion tells them to punish Gays.

The issue with Fux is they are a wingnut delivery channel. Not NEWS, but POLITICAL PROPAGANDA.
This has been proven over and over by Media Matters and other blogs, even by the Daily Show. With video.

I don’t know what the IRS basis is. What I do know, is that Fux has been going after MM for years, and Media Matters is not anywhere as slimy as Fux or some other wingnutz like Braysfarts or Pat Robertson.

Dems just make it so easy when one earlier post can be referenced over-and-over again to crush the predictable responses of tortured logic and ad hominem rantings coming from the Socialist-Left.

An indoctrinated mind is a terrible thing to waste; set yourself free, Freak:

The definition of “The GOP” is amorphous at the present moment.

The Tea Party sentiment – and not the myopic media depiction of it – of less-intrusive government, and more personal responsibility, is advocated by a controlling majority of voters in the country.

All Tea Party candidates have to do next year is to bring that unifying philosophy to the GOP.

Obama turned out to be a shill for the status-quo, but instead of the Lincoln Bedroom, he paid-off supporters with private auto companies, and the like.

How’s Wall Street making out under Obama?
How are you making out?

He brought corruption to a higher level, with the same gaggle of people in charge that Bush had!

you stated your opinion on okeefe’s tax exemption, but media matters you have no opinion lol

I don’t know what the law states but I tend to agree that if you change your mission from neutral fact checking to going after one political view, and a particular network, then your tax exempt status needs to be looked at.

That said, Hey Fox, stop with the whining. You’ve spent years going after individuals and haven’t shown much concern for honest debate. Seems like a good example of what Jon S pointed out recently. When they do it it’s telling the whole story, when someone calls them out suddenly they’re the victim and those other guys are racist , and political activists, and mean, and unfair, and self loathing, and whatever. It’s pathetic that they call themselves news.

I think the idea is to not play the same old “I’m only going to attack the people I don’t like, and let the people I do get off on a technicality, even if they _might_ be wrong too.” game, picking the same old tired fights, making the same old tired sweeping generalizations.

Liberal Tormentor – tormenting liberals with logic and facts since 1972

I said I don’t know how O’Keefe got his tax exemption. I said maybe you can be a scumbag and still qualify, maybe the IRS doesn’t take that into consideration.

By the way, Billdo is always whining about “smears from the far left (Media Matters)” when they capture and show clips of wingnutz idiocy.

That’s sooooo unfair!

Juan made an interesting leap which led to the baseless charge that M.M. is “trying to ruin” people’s lives. If holding people accountable for word’s and deeds leads to ruination, it is absurd to blame those who are public witness.

26 May 2010

James O’Keefe, as leader of the group and famous for posing as a pimp in ACORN office videos, received three years of probation, a fine of $1,500 and 100 hours of community service.

I don’t know HOW someone in PROBATION can receive a tax exemption from the IRS.

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.

Fox sewer republician propagandists, fake journalists, liars and sophists shitting little green apples because they are being called out for the bare-faced lie that they are a part of a news organization.

From the voice of experience…

Ho hum…. the latest FOX NEWS marching orders. “Who should we lamely attempt to take down this week”?

Guys, if you are going to attempt to, you might want to bring out heavier hitters than the lightweights, Kilmeade and the “liberal” FOX lap dog, Juan Williams. Gotta love this quote from Williams, too. “They are digging up dirt on people. They’re trying to ruin people’s lives and reputation because they disagree with their politics. ”

mmmm, sounds like a familiar news organization we know who has long practiced on-air character assassination, all under the lame banner, “fair and balanced”.

Lame, lame, lame, more of the same, same, same.

- Fox News is the most trusted news source in America.
- Bill O’Reilly is America’s most trusted newsman

A bitter pill for Progressives…

Juan said: “They used to monitor the media and point out things that were wrong, false, inappropriate, which is fine, but what you are hearing from Ari Rabin-Havt [Executive Vice President of Media Matters] is that really now they’re involved in opposition research.”

Fine? When, ever, was http://www.mediamatters.org “fine” as far as Fox News goes? Never. O’Reilly, Hannity, all the boys, have been after it for years, and they advise his listeners to not go there, etc. Yet, mostly, all MM does is provide transcripts and links to incidences of media bias. Sure, they see Fox as the worst offender, and that is their focus, but truth is always a defense to these kind of charges.

Wondering how you can be in political opposition to a fair and balanced network?

Everything you have said is baseless Greg with no facts or proof Madia Matters is smear website that can be sued for there out right lies they shouldn’t be tax exement just religious groups and groups that have agenda like, The PTC since that is a far right outfit that lies about broadcast networks with there baseless claims and there mind in the gutter.

When Fox speaks against illegally entering the country, and Media Matters says the term ‘illegal’ is ‘loaded’, that seems more like mind reading than reporting bias.

I am starting to think that Fox News does not like Media Matters. This is a developing story.

Your a far left kool-aid drinker that think for themselfs Madia Matters lies about Fox News which is a fact. Your propagandists which you don’t know what it means and there are no fake journalists on Fox News so your claims that there is a lie. So your the bare-faced liar not Fox so have facts or proof and don’t be a sheep for far left and taking your news from Media Matters that doesn’t know what the truth is.

What a pathetic clown, Juan Williams!

Media Matters DOCUMENTS with clips, both video and sound, the garbage spewed by the wingnutz, most of the time without any editorializing.

On the times when Media Matters writes articles, they are also supported by academics on the topics discussed.

Like you, Juan Williams and Billdo – soiling yourselves at the sight of anyone on Muslim garb -

What, the 9-11 terrorists where wearing “Muslim garb,” you morons!

Juan Williams gets paid by Fox; you get paid by MMFA. The difference is at least an extra digit on the end of his paycheck, before the decimal point.

I guess Fox aren’t big fans of the truth.

Media matters takes direct quotes from faux liars and points out how they lie and distort. Their mission statements under which they operate as a non profit distinctly states this is their objective. If you don’t like media matters, show where they lie. Mediate comment section is filled with bone headed remarks by ignorant teabaggers who have been sent here to lie, misinform, distort, and disparage. You cannot find one instance where Media Matters has EVER lied so what you do is call names and write little children. You’re afraid of the truth and that is why you want to silence anyone who dares question the lies of faux. Why is Jon Stweart considered the most trusted name in the news? I feel sorry for you morons.

Juam Williams is a pos as is everyone else employed by Faux news.

While your argument is persuasive in some language… I speak English. Please translate and I will be happy to respond!

The truth hurts. It makes people angry. It drives people mad. ESPECIALLY liars. Media Matters for America (MM) simply tells the truth. MM points out the misinformation, flat-out lies, and fills in the missing information spewed by right-wingers, be they Fox News or hate radio or whoever. Most of the people who complain about MM are hardcore, right-wing a**holes who have NEVER even visited the MM Web site. It must be too much reading for them.

MM takes, for instance, one of the countless questionable statements of Rush Limbaugh. MM then will research Rush’s statement, verify the statement against factual sources, verify if Rush told the whole story (and if not include what he left out), document instances where Rush has been hypocritical on the subject or has in some other way flip-flopped on the subject, and point out any attempted manipulations by Rush. MM then prepares the report in detail, posts it on the Web, and lets the viewers decide. MM REPORTS and YOU DECIDE!

Republicans *HATE* what MM does because MM uncovers countless right-wing lies and manipulations. It used to be that the network news departments would do this kind of investigative journalism. The networks don’t do this as much anymore so MM came along to do it for them. They do a brilliant job of it, and they perform a MUCH needed public service.

Media Matters IS NOT going to lose its tax exempt status. This is just some Fox News designed empty meme. You see, if Republicans CAN’T bully their way to getting what they want, they play the victim card. If playing the victim doesn’t get them what they want, they try to shut-up their “opposition” by any means (no matter how low, dirty, or illegal) possible. The latter is what they think they can do with MM. Or at least what Fox News has them thinking they can do.

ALL THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO DO IS TELL THE TRUTH! Then voila! MM would have nothing to report and would go away. But since we all *know* that the Republicans could not exist if they told the truth, we will continue to have a great organization like Media Matters for America who will hold Republicans and other right-wingers accountable.

“ruins peoples’ lives?’ Juan? Whose lives have been ruined by Media Matters? MM skewers the Fox propaganda machine and you don’t like it – in Russian I say tough shitski. If MM is lying, slandering, libeling – then BRING SUIT.

It’s called the Media Matters Obama/Soros Regime “shake down”. Fox isn’t part of the State Run Media team as is lame street media. The White House says jump and the State Run Media says how high. You don’t dare question Obama or have any negatives against him or you’re “on the list”. Journalism is pretty scary stuff these days, if you want to even call it journalism.

I’ve always been impressed with Juan. He’s calm and rational. Reacts the same on NPR as he does on FOX. Does a good job supporting a liberal social agenda without being a crazy leftist regarding the economy. It’s almost as if he’s one of the few lefties that is willing to look at some facts regarding the economy and not just someone who panders to the people who want something free from the government. I can’t think of many people I agree with more often, but I never feel like he’s just trying to pander to my emotions. Something people like Ed Schultz, O’Donnell, the new Chris Matthews and so many other people on Williams’ side can’t seem to match. Conservatives could use a few like him on their side. Of course NPR would never hire him then.

it seems like a full-scale war between both sides has officially begun.

That tends to happen when a decidedly political organization, led by political operatives, learned character assassins, declares war on an media institution, as Media Matters has. MMFA openly declared war on Fox a few months ago (without fanfare from Mediaite – but there WAS an article making fun of the hat Glenn Beck wore in his on-air response) and has subsequently gone so far as to attack and threaten their advertizing in a bullying manner – not over any particular story, but just because.

The Administration declared war on Fox in 2009. They were beaten back by the media industry on the whole lining up to support Fox’s access and reputation. Even though they were competitors, the rest of the media industry were offended by Obama using the naked power of the presidency so forcefully against one of their own. That was the political wing’s big mistake. They overstepped, they learned, they adjusted. This is the Administration’s war on Fox – part II, only now through surrogates.

From the New York article. . .

[David Brock] recently hired Ilyse Hogue, who, as MoveOn.org’s former director of political advocacy, has plenty of experience with pressure campaigns. “[Media Matters For America] want[s] to drive up the cost of Fox for Rupert Murdoch and the News Corp. board of directors,” Hogue says one day in her office, which is dominated by a large white board containing her team’s latest brainstorms: persuading Alwaleed bin Talal, the Saudi prince who’s the second largest News Corp. shareholder, to divest from the company over Fox’s coverage of Muslims; reaching out to the cast of Glee to protest the news channel; etc.

Lobbying Hollywood to spread anti-Fox propaganda and targeting Fox stockholders for attack based on identity politics. Media Matters isn’t a media watchdog organization – it’s a political action committee. And a dirty one at that.

[it's] laughable that Media Matters is considered a charitable institution when they are dedicated to silencing honest debate.

“Easy Money”

It’s difficult. It’s very tough.
I said to the man who’d been sleeping rough
To sit within a fragrant breeze
All among the nodding trees
That hang heavy with the stuff

He threw his arms around my neck
He brushed the tear from my cheek
And held my soft white hand
He was an understanding man
He did not even barely hardly speak

Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

All the things for which my heart yearns
Gives joy in diminishing returns
He kissed me on the mouth
His hands they headed south
And my cheek it burned

Money, man, it is a bitch
The poor, they spoil it for the rich
With my face pressed in the clover
I wondered when this would be over
And at home we are all so guilty-sad

Easy money
Pour it down the open drain
Pour it all through my veins
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

Now, I’m sitting pretty down on the bank
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
In the money-coloured meadows
And all the interesting shadows
They leap up, then dissipate

Easy money
Easy money
Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
