Tucker Carlson To Fox & Friends: Media Matters Planned To Hire Investigators To Spy on Steve Doocy

VIDEO
» 232 comments

The Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson was a guest on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning, and discussed the series of reports his site is putting out on Media Matters.

“We have all kinds of information from inside Media Matters,” Carlson said, before reading an email he obtained that revealed a strategy by the organization to vilify Fox News:

“The e-mail begins by pointing out that — I’m quoting — the progressive movement needs a new enemy. George W. Bush is gone, ‘We don’t have John McCain to kick around anymore.’ They need someone to hate, and the idea is that Fox News makes a convenient group to hate and raise money against.”

“One of the ideas in this memo is to send private investigators to look into the personal lives of Fox News anchors, reporters, staff — this includes you, Steve — and also network executives,” Carlson explained, adding that part of the plan included gathering research, attacking Fox News on social media, putting yard signs outside homes, putting moles inside Fox News, and hiring Michael Moore to make an anti-Fox documentary. “The list goes on,” Carlson said, “of ideas to discredit Fox.”

Carlson described the Media Matters plan as “over-the-top,” while Doocy pointed out that part of the plan was to dig for dirt on producers and behind-the-scenes people in efforts to try to discredit the network.

    Isn’t this exactly what Faux “News”, Breitbart, Daily Caller, and all the other Kock Bro./Murdoch/Corporatist/Right-Wing Media do?

    If Dancing With the “Stars” Tucker cannot name his sources his drive by hit piece on MMFA is bunk — like all right-wing babble.

     The people who’ll buy this will believe anything. That Doocy — about as
    low rent and dim-witted a “journalist” as you’ll find — would show up
    on anyone’s radar is absurd as it sounds. You might as well target lint
    for investigation. It poses about an equal threat to that dirty libruhl agenda.

    If Tucker Carlson can prove that this was actually done—I’ll listen. But accusations must always be proven, as I only care about the substance and not the seriousness of the accusation.

    Doocy is only Murdoch go to boy to tell his listers what ever it is Murdoch wants them to hear.   Besides, Doocy after being on FOX knows no othe major network would ever hire him again, especially at hiscurrent salary.  FOX will do anything to get MM off their back in the war against MM they been fighting for so long.  MM must be winning.

    Like the Cheney/bush Admin’s war on MSNBC? Obama had a sit down with O’Loofah. Did Bush ever have one with Keith Olbermann?

    NO.

    As part of the ongoing White House v. Fox News battle, Fox News
    Sunday host Chris Wallace complained yesterday that “as they’ve done
    every week since August, the White House refused to make
    any administration officials available to ‘FOX News Sunday.’” On Fox
    and Friends this morning, host Brian Kilmeade tried to paint a contrast
    between the Obama administration and the Bush administration, telling
    former Bush press secretary Dana Perino, “not only did you not go after”
    networks critical of Bush, “you gave them interviews, as did the
    president.” Perino corrected him, however, saying that “towards the
    end,” the Bush administration largely froze out MSNBC:

    KILMEADE: And not only did you not go after them, you gave them interviews, as did the president.
    DOOCY: Sure.
    KILMEADE: Gave them all interviews. Read Ronald Reagan’s diaries…
    PERINO: Towards the end we didn’t do a lot with MSNBC. That’s, that is the case.

    If the 1st installment is any indication, Little Bow-tie Tucker’s POS expose
    will be nothing more than a steaming pile of elephant dung.

    For instance….How is an organization with a budget of about $10
    Million and assets of about $2.9 Million going “to spend nearly $20
    million in 2012 to influence news coverage.” I damn sure wish they
    could!
    I am damn glad if Mediamatters did in fact had a role in getting the racist Don Imus
    fired? And the Bow-tie Tucker’s POS thinks that was a bad thing?

    GEE: “Brock, who collected over $250,000 in salary from Media Matters in
    2010,” Little Bow-tie did not reprot that Brent Bozell’s POS Media
    Research Center propaganda outlet has $11.5 Million in assets and pays
    him well over $400,000.

    And I never thought I’d hear right-winger using the fact that someone
    carries a concealed weapon as proof to someone idiosyncrasy.

    The problem is the drones continue to insist this isn’t the case, even though those who pay attention had already heard this before.  I’d heard about the opposition research into Fox employees (not just on air talent) during the 2008 campaign season, and extending into the White House’s ridiculous and one sided war on Fox News.  If you read the comments from lefty posters the past few days you see they continue to deny this problem exists, or try to justify it by claiming the same thing is done on the conservative side – but of course they can’t site anything other than Glenn Beck (who isn’t even on TV anymore), and Brietbart (who’s expose’s nearly always turn out to be 100% true.)

    Tucker is basically saying:

    “I got nothing,I just really,really,reeeaaally hate them you know….”

  • SNAPTIE – Hope & Chump Change

    “In ‘08 it became pretty apparent MSNBC was going left,”  They were using our research to write their stories. They were eager to use our stuff. Media Matters staff had the direct line of MSNBC president Phil Griffin, and used it. Griffin took their calls.
    Stories about Fox News were especially well received by MSNBC anchors and executives: “If we published something about Fox in the morning, they’d have it on the air that night verbatim.”’”  Less than a month later, in language that could have been copied directly from a Media Matters press release, Anita Dunn leveled almost precisely the same charge, dismissing Fox as “more a wing of the Republican Party.”

    We have an email here that reads — and I’m quoting  – Tucker Carlson and Steve Doocy have been seen “in deep conversation at The White Swallow in San Francisco” lately. We have all kinds of other information that we will share in future weeks including video of Breitbart from his college years at Tulane that is VERY revealing. Of course we can’t show you any of this and we never will but the important thing is for us to talk about it and for you to believe it exists without any evidence other than our saying so and because you hate the people we are talking about. Also, Gretchen Carlson is a man. 

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    In a related story, the Tuckster told Gretchen O’Van Karlsen that Soros hired tiny, tiny men from Venus to access her rather minimalist brain cavity through her well-waxed ear kanal and plant a tiny, tiny GPS device so that we can determine where her head is. She said that her brain was tickling the other night and now she knows why. Tuckster was unable to disclose his source.

    The e-mail begins by pointing out that — I’m quoting — the progressive movement needs a new enemy. George W. Bush is gone, ‘We don’t have John McCain to kick around anymore.’ They need someone to hate, and the idea is that Fox News makes a convenient group to hate and raise money against.”

    So the “quote” in the memo is that Bush and McCain are no longer news subjects. 
    Then Carlson has to explain what “the idea is”.

    Total crap journalism, exactly what you’d expect from these crybabies.

    Fox News chief Roger Ailes and his wife Elizabeth must get spooked a
    lot in their weekend home in rural Putnam Valley, N.Y., because they
    call 911 a lot. During one 30-day period last summer, police cars were dispatched to their address six times. All
    told, according to police records we obtained from the Putnam County
    Sheriff’s Department via New York’s Freedom of Information Law, cops
    have been called to the Ailes’ home 10 times since 2009. In eight of
    those calls, units were actually sent to the house. None of the calls
    resulted in an investigation, arrest, or determination that any criminal
    activity had taken place.
    Ailes, a former Nixon aide, is known for his paranoid behavior. He is licensed to carry a handgun in New York City, has claimed to be the victim of numerous death threats, travels with a security detail, and has placed his homes under video surveillance.

     James O”Keefe didn’t enter the ACORN offices wearing a pimp outfit those inserts were added later, Breitbart bankrolled that one.

    The Shirley Sherrod video was edited to make it appear that she was discriminating against a white farmer, when the entire videos was released it showed that Sherrod was actually doing the opposite.

    Breitbart announces “shocking” video of community organizers “praying” to Obama. On September 29, 2009, Breitbart.tv embedded a
    YouTube video under the headline: “Shock Discovery: Community
    Organizers Pray TO President-Elect Obama.” The video included captions
    reading “Deliver Us Obama” and “Hear Our Cry Obama,” suggesting that the
    crowd of people — members of the faith-based group The Gamaliel
    Foundation — featured in the clip was “pray[ing] to” Obama.

    Breitbart walks back “praying” allegation. Breitbart.tv later embedded a
    different version of the video — this one without captions — under
    the headline: “Newly Discovered: Community Organizers Appear to ‘Pray’
    to President-Elect Obama.” Attached to this version was an “Editor’s
    note” explaining: “We’ve updated this post with the longer version of
    the original event. As you’ll see in the comments and related links
    there is a debate over what is actually being said. Does the crowd say,
    ‘Hear our cry, Obama’ and ‘Deliver us Obama?’ Or are they saying ‘Oh
    God?’ In the longer version the first two repetitions seem to have a
    distinct ‘uh’ sound at the end that resonates as ‘Obama.’ The later
    repetitions are a little fuzzier.”

    Gamaliel Foundation responds: “At no time, however, have we prayed to President Barack Obama.” After the video was posted on Beck’s blog, the Gamaliel Foundation issued a response, in which they stated:

    As a faith-based organization, it is customary for Gamaliel
    Foundation affiliates to begin and end every action with prayer. At no
    time, however, have we prayed to President Barack Obama. In the form of
    call and response, those who took part in the UnitedHealthcare action
    can be heard saying, “Hear our cry oh God,” “Deliver us oh God,” etc.

    It is obvious that those who took the time to distort our sincere
    action for healthcare reform, by posting their own edited version on the
    Internet, are against what we believe is a fundamental right. It is
    also obvious that those who are against healthcare reform will stoop to
    any level to stop what Dr. Martin Luther King called, one of the
    greatest forms of inequality.Breitbart.tv
    headline: “Obama & Dems in ’05: 51 Vote ‘Nuclear Option’ Is ‘Arrogant’ Power
    Grab Against the Founder’s Intent.”
    On February 24, Breitbart.tv posted video showing Democratic
    senators expressing opposition to a Republican proposal that would have
    eliminated use of the filibuster for judicial nominations. Text accompanying the
    video states, “Biden: ‘I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don’t
    make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.’ ”

    Conservative
    media jump on video to accuse Democrats of hypocrisy. Numerous conservative media
    figures, particularly at Fox News, jumped on the
    video as evidence that Democrats who
    in 2010 supported the use of the budget reconciliation process for
    health care reform are hypocrites, falsely suggesting that the “nuclear option”
    to which the Democrats referred was the budget reconciliation
    process.

    Democrats in
    video were discussing “nuclear option” of changing Senate rules, not
    reconciliation. The term “nuclear option” was coined
    by former Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS), one of the leading advocates of
    the proposal to change the Senate rules on filibusters for judicial nominations.
    The Democrats in the video were expressing opposition to this proposal to change Senate rules,
    not the use of
    reconciliation.

    I’m not a fan of ambush journalism but NBC and ABC have prime time shows built around setting people up, and 60-minutes has long been the leader in ambush journalism.   Investigating actual wrong doing is fine, writing up articles filled with falsehoods are not.  Media Matters uses character assassination and lies to discredit their targets.  They aren’t interested in reporting facts, they are like a prosecutor trying to discredit the rape victim.  Also, in your comparison to Breitbart.  He pays taxes, MM does not.

    This is getting better and better.  MMFA is guilty of writing about the possibility of investigating personalities as a means to discredit an organization.  Did anyone here read part one in this series?  Remember? The series of “moles” used to describe aspects of Brock’s personal life as a means to attack the organization?  Is this series really about MMFA of some strange meta experiment in coming clean where the D.C. staff project as a brand of covert confession?  At least we have the comedy of Treacher the Breitbart workers trolling Mediaite to throw insults at the common citizens willing to object to such nonsense.

    I also find the “likes” very important as well.  I scrutinize them closely and use them as a gauge on how popular someone is.  This allows me to discount someone who might say something credible or factual, if their “likes” are in question to me.

    And on the flip side, some one who has a habit of spouting sophomoric and inane drivel will seem less inane to me if they have lots of credible likes from like minded people.  Take you for example…

    Despite your mockery we are viewing an interesting phenomenon.  You have a guy like Breitbart who’s stated objective is to destroy the “institutional left.” Operationally this means producing and promoting content that denigrates media personalities, left wing websites, progressive think tanks, democratic donors and of course elected and appointed political leaders.  

    For all the right wing hysteria over the “journolist” faux-scandal folks like Breitbart and Carlson run an honestly scandalous racket.  They not only create and promote false memes denigrating elements of the “institutional” left but also promote these memes as a mode of distraction on sites like Mediate.  

    An article describing Jim Cramer’s analysis of Obama’s improving chances?  Apostrophe Jones/ Big Eddie/ Gloves (All names for Breitbart writer Steve Grammatico) is there to redirect toward Carlson’s smear of MMFA.  The “likes” are a small piece of a wider plan to promote far right wing attack on the emerging digital public sphere.   

    The most scandalous element is the manner in which Breitbart’s Grammatico and Carlson’s Treacher (two of the most obvious) insult and attack those not paid as partisans.  To use an analogy, it’s as if the neighborhood pizza joint (Mediaite) is not only badmouthed by a cross town competitor, but employees are dispatched to the competing dining room to sell their own pizza and insult patrons who prefer the neighborhood joint.

    The “likes” are simply a way for the attackers to inflate their numbers as they push their crappy pie and spit at the patrons.

    And as EVERY investigation into those videos found, they were highly doctored and contained no evidence of wrongdoing by ACORN.  In fact, the only wrongdoing was on the part of O’Keefe:

    “This week the Brooklyn D.A.’s office concluded a four-month investigation into the controversial ACORN sting videos produced last fall and found no criminality carried out by the organization. On the contrary, it found that the people behind the tapes, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, edited them heavily to “meet their agenda.” This comes after similar findings announced by the Congressional Research Service in December, where ACORN’s actions were determined to be less legally objectionable than the actions of O’Keefe and Giles, who likely violated laws in two states banning surreptitious face to face recording.”

If they had this material why didn’t they produce it for the cameras?  FOX has been fighting Media Matters for a some time now, and the only people who are pulled in by FOX’s false claims are their viewers who don’t think for themselves.  If they would take a minute and see what Media Matters writes about FOX they would easily see MM just quotes FOX and points out what they left out.

    Go Media Matters and bring some of that good old time exposure that leads to prosecution of the guilty, and remember the more they fear being exposed the more likely they will be motivated to throw someone or a dozen or so to the wolves like they are doing in Jolly Ol England.

    Besides Tucker is doing what he always dose, making controversy to drive traffic to his failing web site, if he is in possession of evidence that would hurt Media Matters he should have released it unedited or taken it to a lawyer to bring an action against them or turned it over to a prosecutor if what he claims is illegal or prosecutable in any way and as he has done none of things then he is trying to cause an effect that will benifit him and we are back to him just trying to drive attention to his site for his own gain and purposes.

    That’s fine and good, but you haven’t given any information that proves the study is invalid or cast doubts on the conclusion made by the study.  You tried to say because it was funded by liberal groups means the study is wrong.  Statistical data is not swayed by who funds a study.  But obviously you’re a believer in FOX by your insinuation that Soros was involved so there for the study is invalid.  FOX won’t tell you this, but if you do your own research you’ll see where Soro’s donates primarily to charity groups while the Koch brothers donates to any organization that helps their business.

    I also don’t always agree with Media Matters, but where validate the point against FOX is to always include the FOX video to prove the point they are making.  How often do you see FOX doing providing unedited Media Matters comment with the unedited FOX video the comment was about.  I watch FOX and heard their complaints about MM, but they never provide any unedited evidence to support their claim.  FOX actually got so desperate in their fight against MM, they tried to get their viewers to write to the IRS to get MM’s tax exemption pulled.  How far did that get them since they since they couldn’t prove their point.  Also, Canada wouldn’t allow FOX build a broadcasting station in Canada since they have laws on the books that state that anyone who claims the be broadcasting news over the airwaves must report it accurately and without and biased.  Too bad we don’t have any such laws here.

    Maybe there would be more love in this country if less of your ilk were around? Ever figure that? You obviously confuse popularity with quality and integrity since you lack them. That is the mark of an ignorant conformist

    The words intelligent, reasonable, fair, and conservative don’t go together either.

    What part of “The most TRUSTED name in news” do you not understand????

    Do you know what a poll is?  Cause people write down who they feel is the most TRUSTED … okay scooter?  …. Not who is the most popular!

    Your denial and common-man stupidity is epic.  You’re nothing but a state run media PATSIE … how embarrassing for you.  Anyone who wants a one sided media with no dissent is a naive fool of the highest order.

    Do you watch MSDNC … cause that pos rag is obsessed with fanning the flames of a race and class war to rip the country in two because they believe that helps Dingle Barry, politically …. regardless of how dishonest they must be 24/7.  Liberalism is a LIE for slackers, racists, liars and retards who are all desperate for wealth redistribution from their superiors across the aisle. 

    So good luck w/ your entitlements and drug addiction and that tremendously goofy 70′s pornstar mustache … LMFAO!  Are you REALLY as dumb as you look, boy?

    Your laughable 5th grade education has exposed you and let you down one more time …. what a shocker!

    Now go burn the flag, you goofy looking troll … you won’t be needed back on the set of Deliverance until Ned Beatty makes his way up the mountainside.

    soooo-eeeee …. soo-eey soo-eey … soooo-eeeee

    What a foolish little twit.

    Were you one of the little whores, like rat toothed Joan Walsh, who spent the summer claiming that Anthony Weiner sent no naked photos to women, that it was really Breitbart hacking his account and faking it all?

    Do you vermin enjoy gargling sewage all day for your masters?  And you probably do it without even being paid by Soros.  Not only a whore but a cheap street hooker at that.
