For those of you unfamiliar with him, Politico’s Dylan Byers is a left-wing operative disguising himself as a “media analyst.” If you look at his incredibly biased work just since the start of the year, you’ll find someone who also has enjoyed an open relationship with Media Matters.

oba’mao’ and his lap dog liberal stooges at pmsnbc, nbc, abc, cbs, mediaite and other jocksniffers in the liberal media, you slobs aren’t even embarassed by these revelations, and i’m sure you’ll continue the propaganda assault on the idiot democrat voters

Wow I see Bill is having all the conservative intellectuals on tonight.SIGH.

The article in the DC finally explains the ridiculous columns of Greg Sargent at the Wapo. Tucker explained that even the MM employees laugh at Sargent, who would print any propaganda they sent him, no matter how far fetched.

No one is embarrassed by this “revelation” because reading a post like yours reminds what an insanely paranoid bunch right wingers have become in recent years.

 Were you embarrassed that the owner of Fox News knew of hacking dead persons phones for news?

“MSNBC is pretty much taking what Media Matters puts out [...] and takes it and throws it on the air without
any kind of fact-check.”

How does this differ from what Fox News has consistently done? 

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-stewart-apologizes-to-politifact-reads-list-of-politifact-fox-news-corrections/

Both networks are ideological conglomerates.  Anyone who begs the differ with either network is living in partisan fantasyland. 

Does paying a 6 year old to write your jokes qualify as child labor?  A Gingrich fan I see…

Really? Is that why Media Matters, Move On, and on and on all exist? “Paranoia?”

And the RNC writes the entire Fox line up. Your point being?

What a distinctly petty little beastie is wee Tucklets. And to think he’s actually trying to relive his pathetic halcyon day [sic] of “blowing the lid” off the Journolist list-serv for being [ta-da-dah-DUMMMMM] a list-serv on which actual journalists email each other – by the remarkably clever ruse of begging to be allowed to participate. Oh is there no end to his investigative ingenuity.

 Media Matters only repeat Fox News verbatim in their own words, which makes fox look stupid.

You GOP’s are a paranoid bunch.

Sargent’s terrific at aggregation. I think that’s because when the idiots who run the rapidly sinking ship that is the WaPo dumped Dan Froomkin, they saw how their online traffic plummeted. Sargent’s been able to bring back some of that, but it’s nowhere near enough to save Kaplan Faux Education.

Now, why in the world do you imagine, M. Gants d’Idéotie, that anyone here would believe for millisecond that you had the least insider knowledge of any of the things you claim to know?

Yeah, sure they do.

Media Matters purposely takes things out of context to further their agenda and advocacy.

False equivalence. Fuppet News Channel is a Punch-&-Judy show. MSNBC is about as ideological as used coffee grounds. 

Were you bothered by Spencer Ackerman’s directive to “just call them racists,” in defense of Obama and his critics?

Does anyone understand Hout’s mixed metaphors… or is this Royal King sock puppet equally unintelligible?

Must be why they get trashed on th if fervent Fox programs on a daily basis when they do something stupid. You need better BS talking points.

It’s not been a good month for liberal loons.

This show is abusive to it’s elderly viewership.

Liberals: We care about all people… except for the poor, the elderly, Christians, and minorities who don’t vote our way. Everyone else, we’re here to help and protect you. All those other folks, we will insult, attack, mock, and disrespect you at will. Thanks!

Conservatives need to go after Media Matters and pathological liar Brock with the goal of annihilation.They try to shut conservatives up with lies and smears so they should be treated the same.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean their not out to get you.

And MSNBC should be convicted for inciting their mentally challenged viewers.

Paranoia is profitable, just ask Glenn Beck.

Well, coffee grounds are the mark of an elitist Starbucks-sipping Marxist.  At least that’s what Fox and Friends tell me (in between sips from their coffee mugs.) 

How much “news” can a dead person provide?
Who cares?
You just wish that there was something, somewhere, in your life that was of enough interest that someone, somewhere would go to some effort to know about.
Face up to reality, Lambchop….There is no conflict…Fox won.

Fear sells!

Carlson is just looking for attention to promote his website. Sad really.

Media Matters has created the meme that everything FOX News says is a lie, so all Media Matters does is post a video from FOX News and all of the media matters trolls comment saying how ‘FAUX’ News lies without even understanding the context or facts of FOX’s report.

Media matters has done a great job creating a bunch of liberal robots. 

Media Matters is clearly partisan, but if you go to the site many of the clips are 2:00 minutes long at least, some much longer. From there, another 10 or so clips are often linked to give context. Yes, there is an agenda just like there is an agenda if you go to the Daily Caller, but the difference is the Daily Caller usually just has a short article (editorial, really) with very few sources whereas MM gives you a lot of video and audio clips to back up their point. They put things in much more context than other sites that also offer video clips–say, for example, Mediaite. 

Fox & friends tell you it’s an evil Soros page because they don’t like their sheep to go there.  

“Media Matters purposely takes things out of context to further their agenda and advocacy.”

So in other words, you’re saying that they do EXACTLY what Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, Bolling, Levin, Savage, Malkin, Rove, Palin and Carlson do.

And the Media Matters exec’s wanted to stalk FOX News reporters and contributors in order to gain fodder for News stories. Looks like there are some similarities between media moguls. 

Hey buddy, the American Public believes that FOX handled the GOP debates most professionally and asked the toughest, most pertinent question. Look it up. 

*DRINK*

Attack the messenger instead of reading / debating the substance of the expose!
-Voltman logic
*DRINK*

But Ben Smith is a Journolister and Sargent declined comment which means the remarks about him are true. We all know that news is agenda driven, but liberals cannot acknowledge that their brand is not gospel. FNC is conservative, CBS, ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CNN, PBS etc… are nothing more than extensions of the DNC,and they have been for as long as I can recall. 

I don’t understand how anyone takes Tucker Carlson seriously. He basically doesn’t open his mouth unless the mainstream GOP approves it. His site’s articles are extremely sloppy and any time Carlson weighs in, it’s usually to make a boneheaded comment about women. It would be hard to invent a guy who comes across as more snide, arrogant and selfish but the genius touch is the bow tie. 

See this exciting tidbit on the Daily Caller: 

In late September 2011, the Daily Caller reported with a straight face that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was seeking 230,000 additional workers at a cost of $21 billion to enforce greenhouse gas regulations. When others pointed out that the EPA wasn’t in fact asking to boost the federal workforce by 10 percent, the Daily Caller, in what will define quasi-journalistic sophistry forever, fashioned an argument to avoid correcting the story. 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/post/daily-caller-reporter-points-fact-checking-finger-at-another-news-outlet/2012/02/13/gIQAz7uLBR_blog.html 

Didn’t see it – tho, I have to confess to suspecting you’ve cast it somewhat differently than would be apparent from reading the, you know, actually post. Is it on Attackerman? Give us an approximate date, if not an actual link. 

[That said, I am in favor of calling racial bigots racists, on the same basis as referring to water as H20.]

That, plus Starbucks is the official sponsor of Morning Goe – not exactly a Marxist-Leninist he.

LOL!

Media Matters for America must have recently really stung the right wing scum at O’Reilly’s Fox Noise Channel and _ucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller for them to go on an we-can’t-attack-the-message-so-let’s-attack-the-messenger campaign.

They admit to unnamed sources virtually everywhere!!  That reduces the pap which is featured at their media outlets to shameless gossip.  (The word “journalism” can never be used in reference to Fox Noise or The Daily Caller:  even Breitbart’s blog(s) and The Drudge Report have been around longer and have the right to call themselves journalists, although they too fail to qualify.)

Who’s next on the attack of MMfA?  Brent Bozo of the Media Research Center or any of his Koch-supported other website operations?

Oh well, David Brock and his competent group not only fully expect this kind of trash from the right wing, they welcome it.  It always serves as validation of your efforts at doing a good job when those at Fox Noise and The Daily Caller, who have the ears and eyes of too many of the naive, gullible, and outright imbecilic to whose minds those two control, finally turn their hate and bile against those trying to expose them for the liars they are.

Oxymoron. Conservative intellectual. A rare breed indeed these days.

Yeah, maybe I’m taxing the knowledge base of the yutes among the Mediaite reader base too, uh, SEVERELY. Rather than Punch & Judy, the classic puppet show format to the pre-TV set, I could have chosen the Muppets. But Ailes is pretty frickin’ old, youngsters – I’m absolutely sure HE’d get the P & J reference; after all, it’s how he’s designed his entire channel.  

The idea is simple: the brains of people of a certain authoritarian bent never actually mature out of understanding adult discussion beyond a purely Manichean construct: good versus evil. That was, for centuries, the strength of puppet shows: children used to be able to watch a ‘good’ puppet pick up a little toy representation a big club & whack the bejeebers out of a ‘bad’ puppet. But in order for it to work, you have to make sure your audience is able to tell ‘good’ puppet from ‘bad’ puppet. From there, it’s not exactly rocket surgery – for example, a house ‘liberal’ like Alan Colmes is clearly a ‘bad’ puppet, not just because the host always introduces Colmes as “liberal”, but because he’s low key & rational-sounding & sees issues in shades of greay … & therefore a weasely ‘bad’ puppet, because authoritarians identify righteous passion as yelling.

So what!! Fox News and the Bush Administration were alot closer than this. Tony Snow went from Fox News Head Anchor to White House Press Secretary. Is that illegal or unethical or something? Why would Fox News make this an issue? And when did people start caring what Tucker Carlson says?!? O_o 

So very rich from the Breitbart post slave who introduced the D.C. propaganda this morning as part of the emerging “blogolist” scandal. Do you think people laugh at you Steve… After they send you on such an errand?

You add great value. I enjoy your on the clock work as well.

Ha.

Tucker used to have his own show on MSNBC. It failed. Miserably.

 They’re called RINOs now.

I find it curious that conservatives right-out dismiss anything that comes from MM – they provide a rational analysis and if you disagree with their points, present arguments.

Indeed, MM puts things into context – and as Mencius points out, quite thoroughly. Nonetheless I don’t expect they got it always right, but they generally provide convincing reasonings.
By the way, their agenda is dedication “to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”

What is wrong with their agenda?

Then who’s supposed to vet the Daily Caller’s media watchdog watchdoging?

Fox News can put Media Matters out of business instantly by stopping the asinine material that MM funding survives on

Unnecessary formatting.

The distribution of accurate, non-partisan reporting from FOX is statistically random. With so many aberrations in their reporting, FOX has only itself to blame.

MM just points out the inaccuracies (under ‘research’ you will find comprehensive evidence for each case)

TUCKER:  WE’LL YEAH, BILL…WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO USE SOURCES ON THE RECORD BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH LIKE REAL REPORTING, SO NO.

FOX owns you. Fear me, for you and your kind will be living under the rules of those who want what’s best for this country, not just rich, white Conquistadors bent on an agenda that helps no one. Including yourself. I smoke a bunch of weed and I bet I can throw a football better, skate with more agility AND shoot straighter than you. Lets not even bring up academics or how hot my woman is. And I bet I sleep better than you too. To equate Obama with Mao is disrespect to your countrymen and I hereby call you out. Out with the old and in with the new.

 Oh I won’t mind you. MM needs a GOP counterpart. Oh wait, they can’t set up a site that has references because then the whole purpose is defeated: Confuse and play on the fears of the party loyalists.

 A desperate attempt to make the failed Daily Caller relevant.

When Rush sneaks in things like Obama’s budget allocates $800m for Al Qaeada to the millions that listen to him, not sure exposing that can be categorized as propaganda

“CBS, ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CNN, PBS etc.”

so everybody else you mean … interesting …

You misunderstood – MM discloses accidental inaccuracies in conservative media, so as to improve journalistic standards.

Let’s start with the first: how do you come to the conclusion that liberals do not care about the poor?

If this is supposed to be antithetical to the GOP’s position I would like to know how the GOP cares(and takes care) about the poor? (no need to mention Romney)

exactly and you progressives liberals are good at very good at it.

Bring out the Royal Gimp

One thing I always found amusing about Oreilly is his bitching about being victimised by liberals while telling us he is the most powerful person ever to walk the earth. He is delusional. I would watch him if he weren’t so predictable and boring. Bloviating windbag. He is on the losing side of a generational battle. Racism is going to die, as is homophobia. What would be the point of people like Oreilly then? I couldn’t even click on this video.

 Ha!  O’Reilly does that all of the time.  I don’t see you posting that!!!!!!  Get over yourself.  The right is just as bad as the left.  They bother lie and they both have an agenda.  Neither is right.

And Fox News gets its talking points from the GOP. Your POINT, Billo?

Is it just me, or does it seem like HALF of “The O’Reilly Factor” is just him bitching and whining all day long about people who criticize or fact-check Fox and him?  

Can’t take the heat? GTFO of the kitchen!  

OMFG!!! Watch out people!!! Stories reported by MMFA get coverage on MSNBC!!!

It´s all hush-hush, don´t be fooled by reading the same stories on the MMFA webpage or by seeing Brock on MSNBC. It´s  a well hidden conspiracy of satanic proportions.

Falafel-Billy would never ever report about a story he didn´t personally investigate and invite mouthpieces who have nothing to report and can only helplessly smear their much more capable political opponents out of thin air.   

Easily done, stop lying and MMFA has nothing to report. Lying Cons just dont stfu, but keep on spreading lies 24/7 and keep MMFA in business.

Evidence of “News” Media collusion with the Democrats in order to propagate a dishonest and politically manipulative narrative to the public…or said another way, Democratic PROPAGANDA from the “Mainstream News Media”!
NEVER TRUST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-ADVOCACY “NEWS” MEDIA!

(Media Matters did not approve this message, as they’re required to do at NBC News!)

Lib Media Hacks are among the dumbest people walking the earth today. Being a ‘Journ-O-List’ means you’ve proven to everyone that you’re a failure at everything else in life. ‘Journalism’ is your career path when you’re lazy and dumb. But THESE Leftist Media Hacks take ‘dumb’ to a whole new level by demanding that someone ELSE do the heavy lifting. “You just come up with the talking points and I’ll write them down or say them.”

Lib Media Hacks clearly take the ‘short bus’ to and from work.

It’s not you.

O’Reilly is a classic example of the irony of someone who is a highly opinionated prick such as himself who relishes being critical and insulting of others but who then has about the thinnest skin ever when someone is critical of or insults him.  He was that whining, bawling kid growing up in the neighborhood who would shove some other kid (usually from behind, because cowardice is a signature quality of an O’Reilly), and then run screaming to his daddy (or mommy) when the kid got up and shoved him.  He was that Eddie Haskell kid who, like a pyro likes to start fires and watch them burn, he likes to start fights between others and then gets sexually excited from what he has done.

He’s a classic bully:  you will never see him debate the many opposed to him who are his intellectual superiors, because he’s an empty suit.

There is very little good that can be said of the coward, but I will say that he is slightly better than that other Irishman, Hannity, who is basically the bar-dwelling thug who is also a bully when he is with a group, but shows his cowardice when the group is not around to save his ass.

I thought liberal news outlets didn’t matter to Fox News since as they frequently remind everyone “Nobody watches” MSNBC.

No such thing.

  Line  from “Catch 22″

Let´s not forget that neither Falafel-Billy nor Tucker are making the argument that MMFA is lying.

They simply can´t since MMFA basically just collects quotes from propagandists and confronts them with facts and their OWN words. Any FOX news anchor would lose any debate with MMFA.  Just to name an example:

“Obama’s Birth Control Policy Has Support From Catholic Hospitals, Colleges, And Charities, But Fox Won’t Tell You That”

http://mediamatters.org/research/201202130008

You would think Tucker and his crew would be able to find one person to go on the record. I am not sure Tuckers article would get a passing grade in a middle school newspaper.

“Didn’t see it.” How convenient for you.

JournoList

Ackerman was a member of the private Google Groups forum JournoList. Following revelations by The Daily Caller of comments on the list, Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel was forced to resign. “Incendiary” JournoList comments by Ackerman on topics like the Jeremiah Wright controversy were also revealed by the Caller,[10] but a spokesman for Wired
said that Ackerman would keep his job, saying “We hired Spencer
Ackerman for his well-informed national security reporting and fully
support it. Anyone with access to Google can discover his political
leanings.”[11]

Ann Coulter
criticized Ackerman for suggesting that opponents of conservatives
‘start randomly picking conservatives — “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who
cares — and call them racists.”‘[12] [13]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Ackerman#JournoList

Ackerman is a bigot, who encourage people to cry “racist” to advance political theory. He is the lowest of the low, and odds are you are too dishonest, and politically invested to admit it.

Every hear a Liberal talk about the people who don’t support them? Ever read this site for more than a minute?

“Hicks” “Trailer park” “Rednecks” etc. The left sure does hate the poor folks, who don’t vote for them… and they’re not ashamed of it either.

Worthless drivel with no foundation.

tucker carlson is quickly becoming to media matters and teaheads what orly taitz is to president Obama and the birthers. seething hatred, resentment and jealousy are not that difficult to spot, tucker. maybe you, like orly, need a mental health retreat. 

@Mencius:disqus
And this is where the debate falls apart. MM has told you “we just post the clip,” and you’ve decided to believe them. Now, time and time again they’ve been show to be hypocritical, incorrect, liars, and to have taken things out of context, but you wouldn’t know (or believe) any of that, would you?

Like I said before, you’ve decided to believe them… so anything other than a strict adherence to their word, to you, is evidence of “sheep.” I could call it ironic, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t understand why.

@exGOPman:disqus
Sure, why not? So MM is as bad as the people they’re paid to complain about. Then you agree they’re gigantic hypocrites, right?

@GRB090429B:disqus
Yes, they “put” things into context… with the context being, anyone not towing the Liberal line is wrong, and bad.

Nothing is wrong with their agenda, per se (although, one could argue lying is perhaps not the best course of action)… only that their agenda manages to feed the ignorant, and those who wish to be fed. Real journalists shouldn’t take anything they say seriously, and should regard their site as nothing more than one of many on the internet.

I made the MSNBC/MediaMAtters link years ago, just as I’ve made the Mediaite/MSNBC/MediaMatters link.

This biased blog Mediaite is basically an MSNBC promotional front group, which in turn get’s it’s prime time material from MediaMatters, which Mediaite then reports and promotes.

Basically, this place is one giant far-left circle jerk.

They definitely laugh at you and the fact that you have so very little to contribute and zero influence.

And then they uhhh… those people I mean, they most clearly keep laughing and then they start to laugh more even at… uhhhh…you. You know? There laughing at you too… man.

Troll.

oh lord…yes if someone reports FACTS then they are all in that vast LEFT WING CONSPIRACY!  Is it NICE in your Fox bubble?

M.S.N.B.C.and Media Matters are propaganda operatives for Obama and the Democratic party.Their job is to attack all Republicans and Conservatives.They will say and do anything to get Obama reelected.M.S.N.B.C.and Media Matters are vile, racist, and hateful.

I dunno, this is not even worth replying to – disappointing …

Well, well…the incest-is-best-with-your-sister hillbillies are finally represented in this forum.

I was beginning to wonder if your voice was somehow stifled.

That was a horrible thing to say about someone expressing their point of view. It certainly shows what kind of a gutter mind you have. You obviously belong in the Kenyan’s camp. Your ridiculous voice is loud and discordant.

A contemptible post like his—”MSNBC and Media Matters are vile, racist, and hateful”—required a response just as contemptible.

Get over yourself, Obama-hating right winger

So the ones backing Obama are racist? Of whom?
Ignorant hillbillies?

Of whom? Did you ever hear the names Jesse Jackson and Alfraud Sharpton?????

Ummm, then why was Media Matters lookign to hire private investigators to snoop around into everyone who works at FOX — on camera and off?

Say what you want about FOX, it doesn’t violate Federal tax law by pretending to be a charitable non-profit while engaging in explicitly partisan activities.

The problem isn’t Media Matters. They don’t claim to be objective journalists, and no one would mistake them for ones even if they did. It’s a blog, and like all blogs it’s a mash-up of half-truths and special pleading. I don’t expect it to be fact checked, because I know they rarely report facts.

The problem comes when something that purports to be a news netork, like MSNBC, merely reads Media Matters releases verbatim without ever spending ten seconds to ask, “Is anything in this press release accurate?”

Or, at a minimum, explictily acknowledging, on-air, that the source fo the reporting is Media Matters, and not NBC News.

 But not extinct like liberal intellectual.
