Letter from David Brock, Founder of Media Matters for America

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Media Matters for America, a new Web-based, not-for-profit progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. Because a healthy democracy depends on public access to accurate and reliable information, Media Matters for America is dedicated to alerting news outlets and consumers to conservative misinformation -- wherever we find it, in every news cycle -- and to spurring progressive activism based on standards and accountability in media.

In the mid-1990s, as a conservative media insider, I saw firsthand (and participated in) the damage done to our democracy when conservative misinformation masquerades as journalism. In my book Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative (2002), I revealed how this misinformation -- deliberately bought and paid for by covert political forces -- enveloped the media, poisoned public discourse, and nearly toppled a president.

Take any subject in contemporary polititcs, and cross-reference it with the all the liberal spin on that topic, weave it with conjectural innuendo, and call it 'clarification' and what you get is this new web-resource for the moonbats of the fever swamps... Media Matters for America

Needs a "Barf Alert" in the title...

[Rabid Dog]

Well I think the first thing he should investigate is the collapse of Air America.

Unlike the Phoenix, this Dodo bird will not rise from the ashes of Air America.

"Media Matters for America is dedicated to alerting news outlets and consumers to conservative misinformation, wherever we find it, in every news cycle, and to spurring progressive activism based on standards and accountability in media."

And "spurring progressism activism in the media" is somehow different from what he accuses conservatives of doing? Please.

[perfect stranger]

was that you on the phone?

[Blue Highway]

It most certainly was.

I thought Brock was a slimebag when he was right wing, and he's still one now he's left wing.

[perfect stranger]

How much room is still left on the 20 gig?

[jmstein7]

What the HELL happened to David Brock? Did the Clinton folks beat, torture, and threaten him during his stay in Little Rock all those years ago?

Needs a PROVEN LIAR alert also. Our local talk host in Memphis was talking about this today. This guy has a real bad habit of NOT telling the truth. He was at one time a conservative now he's a liberal..like ariana huffington.

[Mr.Atos]

You're right! I posted it on the way out the door...

... after it was referred to me for balance. If that won't make you Barf, I don't know what will. The mission statement itself is oxymoronic ...neo-maxi-zum-dweebie!

... correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media... I revealed how this misinformation -- deliberately bought and paid for by covert political forces -- enveloped the media, poisoned public discourse, and nearly toppled a president.

And what is the funding source for this highly developed new online agitprop dispensation resource complete with a referenced database of lop-sided analysis that would make the polit bureau proud?... all dedicated to the toppling of a President. The staff for this site must be immense.

It stinks of Ernst Stavro Blofeld Soros himself if you ask me.
