Maybe we conservatives should start boycotting that underwrite this nut.

[Cicero]

Whatever its political orientation, Media Matters is what is known as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization

How is this possible? It is plainly written that political organizations don't qualify as charities.

The right wing is so dominant, Brock writes, that even if Democrats win the presidency this year "they still face the prospect of being brutally slammed and systematically slandered in such a way that will make governing exceedingly difficult."

Well, one can hope.

Brock also commissioned Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin to conduct a survey on a variety of media issues, including perceptions of Limbaugh. Among other things, Garin found that a majority of those surveyed believe Limbaugh often presents views that are biased, "rather than impartial and balanced." Garin also found that a large part of Limbaugh's audience is politically conservative.

Brock pays Garin to do a survey that determines Rush is "biased" and his audience is "conservative".

I don't know who is the bigger fool, Brock or the people who donate to him! LOL!

ON CSPAN yesterday, Brock commented that Time Magazine is a conservative magazine controled by the right.

[Bluntpoint]

If Brock crows, does he make a sound, if he only appears on Hardball?

[Yo-Yo]

The right wing is so dominant, Brock writes, that even if Democrats win the presidency this year "they still face the prospect of being brutally slammed and systematically slandered in such a way that will make governing exceedingly difficult."

As Rush says, it's called shining the light of truth.

If memory serves me, David Brock was hailed in the early 1990's, in the pages of American Spectator as:

"...a former liberal journalist turned conservative..."

As I recall, Brock pronounced his rehab of liberalism when he was peddling his book on Anita Hill. The book garnered the attention of Rush Limbaugh and sold well. Brock wrote for the AS for a spell, then suddenly changed affiliations again in the mid-1990's.

IMO, David Brock is a crock.

Brock's appearance on CSPAN this week, evoked the wrath of one caller who proved that CSPAN do not use a tape delay on their callers.
If I can recall the statement it was "You are a d*ck sucking,c*ck......"
The CSPAN moderator"I am so sorry about that,David"

Brock is repulsive and so is his book. I got a free copy of it at a conference last week and have been reading it. While some information in it is new to me, much of it involves smearing every conservative philanthropist, intellectual and activist he can name with vague associations with the KKK, the John Birch Society, Nixon's plumbers, etc. Same crap he accuses the right of doing.

Brock is a part of what is being built as a vast left-wing conspiracy. They have studied what conservatives have done over the last 25 years and are trying to mimic it. I actually heard someone say at this conference that it doesn't even matter what ideas Democrats have and want to promote, all that matters is that they build a "noise machine" and an "echo chamber" comparable to what conservatives have built. It was hilarious. I had to work hard to keep my mouth shut.

How much of Brock's 'reportage' on this website was responsible for the numerous media pieces lambasting Limbaugh for his 'skull & bones' comment, which, simply WAS taken out of context (or, rather, reported WITHOUT the proper context)? It looked at that point like many of the media shills were only too happy to drop by, get some trash, and use it against Limbaugh...

[Sofa King]

"Garin also found that a large part of Limbaugh's audience is politically conservative."

Anybody who is stupid enough to do a survey to find this out is not worth listening to.

[L.N. Smithee]

Timothy Noah, the liberal "Chatterbox" columnist for Slate, wrote that "Chatterbox yields to no one in his eagerness to believe the awful things Brock is now saying about himself and the conservative movement in America. But the more Brock insists that he has lied, and lied, and then lied again, the more one begins to suspect Brock of being, well, a liar."

Of all the liberals that I thought would be honest enough to make that connection, I didn't think the obtuse Noah would be one of them.

[Dont Mention the War]

Media Matters exists for one reason: To be a one-stop shop for conservative-bashing talking points during the 2004 campaign and get everyone on the same page. Al Franken, Blowhard Ed Schultz, every liberal newspaper columnist, your kid's college professor........all of them will know what lines to parrot on any given day in order to "discredit" the right.

The only problem with their plan is that the only people listening to the people parroting the talking points are going to be people that never intend to vote for Bush in a million years anyway.

Brock may have contracted HIV of the brain somewhere along the line.

[Brian Allen]

Brock is a Goebbels look-alike/act-alike who indulges his every self-loathing based, envy-motivated, rage-engined, hatred-driven, disgustingly deviant, degenerate, depraved and abandoned pathologically-infantile urge -- and sees the world only through the distorting lens of his own defects of character.

And we should care?

Gag me.
