Media Matters Launches Fight FOX Campaign
AmericanThinker ^ | September 18, 2009 | Kyle-Anne Shiver

Well, well, well look here what just popped up in my email. It's a memo from Media Matters President, Eric Burns. Yes, of course, I subscribe to Media Matters. One must always keep one's enemies close.

Our boy Eric has decided that the one lone TV voice crying in the wilderness in often dissenting fashion to our Dear Leader is one lone voice too many and has decided to launch a "Fight Fox" campaign.

"Dear Friend," Eric's letter begins, "Since President Obama's inauguration, Fox News has officially abandoned its already dubious standing as a news organization and is now engaging in outright political activism, completing its transition into the 24/7 media wing of the far-right conservative movement."

Isn't Chávez trying to shut down the last independent TV station in Venezuela because they are critical of Chavez and his socialist policies?

Hmm Van Jones tried this with Glen Beck. Guess Leftism really is a form of insanity cause they keep trying the same thing and epically failing.

Guess Media Matters has got to do something to keep those Soro’s buck flowing to their irrelevant joke of an organization.

Yeah, another kubuki dance for the ‘progressive’ agenda to raise cash.
Guess I’ll have to start watching Fox.

Liberals and the media pals can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

SOOOOOO, the Fascist are crawling out from under the rocks at a record rate. If WE don’t like your form of journalism...WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN.
I thought it was viewership and advertising that determined that? NOT politics. Did the 1st amendment just get erased?

Is this the same Eric Burns who hosts a Fox News program on Sundays about media issues? If so, why the hell is this fifth columnist provided a forum for this?

Foxnews is only part of News Corp, but look at this 3 months of its stock price chart, relating the dates to events etc:

Everyone is already watching FOX. Only ones watching CNN MSNBC and the rest of the fringe media are only family members and some relatives....

It used to follow the Beltway Boys on Sat. PM. I wondered if it was the same guy—sounds like it is. He always had one or two screaming liberals on that show to muck things up.
