Blogger Discovers 'Media Matters' Using Clinton Admin Operatives as Official Agents
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/06/2007 4:08:08 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Blogger Conservative Belle has a penchant for getting to the bottom of stories. You'll remember that a couple weeks ago, she discovered that the fallen soldier whose name David Shuster blamed Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) for not knowing had his official residence in another district. It was a Dem congressman, not Blackburn, whom the Department of the Army had notified of the soldier's death.

Conservative Belle [or "CB," as we like to call her] has gone Sherlock Holmes again today. And this time, she's discovered that "Media Matters," the outfit that denies that Hillary Clinton [contrary to her assertion as pictured here] helped start it, just happens to use as official agents a firm whose head honchos include . . . two senior political operatives from the Clinton adminstration.

CB also has unearthed some interesting information suggesting that in its solicitation of donations, "Media Matters" may be running afoul of the rules in a state near and dear to its DC home.

Check out CB's column: Media Matters - Coincidental Clinton Connections in Colorado?

"because no one will hear about these revelations other than political junkies like we who read FR"

You have a point, to a point...

I would bet that alot of people tuned in to Rush this past week and got an earfull of what the dbm did not want them to hear..Something many of them had not heard before...

Primarily that the leftist in the media and in the congress and senate are bald faced liars and will stoop to any level to advance their agenda...

That Harry Reid would attempt to intimidate and threaten the employment of a private citizen of the U.S. from the well of the Senate is not something that is just going to go away...

A new light will now be shinning on this group that calls itself Media Matters every time their name comes up as a source for a story disparaging conservatives and/or republicans...

Who are these guys???

Hilary, you can't erase the tape...

They're your guys...

Media Madhatters may as well close their doors. Nobody is going to take them serious again. It has now been confirmed they are just a part of the Chinese Mafia War Room.

I’ve said that for years. I was flamed here on FR for suggesting that we sometimes have to get as dirty as our opponents. “Oh, no. We mustn’t fight like them. We have to remain above them,” they said.

They are dirty and they are cheaters. There is a mountain of dirty secrets and skeletons to uncover. The sooner we discover those secrets and expose them, the sooner the moderates and soft liberals we see what a bunch of lowlife Stalinist tyrants they have been carrying water for.

I think Madame H. will regret going after Rush:



Rush: Folks, I am more energized and focused on the task of advancing liberty and victory than ever before. I am more energized and focused on the task of defeating Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton than ever before. I will not rest. I'm not going to stop until they are exposed, until they are pushed back and defeated. They must not control our government; they must not be put in charge of our military; they must not gain the power they crave to shut down talk radio and free speech wherever they don't like it. They must not control anything in which our future is at stake. Let me add another point about all this. It has not gone unnoticed here that only a handful of Republicans and conservatives have dared to speak up about what has been taking place here. I see it. Most of them think I can handle these things on my own and so forth, but there's a fear out there. The fear and the weakness that permeates the Republican Party, and even parts of the conservative movement is also on display now, as it has been for too long.

They know they can count on the MSM to put a lid on any of their dirty or lying activities.

Maybe...maybe not. If enough buzz erupts on the internet, they may not be able to contain it.

The CBS fake document scam comes to mind.

"Maybe...maybe not. If enough buzz erupts on the internet, they may not be able to contain it."

true enough, but Media Matters won't care - they will have already moved on to the next hit and run victim. And they will stick by their position even when its been thouroughly discredited - Like the NY Times which sticks by the "polar bears stranded on the melting iceburg" story even though that's been totally discredited as a fraud.

Remember, the objective of Media Matters wasn’t to trash Rush and O’Reilley - that was their tactic. The objective was to change the subject from the General “Betray-us” scandal which was hurting the Dems. And they were very successful. Whether their allegations are discredited doesn’t matter, changing the subject and putting the conservatives on the defensive is what matters.

Wish I could know if Rush and bill o'reilly both are aware of this connection. And would love to know the names of the two klinton operatives who are agents of media matters If there is ANYONE who can get a tape of hitlery saying she started up media matters---it will be played and played until millions have it memorized. Both of these men DISPISE media matters, as well they should. And so should every truth seeking American.

The klintons will STOP AT NOTHING. There is not ANYTHING they will not do to win power, and that goes for the dirtbags they hire, as well.

They’ve probably been banned by now, outed as trolls.

I expect nothing less from the *Crinton crime family...
