Jim Quinn lands on media watchdog's radar (Media Matters Target)
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | January 26, 2009 | Adrian McCoy

Media Matters thinks Jim Quinn's hot-button speeches can be hazardous to listeners, so he gets a "radioactive" rating from the watchdog group.

You can follow what the top syndicated talk hosts are saying -- and you don't even have to listen -- thanks to media watchdog groups who monitor them on a daily basis.

Media Matters, which launched in 2004, is a progressive/liberal organization whose site monitors all media -- print, broadcast and Web. Its "Radioactive" section is devoted to extensive coverage of syndicated talk radio.

The site monitors well-known nationally syndicated hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others who reach large audiences. In recent months, WPGB-FM (104.7) morning host Jim Quinn has been appearing on its radar occasionally.

Media Matters was founded by David Brock, who had written about the Clinton-era Troopergate controversy and the book "The Real Anita Hill." His conversion from right-leaning journalism is detailed in his memoir, "Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative."

No doubt about it.. In a hyperbolic situation (like now).. Resorting to hyperbole could be spreading THE TRUTH.. AND that any word that is NOT HYPERBOLE could be dis-information or even a lie.. How can you, then, describe the/a situation accurately without hyperbole.. probably you CAN'T..

Electing a jug eared clodhopper that is Marxist as President could qualify as hyperbolic, I posit.. As surely a hyperbolic situation as I can think of.. Moderates are then spreading dis-information.. maybe even propaganda..

Watch out for moderates because they are trying to "TRICK YOU" -OR- bewitch you.. into believeing a LIE.. RINOs are dangerous propagandists.. You know, like John McLaim...

Calling Media Matters a watchdog organization is like calling a poodle a bloodhound. Media Matters is a lapdog for the left wing.

“Media Matters, which launched in 2004, is a progressive/liberal organization whose site monitors all media — print, broadcast and Web. Its “Radioactive” section is devoted to extensive coverage of syndicated talk radio.”

It is a George Soros operation that engages in a political witchhunt of “the opposition”. They selective redact statements from programs to deliberately distort passages.

They are positively Stalinist in their approach and given far too much credibility by the Pravda media.

So in this context, being “Radioactive” is a good thing.
