Media Matters is a nasty organization. It’s a non-profit that got a tax exemption to correct errors in mass media reporting, but is now an anti-free-speech machine. It tried to throttle Fox News through what it called “guerilla warfare and sabotage,” and it is now trying to destroy Elon Musk’s X.
The anti-X campaign has been so vicious and deceitful that X sued, and attorney generals in Texas and Missouri are investigating. Media Matters is now claiming that these actions are – you guessed it – an attack on free speech. It’s comical to see people who have dedicated their lives to shutting people up – including your servant – suddenly discovering the First Amendment.
Media Matters was set up by a conservative-turned-lefty named David Brock.
By 2003, he had become a worshipper of Hillary Cllinton, calling her “a woman with a steadfast commitment to public service, a clear political vision and a deep well of personal integrity.”
The same New York Times article says Hillary invited him to her home so he could make a pitch to her donors so he could start Media Matters.
Which he did the next year, with millions of dollars and fancy digs on K Street in Washington, DC. He told the Times the group would “closely monitor conservative commentators and journalists and, when they make erroneous or misleading claims, to point them out and set the record straight.”
