Wake up and smell the coffee.

It seems even the WaPo realized what a bad idea this was - are they liars now too?

washingtonpost.com



They were caught pimping themselves out to the obama administration.
Again, no facts presented.

Just a repeat of the original story and the OP's de-facto admission that they do not understand how our contemporary press works.

I've used Wikipedia to show how little criticism of Media Matters there is outside of the nutty right.

If you insist.

Calling out Media Matters' bias - First Read - msnbc.com

John Gibson and Mark Levin Rip Media Matters on Liberal Bias Lies | NewsBusters.org

Who are these guys?

Mmmm

Media Matters Funded By A Secret Group | Sweetness & Light

Switching allegiances -- Newsday.com


Ah the real David Brock, did FAIR just call him a liar?


The Real David Brock:


Wow did Michael Barrone just call him a liar

Judge Silberman's response to David Brock's book - Michael Barone (usnews.com)

That's enough for now.

Some advice:

Go with a proven neutral source (Wikipedia), and leave out the admittedly partisan in order to figure out just who is "Making brown circles in the pool".

I borrowed that line from Art Cashin of UBS, as often quoted on CNBC's Market Wrap.

Cashin is a true aluminum siding salesman, but I always liked that line of his.

Gibson??

Newsday??
Barone??

You gotta be out there.

Check it out folks he decides Wiki is non partisan, I don't think our friend knows how entries are made.

Next he doesn't like my sources however one of them was a source he used FAIR.

I think we all know what we are dealing with here. It really would be sad if it weren't so funny.

Happy 4th all!!

So is it a GOOD thing that I don't recognize any of the names that both right and left are posting here ?

Really? WaPo just cancelled this very bad idea.

Do you even read the links or just declare any post you don't agree with irrelevant?

Not really Michael Barone is as mainstream as they get. A regular on the Suday talk show circuit and US News and World Report contributor. Chuck Todd is a contributor to MSNBC and is to the left.

Newsday is left leaning newspaper out of Long Island.

FAIR is a liberal media watchdog group.

All of these are mainstream outlets, and journalists

Republicans Are Normal, Democrats Are Not - Michael Barone (usnews.com)


Republicans Are Normal, Democrats Are Not

"March 30, 2009 03:30 PM ET | MichaelBarone | Permanent Link | Print
By MichaelBarone, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
My U.S. News column this week is on the roadblocks the Obama administration is encountering to its expansive budget and economic policies."

Now tell me the one about the Three little Pigs............

You honestly do not understand the playing field, do you??

US News is the magazine-mouthpiece- of Wall Street and the multinats.

They will use the Faux crowd like most people use toilet paper- and for the same reason.

See, the TRUE rich are very rich, but lack numbers because that's how it works when a few control so much of the wealth.

Therefore to get some numbers they have to convince someboby..... anybody.... in the former Middle Class to vote against their own economic interests.

So, Barone and ilk will do- say- anything to keep their hegemonic situation in our political system.

Don't you get it unless Media Matter says Media Matters is biased it can't be so.

Everyone else is a corporate owned stooge. MM is the lone bastion of impartiality.
