Do they believe that the audio clips they supply are fake? I can understand how you can disagree with their analysis, but to dispute the recordings ? How can you dispute footage of someone saying something just because you don't like the source. You can disagree with the analysis, but how can you say that the audio doesn't matter?

They are a known splicer and dicer. They are nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece for the dems and obama. All they do is monitor RW talk radio and Fox News for made up controversies.

Are you serious?

You should be asking the Left this question. Every link from Fox News, even if the story comes from the AP, is summarily dismissed by the Left, same with other so-called RW sites.

See. I prove my point again. Whenever the Left accuses the right of something, they themselves are guilty of tenfold.

So you have proof that they have doctored tapes? Which one? For the record, not showing an entire 60 minute show is not splicing and dicing.

Ok, how does that refute what my ears here? If Beck plays a video of Rev. Wright saying "God damn America" I can dispute the context of the tape and his analysis, but I can't dispute the words uttered.

I'm asking you the question, so it would be nice if you could answer without deflecting. But I'll bite. Most people on the left have a problem with Fox New's analysis and take, not the link, especially if it's from AP. When they do have problem with the links, it's usually links from blogs. I've never heard anyone accuse Fox of doctoring audio tapes themselves. Perhaps sloppy journalism, and even turning a blind eye, but actually doctoring audio tape, nope. The right is more paranoid on this one.

They are hated because, quite simply, their media masters at the FOX propaganda network tell them to hate them. You really don't think a right wing conservative would actually visit Media Matters, or listen to their daily deconstruct of right wing propaganda?

They've also been critical of the New York Times, and call out propaganda and disinformation when and where they find it.

When Democrats use conservative language to promote their agenda, it ultimately creates more support for Republicans.

Becuase they edit clips and take them out of context. They show glenn beck saying crazy things without showing that he was quoting somebody else.

I don't always dismiss it but it is very one sided and if you watch fox and them read what they say on media matters you will realize it is almost propaganda

What do you mean edit? Do you mean they splice tapes and doctor them up?

not really slicing them up they end them at a time to make it sound like somebody was saying something he was not i remember once it showed glenn beck saying how segragation was good and black will make whites sick with there diseases. What they didn't sohw was that he was quoting woodrow wilson who he hates. That was the most blatant example i remember
