Media Matters War on Fox News is Subsidized by the Government

The mainstream media is gearing up to protect Barack Obama all the way to reelection. You may remember the mainstream media failed to report many important things Obama said during the 2008 elections that would have been looked unfavorably by voters. One of the signs the mainstream media is preparing for Obama's election is Media Matters recent shift in thinking.

“The strategy that we had had toward Fox was basically a strategy of containment,” said David Brock, Media Matters’ chairman and founder and a former conservative journalist, adding that the group’s main aim had been to challenge the factual claims of the channel and to attempt to prevent them from reaching the mainstream media.

The new strategy, he said, is a “war on Fox.”

A liberal declaring war. It's becoming the norm in America isn't it? (Think Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, and soon Syria.)

It turns out taxpayers are paying for David Brock and Media Matter's war on Fox News.

MMA was originally established as an Internal Revenue Service Section 501(c)(3) organization, that is, an organization that can receive tax-deductible contributions to engage in educational activities.

In other words, the United States government is giving Media Matters money to declare war on the First Amendment in hopes of shutting down Fox News. It's the modern version of Abraham Lincoln shutting down media outlets he disagreed with during the Civil War.

Media obviously doesn't matter to Media Matters--only liberal biased media matters.
