The liberal group Media Matters has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel.

The article is two pages long but is a must read. Soros and Media Matter is changing the way they operate, and instead of just misquoting conservatives, they are now hiring investigators and more to seriously attack and damage the one single cable stations that will present a conservative viewpoint.

Liberals just cannot deal with free speech. Freedom seems to interfere with their plans somehow.

DUmmies and liberals need to understand the power of the remote control and switch the damn channel if they don't want to watch Fox News.

Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

You forget. It's not just the messenger that they want to kill, but the message.  They don't want anyone to get the truth.

Now don't any of you blink...you might miss this entire war.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Media Matters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and is not permitted to engage in "partisan political activity." 
Quote
David Brock of Media Matters has announced that he is out to harm Rupert Murdoch's business interests. He says that in the article here about what Media Matters intends to do. Now, Media Matters is engaging in illegal activity, therefore. That's prohibited, if you are a 501(c)(3) tax except charity. What Media Matters is doing, you can call it "tortuous interference," which occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships, and this is what Brock has announced: They're out to harm Murdoch's business interests. You cannot use a tax exempt organization to break the law. You cannot use a charity to engage in partisan political activity, and that's all Media Matters has been doing since their interception.

Of course the twits at DoJ who have authority and responsibility to put a stop to these kinds of abuses ::cough:: ::cough:: Holder ::cough:: Obama ::cough:: ::cough:: are too busy orchestrating wars for oil kinetic actions to free the Libyan people, who are to stupid to keep from being collateral damage that doesn't exist because the Kadaffi regime is seeding strike sites with bodies he's kept socked away for just such an occasion...
