Emails reveal Justice Dept. regularly enlists Media Matters to spin press

Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.

Dozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Emails sent in September and November 2010 show Schmaler working with Media Matters staffer Jeremy Holden on attacking news coverage of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation scandal.

It's nice to see documented proof of this kind of thing, but if there were any doubts about whether or not Barry and his boys use the lefty media in all manner of ways to paint the lefty way, folks have been asleep at the wheel again.  :whatever:

They're a liberal 501(c)(3), so it's ok...

You know what?  It's not OK.  What happened to rule of law?  I'm not naive but come on.  Shouldn't some entity sue?

Exactly. It'll be left to the Attorney General Levin and/or Secretary of the Treasury Laffer to prosecute violations of tax law after 20 Jan 2013

I found one thread about this on Skin's Island.

They don't seemed to worried about, but then they don't know the full story, because one of the DUmmies posted a link with a shiny object in it.
