Medai Matters lies, always has, always will

PB... I can't help you if you refuse to actually read the linked pieces, or if you're simply unable to understand them.

BTW... When I post a link saying a certain MMA story is a lie... and my link explains the lie in detail... and you then post the MMA article mine called a lie, and call that proof that MMA did not lie, well, it's just immature and stupid.

“MEDIA MATTERS Watch” : Media Matters’ Falsehoods Exposed!
The linke page has links to the specifics for each of these, exposing MMA for the lying scumbags they are.

1. "Media Matters’ Bogus Attack on Bill O’Reilly’s ‘Culture Warrior’ Rife With Dishonesty and Deception" : A September 2006 attempt by Media Matters to discredit Bill O’Reilly’s Culture Warrior book teems with misinformation and dishonesty. Folks, it’s a long post, but that’s the way it goes.

2. "Media Matters’ Dishonesty Exposed in Bogus ‘O’Reilly Factor’ Study": Are you familiar with any of those questionable "studies" that Media Matters occasionally puts out? A May 2006 "study" claimed that the guest list on FNC’s The O’Reilly Factor is "dominated" by Republicans and conservatives. Our post unequivocally shreds this claim by clearly illustrating how MMatters inaccurately labeled the guests to get their desired result. Check out this post.

3. "Another False Claim From Media Matters; This One on Global Warming": One of Media Matters’ common ploys is to claim that a particular pundit made a "false claim" or "repeated falsehoods." As it turns out, the "falsehood" or "false claim" often isn’t one at all! Here is a good example.

4. "More Misinformation From Media Matters in False Attack on Bill O’Reilly": Here is a nice and easy example of Media Matters getting their data wrong. Honest criticism is one thing … Shoddy research is another …

5. “Where’s the Misinformation?”: A June 2006 post blared the title, "Lauer joined O’Reilly in serving up misinformation on Today." The problem? Media Matters didn’t provide any so-called "misinformation." Oops!

6. "Media Matters Posted Inaccurate ‘Transcript’ To Falsely Claim That Chris Matthews ‘Praised’ Conservative Ad": Isn’t Media Matters’ obsession with Chris Matthews surreal? A July 2006 Hardball segment addressed a controversial television ad from North Carolina Senate candidate Vernon Robinson. Media Matters claimed that Matthews "praised" the ad. No, he didn’t. Read this post, and see how MMatters posted an incomplete transcript to make their bogus claim.

7. "More Deception From Media Matters in False Attack on Ann Coulter": In this post, we take apart Media Matters’ false attack on the endnotes in Ann Coulter’s Godless book. Here are several textbook examples of dishonesty from Media Matters.

No, of course you didn't; Media Matters can do no wrong. Hopefully at this size you won't be able to skip over it, though.

The original headline, courtesy of my first OP link...
Media Matters headline: Coulter suggests she might let three U.S. cities be bombed, depending on which cities they are.
Click to expand...

MMA's altered headline...
Coulter says if three U.S. cities were attacked, her response would be, "Which three U.S. cities?"*

Sounds to me like some right-wing nut job must have hacked MMA's site and changed the headline. ;)

FactCheck.org: Body Armor Claim: Still False and Nasty
Both VoteVets.org and another liberal group, Media Matters for America, objected to our 2006 article debunking the original version of this ad. In a running dispute, both still insist the original ad was correct. We continue to find their arguments unconvincing...
their article never addressed the central fact that the Pentagon already was buying all the body armor that could be produced, using existing funds, at the time of the two votes. Appropriating additional money would have made no difference.

Voting against those partisan measures (each died on mostly party-line votes) could not have prevented a single vest from reaching our troops in Iraq. Claiming that these constituted votes "against giving our troops" body armor is a false accusation.

We rest our case.

About That Media Matters Ad – Fact Check | Lee Hernly
Last night, Media Matters finally got to air their TV ad on Fox News that supposedly skewers News Corp, parent company of Fox News, for donating $1 million dollars to the Republican Governors Association. I guess somehow Media Matters is trying to cast a shadow on Fox by playing up its Republican favoritism.

But, the ad is misleading at best.

You see, Fox (err News Corp) has given money to both parties over the years. Up until this year, News Corp had also given money to Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

A good rule of thumb is to always fact check what Media Matters says.

I just LOVE shoving MMA's lies down their throats. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

Actually, I did notice it. They turned it into a direct quote, but made no comment about it, only that she said it.

So they alerted the reader that the title was changed, that sounds like a good thing to me.

The same tactics to do what?

This thread is on those lying liberal scumbags you worship, and has nothing to do with George Bush. Why don't you start a thread on Bush like a good little liberal and stop your continuous, and quite frankly pathetic effort to avoid the reality of what Media Matters really is?

Gee... Sorry if making an obvious observation ranks as "trolling" to you. Maybe I should just try and derail every thread like he does, that way I can gain your coveted "approval".

Yeah. And in changing it, they at least tacitly acknowledged something about themsevles that you're unwilling to.

But I very much doubt you noticed it.
