Media Matters founding idiot David Brock is not only laughed at by those of us on the right, he's also seen as a joke by the clowns on the left he shills for.

Here are some choice excerpts from an article put out by the Daily Beast.


Dems to David Brock: Stop Helping, You Are Killing Us
Democrats know they need someone to lead them out of the wilderness. But, they say, that someone is not David Brock.

Excerpt

“I don’t think David Brock has been helpful to the party to date, and I don’t think he will be a big part of its future,” a former senior Clinton campaign official told The Daily Beast. “And it’s surprising that many other people don’t see it that way.”

Another senior 2016 Clinton aide, who asked not to be named because the ex-staffer did “not want to deal with Brock’s bull****,” described Brock and his organizations in 2016 as “useless—you might as well have thrown those [tens of] millions of dollars down a well, and then set the well on fire.”

Snip

Two sources told The Daily Beast that in the last couple of months Brock and his team reached out to former Clinton campaign officials, including ex-national press secretary Brian Fallon, to join Brock’s new anti-Trump “war room.” All, however, declined the offer simply because “no one wants anything to do with him,”

Snip

“I met with him a couple times—he’s ****ing weird,” a former Obama administration official, who also requested anonymity, told The Daily Beast. “I felt like I was meeting Mugatu from Zoolander… I don’t know what the **** [Brock’s network] did besides raise a ton of money, and I don’t think the after-action report on 2016 says we need more David Brock. Probably the opposite is true.”

Let's be frank... Brock is totally fruit loops and actually manages to be more dishonest in real life than his progressive propaganda rag Media Matters is.

It's amazing how many people on this site have used Media Matters as a source.

Find a post where I used Breitbart. I don't even read Breitbart. I might have used the Daily Mail. I couldn't tell you if I did or didn't. I don't usually read the Daily Mail. Is the Daily Mail inherently bias towards Trump?

You didn't answer the question. Are they bias towards Trump? I don't want to make an erroneous assumption.

The world isn't in black and white. You asked if they were inherently biased towards Trump.

In reality, they are inherently biased towards sensastionalism and exaggeration. It's a financial bias: big, catchy, ridiculous headlines get clicks. Clicks equate to advertising revenue. While being ridiculous, exaggerating, and outright lying will often line up with Donald Trump, it is not inherently biased in his favor. If Donald Trump flies on Air Force One with a former porn star as a passenger, they'd gladly print a headline like "SEX ORGY ON TRUMP FORCE ONE?" (see there's a question mark so they aren't technically lying)

As is all media. Let's get back on track here.

I said this:
"It's amazing how many people on this site have used Media Matters as a source. "
To which you replied with this:
"Says someone who will happily post Breitbart, Daily Mail, etc. "

You accused me of favoring the Daily Mail and Breitbart. We have established that I don't even read Breitbart. I hardly even read the Daily Mail but I would like to clear this up for the future, just in case I decide, for some inane reason, to use the Daily Mail. You don't seem to approve to the Daily Mail as a news source. How is the Daily Mail politically bias as a news source? Do they have a bias for Trump? What are your objections about The Daily Mail as a news source? Is it a political issue or just something that popped into your post?
 
Haha, poor David Brock. I saw he released a statement of apology to the Sanders people, because he sent out legions of attack bots during the Democratic Primary.

He's trying to get in good with the progressive wing. It's been the only part of the Democratic party that hasn't run off to the woods since Trump took over. Brock is a piece of trash.

Good luck, Sanders people voraciously supported him and won't have short memories concerning the shenanigans of the Democratic Primary.
