“Media Matters” may not matter

Leftist Hate Speech in the Dock

We read:

“A controversial journalist and Republican activist has sued the left-wing Media Matters for America and its founder, David Brock, for slander and invasion of privacy, claiming the nonprofit is a, “hate machine organized and orchestrated to smear conservatives and Republicans who dare to speak out against the liberal orthodoxy and manipulation in the nation’s media.”

Anthony “Andy” Martin served Brock with the lawsuit on Thursday after Media Matters wrote a piece calling Martin an “anti-Semite.” In a letter dated March 30, 2007, Martin demanded a retraction and an apology with a notice that he would sue Brock and Media Matters for defamation/libel if the group did not comply.

“I am writing to ask that you retract your claims on both of your web sites that I am an “anti-Semite” and “actually mentally ill” as there is no basis in fact or law for such claims,” Martin wrote in his letter for retraction.

Conservative Radio Host under Attack

Media Matters seem determined to do Colorado radio host Bob Newman a favour by publicizing his views widely. Newman says that Muslims are dangerous and should be treated accordingly, so that is “hate speech”, of course. And Newman disses a Quaker group! How could he? That the Quaker group itself says that it is devoted to “social justice” (Leftist code for enforced equality — if it were really justice it would not need the adjective in front of it), Newman’s comments about them are probably correct too.

    If conservatives had lived 225 years ago, they would have been called Tories and would have been calling our American Forefathers, terrorists — or whatever the equivalent expression was back then. Fact. http://deanberryministries.net
