Keep watching MMfA. One of these days, we’re going to see a website actually burst a blood vessel for the very first time. I hope someone gets a screencap.

Hopefully that will be the first week in 2008 Pablo.

John from WuzzaDem, that is an incredible link. Had no idea. I thought of him as a monster before. The only good thing about Soros is that he is as old as he is. He’s one of the ugliest beings in the world, in all he undertakes and stands for, having milked the very system he so condemns.

Well, Soros know a Nazi country when he sees one.

[60 Minutes' Steve] KROFT: [You] Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews. Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.

Later:

KROFT: No feeling of guilt? Mr. SOROS: No.

I love watching the brownshirt left eat their own young.

JaHerer22,

Until a credible, truly non-partisan source exists for exposing factual inaccuracies and slant towards one side in the news we’ll be forced to do it on our own.

MMfA isn’t terribly concerned with factual inaccuracies, and there are none in the Obama story in question. If a story isn’t delivered with their approved hard left spin, MMfA is going to bark about it. Not so with Newsbusters…unless you’d like to provide some similar examples.

You're spelling it wrong. It's "Media Matters for Amerika". Similar goals, too.

Media Matters and Newsbusters are both worthless, laughable organizations. They both put themselves on a pedestal as some sort of media watchdog, exposing bias and standing up for truth, when in reality they are two of the most partisan and demagogic organizations around.

You can’t be a media watchdog if you’re only going to tell one side of the story. Until a credible, truly non-partisan source exists for exposing factual inaccuracies and slant towards one side in the news we’ll be forced to do it on our own. Both of these sites are a joke and not worth anyone’s time.

The spiders have detected one attempting to crawl out of the box and are now flailing in their attempts to get it back where it belongs. The notion of political reporting that is independent of the political agenda of a news conglomerate is very dangerous to them. People might actually start reading it. That it might be their own fault for slanting the news causing readers to go elsewhere for perspective doesn’t dawn on them.

Expect the attacks on Politico to now increase from all media because Sorros has now signaled that Politico is fair game. The Post and The NY Times will be next to slam Politico, just watch. Politico is a threat to their stranglehold on political reporting. A free and independent press is the last thing the Democrats ever want to see.

Tips are immoral and wrong. Unless they involve GOP corruption rumors. In which case, I bet Media Matters would laud the tip as critical to democracy.

I don’t imagine that the fact that the story in question is of the sort Soros and company don’t want published has anything to do with the purple rage on display at MMfA.

No, when people discuss things among themselves without MoveOn.org involvement, it’s a conspiracy. And we all know how evil conspiracies are.

Keep watching MMfA. One of these days, we’re going to see a website actually burst a blood vessel for the very first time. I hope someone gets a screencap.

George Soros bathes himself in the moisture of my soiled and bloodstained underwear.

Well, from my POV, the whole left is incessantly engaged in pretending to be something that they are not.

Media Matters is just upset that Drudge didn’t wait 24 business hours before posting.

I care because it’s entertaining to watch MMfA pretend to be something that they’re not.

Wow…I guess once you start writing a story it is your intellectual property.

All of us here have had our intellectual property stolen. We type with our fat fingers while the next guy types with his fast fingers and then slam down the ‘Submit’ button. Lo and behold NeoConNaziFengSui has posted my thoughts two minutes before I did. What to do? Sue the bastard!

It’s obvious that wackiness, stupidity, or downright insanity is excused when the person is wealthy. If Soros had no money, he would be wandering the streets of the city mumbling to himself and carrying “The End is Near” signs. But wealth sometimes gives a person some credibility even when undeserved.

My grandfather, God rest his soul, was on his death bed. He beckoned me to his side. I grabbed his hand, tears streaming down my face. I said, “What is it Grandaddy?” For the first time in a long time his eyes appeared clear and his last words I’ll never forget:

“Matticus, never trust a gypsy or a Hungarian.”

Mr. Soros needs to de-clownify Media Matters for America.

Not a chance. He’s probably proud of it.

Why do you care, Bryan? We all know who they are.

Is it Soros or Greenwald that has you so incensed?
