There is no question their mission remains to assault Fox News, sometimes intelligently and fairly so, and in ways that Media Matters’ donors would and should most certainly relish. But often these days, a one sided media watchdog serves little practical purpose, and their posts feel at best like comfort food for like-minded believers of their mission, and at worst, the antics of a class clown starving for attention.
Media Matters was once a pioneering project that is now generating lower quality content than ever before. And with surprisingly small readership and diminishing sphere of influence (particularly considering how well-funded they are) maybe their donors should be asking if that money could be better spent funding websites where the Media actually Matters.
