Supposing there's merit to what you're saying, nonprofits aren't compelled to be impartial. That's why, just to give you two examples, there are many antiabortion and sexual purity nonprofits. Conservatives are just as capable of forming a 501(3)c devoted solely to exposing so-called liberal media bias. Hop to it.




There was a time, in this country, when a journalist would report on a story no matter which side of the aisle it cast in a bad light. That began to change when CNN came along and was loathed to do stories that cast any dispersion on the left.

FOX news took the same sort of partisan journalism and did it better than CNN, look at the ratings, but why you hate FOX isn’t that they’re doing it better than CNN, you hate it because they’re not doing it for your side.

Media Matters is just the latest iteration of the same sort of thing. Conservatives laugh at them when they say they are being a fair watchdog, just as liberals laugh when FOX news says they’re fair and balanced.



I love when you say stuff like this because it just proves you have no idea what you are talking about. Media Matters has never claimed to be anything of the sort. From their website:

About Us

Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.

Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time.

Using the website mediamatters.org as the principal vehicle for disseminating research and information, Media Matters posts rapid-response items as well as longer research and analytic reports documenting conservative misinformation throughout the media. Additionally, Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.

Your ignorance seems to be growing young jedi. That is to be expected from a conservative.

MM does a great job achieving their stated goals.

Fox News does well because conservatives love to be lied to on a nightly basis. They love to hear how everything is the other guys fault. How conservatives never do anything wrong and all the problems are the fault of the other guy. It's a great world to live in. It's all pure bullshit, but so what. It makes them happy.

CNN covers the news. Sometimes in the news conservatives look like douchebags. Well if you are conservative you can't handle that. Then it's "an attack" on them. Regardless if it's true or not. They are like children that can't handle any criticism.
