Media Matters for America (MMfA) must be really afraid of Andrew Breitbart. Once again, he’s their number one target for elimination from mainstream media appearances–even ahead of conservative media luminary Rush Limbaugh, whom MMfA hates with a passion.

The above attack, on MMfA’s front page, is pathetic in form and function. (Note to MMfA editors: “vigorously” only has one “u,” unless you’re not writing to be read by Americans.)

MMfA’s intent is not to respond to anything Breitbart said on CNN–where he defended South Carolinians and conservatives against mainstream media attacks–but to protest the fact that he appeared on CNN.

And what, according to MMfA, has Breitbart said or done that would justify his exclusion from American public discourse? Let’s take each claim in turn: (more…)

Media Matters appears fixated on a mission to try and silence the free speech of Big Journalism editor Dana Loesch, while also engaging upon a campaign to somehow damage her with CNN. True to their Leftist origins, it never seems enough for them to disagree, or even take offense, at someone, or something, they invariably resort to attempting to silence them. Such thuggish tactics have no place in media, least of all in America. Perhaps they are mis-named.

Now, they’d like their readers to believe that somehow Rush Limbaugh has rejected Loesch’s comments. But that’s simply not true.

Dana Loesch’s comments, too extreme for Rush Limbaugh, put her out on the fringe where CNN should never go.

Certainly, Limbaugh has his own opinion, one that MMfA would likely desire to shut down every bit as much as they now seem intent on silencing Loesch. However, Limbaugh also took to task the very type of over-reaction in which Media Matters is now engaged, over-reaction that was Loesch’s original point. Evidently, MMfA is too blinded by their mission to realize Limbaugh may as well have been speaking directly to them, given their current misguided efforts aimed at Loesch. Emphasis mine.

Well, there’s a video, nobody knows how old it is, of some U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of Taliban combatants in Afghanistan. Peed on them. And of course it’s Marines. It violated the rules. There’s no defense of this. The overreaction of this is nuts, but still it happened.

It’s worth noting that, while obsessively attacking Loesch in post after post, they’ve yet to acknowledge the comments of Representative Alan West (Fl).

I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?

The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.

MMfA also ignored the scores of other conservatives who’ve said the same, some beyond, Loesch’s original point on reaction.

If I have to do one more piece on correcting Tommy Christopher’s silly bias, I’m going to start charging Mediaite for copy-editing.

Christopher recently wrote a post attacking Rush Limbaugh and later Ann Coulter for criticizing Romney at CPAC and then “praising” him; her remarks were used in a recent Democrat attack ad. He writes this of me:

Now, this is not a knock on Coulter so much. She’s certainly not the first conservative commentator to do a Linda Blair when it became convenient. Big Journalism Editor Dana Loesch praised Mitt Romney (and voted for him) in 2008, only to turn around and scrub the evidence four years later so she could claim she was against Romney in 2008, and still is. Rush Limbaugh went from calling Romney the “embodiment” of the conservative stool, in 2008, to saying “Mitt Romney is not a conservative” in 2011.

Quickly, because there are more important things to do: I didn’t “scrub” any “evidence.” In fact, I’ve never deleted a single post. It’s all still there. Christopher’s bias leads him to omit this discussion I had of the situation, wherein I discussed voting for Romney as a strategy to eliminate John McCain in the 2008 primaries. I felt at the time that McCain was more dangerous than Romney. McCain worked to regulate free speech with McCain-Feingold. That had a national impact. Romneycare was socialism at the state level. One had national implications, one did not. Perhaps I should write this post in pictures so that Christopher can understand the strategy. I say that with love and hugs.

News reporters have always loved the reference to those vicious animals that protect the junk yards late at night. Some of the most frightening, realistic scenes from movies depict the bad guy climbing over a chain link fence only to be confronted by a large, nasty looking creature that has been trained to destroy intruders. Once the junk yard dog latches on, there is no letting go and … well …you know how this story usually ends, and it isn’t pretty for the perp.

The best news reporters love the junk yard dog reference. Every news room has at least one of them and they are not just the junk yard dogs, they are the Alpha Dogs in the news room. “I will take you down!” Or something like that, is what the promos usually say.

We have two very clear examples of news stories that need junk yard dogs: Solyndra and Fast and Furious. The list is long on potential scandals here.

Solyndra is the so-called “Green Energy” company that blew more than half-a-billion of our tax dollars in less than two years (stimulus anyone?). Fast and Furious is the gun running operation to Mexico that was approved and perpetuated by the Obama administration and has led to at least two deaths of U.S. enforcement agents. Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder has already been caught in an apparent lie over what he knew and when he knew it. The President stands behind Holder, even after these facts have been reported.

Tell me there isn’t something there to latch on to that might ruin the perfect crease in his pants.

The media has started to cover these stories. Started. Props have been given here on BigJournalism to reporters, like Jake Tapper of ABC and Sharyl Attkisson of CBS who have started digging into these issues. Rush Limbaugh calls them “random acts of journalism.”

So far, groundwork has been laid by these reporters on Solyndra and Fast and Furious and they stand apart from the much larger group of poodles hiding in the corner “covering” this administration. To preserve our democracy we need junk yard dogs covering any administration.

This morning, Big Government posted video from an event at the National Press Club at which Faya Rose Touré (formerly Rose Sanders), an attorney from the $2.7 billion Pigford “black farmers” discrimination settlement, revealed major flaws in the claims process. Her statements support previous reporting by Big Government and Big Journalism–reporting which Media Matters ruthlessly and wrongly attacked as false.

At the same press conference, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and the Nation of Islam (NOI) joined in a barrage of racist, antisemitic, and homophobic rhetoric that went unreported by the mainstream media, though the event took place within their very own clubhouse.

The newly released video confirms much of what Pigford’s critics have been saying, destroying previous attempts by George Soros’s Big Labor-funded minions at Media Matters to hide the truth.

From Breitbart media’s earliest reporting on the Pigford settlement, Media Matters began recklessly hurling accusations of racism, and lying about Andrew Breitbart and others’ writing about the issue, while discounting facts now shown to be correct.

In hindsight, that appears to have been an orchestrated effort to suppress the truth behind Pigford and potentially keep the scandal from surfacing in mainstream media outlets.

It is an effort that has failed.

For example, Media Matters tried to dispel any link between Pigford and the New Black Panther Party (“Race-baiting confluence: On Breitbart site, Adams links Pigford to New Black Panthers“).

What a phony-baloney plastic banana good-time rock-and-roll optic photo-op that was. — Rush Limbaugh

In an article titled  ”Michelle Obama’s Target Trip,” Politico palace guards for Obama and buries the lead:

Never has a Target dash caused such a ruckus. Jennifer Lopez could probably shop at Target without creating a stir equal to that caused by the first lady after she made an unannounced, midafternoon trip Thursday to the mega-retailer in Alexandria, Va. …

A matter causing some suspicion about the trip is how an Associated Press photographer happened to be in position to catch the first lady — in baseball hat, sunglasses, flowered top, with tan purse and shopping bags — leaving the store.

“Good source work,” said Paul Colford, a spokesman for the wire service in New York.

The pictures were taken by Charles Dharapak, a veteran White House photographer for The Associated Press. The well-regarded Dharapak cheerfully declined to give POLITICO an exclusive on his exclusive.

“We have been besieged with interview requests, but Charlie has done not a single one,” Colford said.

Oh, it was just “good source work.”

Then why isn’t the photographer talking? Why no interviews? What we have here is a member of the media refusing to report. Are you suspicious, because I’m suspicious.  But do you want to know who isn’t suspicious? Politico.

Newsweek magazine has brought the subject of media bias to the forefront with this week’s cover photo and headline.  It features a photo of Republican congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann with a crazed look behind the intentionally nasty headline, “Queen of Rage.” Even the most naïve reader could not believe the article would be anything close to an evenhanded look at who Ms. Bachmann is and what she stands for.

This might surprise some journalists, but readers/viewers are much smarter than most of them think they are. They can spot media bias a mile off even when members of the media think they are getting away with it. Here are seven transparent ways media bias is detected by readers/viewers and what journalists can do about it.

Context: A journalist might edit down a 25-word comment into five-words to make someone they don’t like look foolish.  What to do about it: Be honest and keep quotes and themes in context.

Facts: Recently MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow played a quote by radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh which she said was “made earlier this week.”  It wasn’t. It was made over a year earlier, and it is highly likely the host knew it when she played it. What to do about it: Report the facts even if they are not as you want them to be.

Freaks and fringers: Media bias is spotted immediately when a journalist seeks out the most ridiculous representation of a subject or group they are covering. It happened many times with the media coverage of the tea party rallies as well as the Wisconsin state legislature’s battle over union issues earlier this year. What to do about it: Get your information from serious representatives and not freaks and fringers. (more…)

Chris Matthews has always been somewhat of an enigma. He’s not a good anchor, which is why he can’t draw an audience, yet he remains on the air, which is why I asked long ago whether someone was subsidizing him.

On a similar note, John McCain’s re-election to the Senate in 2010 was nearly inexplicable (unless you take into account the fact that he, Mister “get the money out of politics,” dumped $20,000,000.00 into his re-election campaign). To be honest, all that money is the only feasible explanation for how he secured another term during an election cycle that witnessed Tea Party candidates wiping the floor with nearly everyone else.

Speaking of the Tea Party, that reminds me that Matthews and McCain have something else in common – they both hate the Tea Party. Matthews hates it because it’s full of people who don’t care about what he thinks and who can’t be intimidated into shutting up and acting like good RINOS (Republicans-In-Name-Only). McCain hates it for the same reasons, plus the fact that they see right through his “Maverick” façade.

In a word, the tea party poses a political impediment to both men insomuch as it literally stands to undo the big government that Matthew and McCain have fought so hard to preserve.

This is why it really was no shock to see Matthews throw a love fest for McCain on Thursday, July 28, because McCain stood on the Senate floor and referred to tea party candidates from 2008 as “hobbits.” (McCain did this because that little temper of his got the best of him again, and he simply couldn’t handle knowing a small group of Tea Party conservatives in the House of Representatives managed to stall debt ceiling talks to the point of almost ending them altogether.)

While reading through newspaper stories about Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s cowardly attacks on Congressman Allen West earlier in the week, I came across an even more repulsive attack on him from a Palm Beach Post columnist named Frank Cerabino: the latter was especially repugnant because of the fact that it was full of haughtiness and a not-so-veiled attack against West’s military pride.

Dated October 20, 2010, Cerabino’s column was obviously part of a larger attempt to prevent West from being elected to Congress in November of that same year (and fortunately, it was an effort that failed).

In the column, Cerabino mocks Congressman West for writing articles that appeared in a biker magazine. Thus he refers to West as an “unhinged future AM-radio talk-show host” and “a regular contributor to Wheels on the Road, a South Florida bikers magazine bursting with right-wing political commentary.”

Elsewhere in the column, Cerabino haughtily remarked that he hadn’t known West was a “fellow columnist” until he found out about the West’s work in Wheels on the Road. The clear intent of this statement was to demonstrate Cerabino’s superiority because he was writing for the Post while West was writing for a lowly biker magazine. (Note to Cerabino – I’d rather read the biker magazine.)

Anyway, Cerabino’s column also took the criticism of Congressman West to new levels by mocking the pride West takes in his military service. Wrote Cerabino: “[West has] a penchant for wearing his Army jump wings on civilian blazers.” (Note to Cerabino – mocking a Republican’s pride in the military might be the cool thing to at the cocktail parties which the Post’s columnists attend, but in heartland American it’s viewed as despicable.)

Now, before anyone gets all bent out of shape and sends me emails about how Cerabino was in the Navy years ago and therefore can’t be accused of mocking the military, please note that I know he was in the Navy. Please also note that John Kerry served in Vietnam, yet he described our troops fighting in Iraq as terrorists.

John Avlon, of no-labels shame, who also writes at the Daily Beast, has penned another hit piece on the supposed demise of conservative talk radio: The Right-Wing Talk-Radio Flame Out. My, oh my, … however will Conor with one N control himself? But this alleged demise has been predicted for 20 years.  Still, Avlon can hope - after all, he has another book to sell.

Avlon believes the future is ideologically muddled radio, the likes of Michael Smerconish and John Batchelor.  That’s right, muddle will drive listeners to the radio.  In fact, Avalon’s a frequent guest on Batchelor’s show, should we be surprised?  I can enjoy and have enjoyed Batchelor for his overseas and war reporting via various correspondents. But he tends to be muddled on domestic politics.

What Avlon conveniently ignores are the various host’s total syndication numbers and time-slots. Not only are the hosts he mentions barely syndicated, I’m unaware of any station that has built their entire schedule around one of them, as so many have done and still do with Rush, for example. And given their time slots, perhaps who Avlon is really missing is Art Bell. He could probably do a phone in from Schenectady in the evening and dominate the numbers; not to slight George Noory, or anything!

The objective of Media Matters For America (MMFA) is to tell half-truths, spin, distort and well … let’s face it, they will do anything except deal with the facts in order to try and discredit anyone who disagrees with the Progressive agenda as outlined by their favorite rich guy, George Soros, the “Dude” of “Spooky.” But you have to hand it to them, sometimes they are so creative in their methods.

Take their homepage from the other day:

Looking at the screen shot, one would think that they would present proof that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Andrew Breitbart are being disingenuous about their “birther” positions. But when you open up to the items inside it becomes reminiscent of that old song from Sesame Street,

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

In the article teased by the cover story Hannity is mentioned 18x, Limbaugh is mentioned 20x and Andrew Breitbart is mentioned….wait let me count…ah zero times. Breitbart is showcased in the picture, right there over headline, but he isn’t part of the story about flip-flopping about the “birther” issue.

Giving MMFA the benefit of the doubt (something they don’t practice) I considered the possibility that the author of the article forgot to put in the Breitbart quotes, leading me to check Breitbart’s websites for “birther” content.

If you tuned in to Rush Limbaugh yesterday, you probably caught El Rushbo talking about Andrew’s new book.  Rush reminds us that Andrew, yes, Andrew Breitbart, “was a big lefty until he heard me.”  Me, meaning…Rush Limbaugh.

By the way, great news!  Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World has been hovering between #1 and #2 on the Amazon Bestseller’s List in Non-Fiction, and between #10 and #12 Overall. Congratulations, Andrew!!!

The fact that Roger Ailes is a powerful force in media comes as no surprise to anyone, but what might shock you is just how powerful he is. Not only does he head up the Fox News Channel, he also programs a second news network and directs the content of several non-profit organizations. Well, not exactly, or at least directly. See, without the programming on Fox News at least half of MSNBC’s primetime lineup wouldn’t have any content, and basement bloggers at Media Matters might spend less time transcribing the thoughts of others and venture outside every once in a while. But Fox News does exist, so those “fellows” at Media Matters will still have to get their vitamin D through supplements and MSNBC will have content.

Do you watch MSNBC? If you’re like most Americans, the answer is no. You may have come across it while flipping around, and if you flipped fast enough you may have thought your television provider put Fox News on two channels. Considering the ratings, that would almost make sense. Fox routinely more than doubles the ratings of MSNBC, and there’s good reason for that.

MSNBC spends the majority of its time defending Democrats, but when not justifying left-wing actions, their hosts (I don’t call them anchors because that implies a news component to their actions) are running clips of Fox News shows. Why would any network devote such a significant portion of their precious air time to showing and commenting on the content of their main ratings competitor? That’s a good question and one that, at least from journalistic and business perspectives, makes no sense. But once you realize MSNBC has no interest in either of those perspectives, nor do they seem to care about broadening their audience, you’re left with one plausible alternative – it’s the agenda, stupid.

But MSNBC didn’t just come up with this Fox obsessed programming out of thin air, there’s been a movement on the American Left to silence Fox News and anyone who may watch it for years now.

The “non-partisan think tank” known as Media Matters for America was founded in 2004 for the purpose of “correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” Yes, you read that correctly, the media, in their delusional mind, has a conservative bent and they’ve taken it upon themselves to “correct” it. It’s a bit like forming the Society to Ensure the Sun Rises in the East – pretend a problem exists, set about to solve it and claim victory when what was going to happen anyway happens.

Founded by David Brock, a former “journalist” who was once a conservative, but somehow, one day, switch every single one of his views 180 degrees to become a devoted leftists, Media Matters, to boil it down to what it really is, employs people to stalk blogs and watch TV or listen to radio they hate all day, transcribe it, take quotes out of context, spin them and send them out to nearly every media outlet in the country. You’d think something so blatantly boring, not to mention pathetic, would be laughed at for the joke it is, and for the most part it is, but when MSNBC was looking for a niche for itself to try and attract an audience, the Media Matters parasite found its host.

“And if the Republicans aren’t careful, they’re going to let their fear of bad PR kill the tea party revolution. And if they’re not careful what’s going to happen here is a third party is going to happen because the tea party crowd, grassroots, who made the Republican leadership possible, make no mistake, it’s the tea party turned out and voted that made the Republican leaders win, enabled their victory, made their leadership possible, if they’re not satisfied with the direction they see it will be third party time and nobody’s gonna be able to talk them out of it and then it will fracture our movement.”

I like when non-broadcast people try to understand the broadcasting industry and present grandiose assumptions as fact. I like it even better when it’s done within the Tupperware-fresh confines of the progressive echo chamber as a way to smear conservatives.

Lefty Tablet magazine ran an article alleging that one of the biggest radio syndicates out there, Premiere Radio, also offers a fake call service to clients, wherein professional voice actors are paid to call into talk shows.

“Premiere On Call is our new custom caller service,” read the service’s website, which disappeared as this story was being reported (for a cached version of the site click here). “We supply voice talent to take/make your on-air calls, improvise your scenes or deliver your scripts. Using our simple online booking tool, specify the kind of voice you need, and we’ll get your the right person fast. Unless you request it, you won’t hear that same voice again for at least two months, ensuring the authenticity of your programming for avid listeners.”

[...]

Michael Harrison, the editor of Talkers Magazine, the talk-radio world’s leading trade publication, said he knew nothing of this particular service but was not altogether surprised to hear that it was in place. There was, he said, a tradition of “creating fake phone calls for the sake of entertainment on some of the funny shows, shock jocks shows, the kind of shows you hear on FM music stations in the morning, they would regularly have scenarios, crazy scenarios of people calling up and doing pranks.”

This is where progressives’ inability to use logic and reason together in order to come to a rational deduction eludes them. Instead of thinking how many talkers may use a service like that to pull off pranks and skits, which most people, unless you have the mental aptitude of a moose, instantly recognize as a facetious endeavor, Tablet leaps across the Grand Canyon of logical gaps and runs with the opposite narrative:

It is time to question this notion as well. The next caller you hear, the next personal story that makes you sniffle or shout with rage, may be the doing of someone at some faceless casting agency, hiring actors and writing scripts designed to titillate. The point is, without something like the hoshen, an object capable of channeling the celestial spirit and telling truth from lie, we’ll never know.

This sentence was just dropped in as fact:

But a great radio show depends as much on great callers as it does on great hosts: Enter Premiere On Call.

Actually, no. A great show depends upon the strength of its driver, the host’s personality, its timely content, and a great producer. Callers are fun, can enliven a show, and they drive certain formats, but I disagree that calls alone serve as a marker of a talk radio show’s popularity. There is a difference between a call-in show and a call-driven show.

As a talk radio host, I’ve had my share of fake callers.

It’s come to this. The totalitarian Ministry of Newspeak er, I mean Media Matters for America has so much Soros money that they actually employ a guy to watch what we are saying on Twitter, even if it’s trash talk with buddies over a football game.  I’m not joking.  Even more outrageous, all of the thousand-plus contributors here at “The Bigs” are under this scrutiny.  And whenever any of us do something that the self-appointed thought-police at MMfA deem worthy of criticizing, we are all labeled with the same moniker:  “Andrew Breitbart Blogger.”  Here’s how they came after me, for sending a Tweet about an NFL game:

Let’s start at the beginning:  First of all, I am an American man.  Being an American man, I love the NFL.  I am also from Detroit.  Being an American man from Detroit who loves the NFL, it therefore goes to reason that I hate the Chicago Bears.  Everyone with me so far? (I’m trying to make this so simple that even the joyless, agoraphobic shut-ins like those staffing MMfA will understand.)

Over the weekend, AP stories conveying the supposed outrage Asian-Americans felt toward Rush Limbaugh’s mockery of Chinese president Hu Jintao were ubiquitous. The stories were so racially charged and unapologetically one-sided that it was evident someone somewhere was either not telling the whole truth about what Limbaugh said or was not telling the truth about why he said what he said (or that their liberal minds simply couldn’t comprehend the crux of what Limbaugh was trying to accomplish).

As I looked deeper into the AP’s contention about Asian-American outrage toward Limbaugh, I quickly saw that all the news stories rested on the complaints of three different politicians, all of whom happened to be Democrats: an important point which was not brought to the forefront in the coverage. (I guess a headline of “Democrats Outraged at Limbaugh for the 1,000,000^th Time” doesn’t draw near as many readers as “Asian-American Politicians Demand Limbaugh Apology.”)

The three politicians upon whom the demands of the AP stories rest are Representative Judy Chu (D-Ca), Representative David Wu (D-Or), and California state Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco).  All three are quoted as feeling various degrees of disgust with the way Limbaugh mocked the Chinese president’s White House speech last week. Chu said she was “shocked and appalled,” Wu believed Limbaugh demonstrated a “fundamental lack of character,” and Yee called it a “classless act [that] is an insult to over 3,000 years of cultural history.” (There was no mention as to whether these same three lawmakers have been bothered by China’s blatant Human Rights’ violations, evident in China’s ongoing persecution of Christians and their forced abortion/one child policy, or the steadfast Communist mindset that robs their citizens of freedom in a myriad of cruel and unimaginable ways.)
