Tasked with watching and reading the daily shitpile of right wing propaganda coming out of the White House, Fox News and the myriad other truth-twisting "media," MEDIA MATTERS identifies the dirt, then posts these lies with compelling countervailing truths.
Hitler's propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, advocated the BIG LIE, repeated over and over until it no longer seemed unlikely. Taking a page from that Nazi's playbook, those who would have you believe that questioning our government is unpatriotic and that being against the "war" in Iraq is treason (the Bills, the Joe Scarborough's, the Michael Savages and other administration apologists), get their due with factual refutation of "the spin" these so-called "conservative" mediatypes create to distort the truth.
David Brock, looking kinda uptight.Media Matters was founded a few years ago by DAVID BROCK, a former Republican activist and media darling who came out as a gay man and turned on his former colleagues with books: The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy and Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative, a 2002 New York Times best-selling political memoir.
Considered a "traitor" by the right-wing cognoscenti, Brock has estblished himself and MediaMatters as a must-read for those seeking the "truth" in news.
