The DOJ and Media Matters

Post by 74novaman »

http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/18/email ... pin-press/
Dozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Lovely. Didn't someone on here tell me that media matters was an unbiased, good source of neutral info? Yeah, about that...... :mad5 :mad5 :mad5

So.. why is the MSM not lambasting the administration for this?
Even ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN, etc must be peeved that some not-for-profit blog has that kind of access to the White House.

Somebody PLEASE revive Walter Cronkite. The Fourth Estate is no longer separate from Government.

I hope our new DOJ looks into some of these "non-profit" Soros funded entities after this DOJ is unemployed. :anamatedbanana

Ok my understand based on a story I saw on some news something in the last week or so was that Media Matters was "left"
and Brent Bozell and his Media Research Center is "right"

what is ODD or plain wrong and does ask serious questions is why was DOJ passing information to daily caller in a effort to spin or confuse info so that doj
essentially had a non profit doing the doj bidding.

Media Research Center preceded Media Matters into existence as a reaction against the flood of liberal lies in the liberal media (but I repeat myself). Media Matters is an effort to squash Fox News, against which about 99% of what passes for their "fact checking" is directed. They are morons.

DOJ IG says Media Matters may have been allowed to see his report on #FastandFurious before public release.... He's not sure!!!!
