Fox New's campaign to revoke Media Matters tax exempt status.





As if we needed any more proof of the hypocrisy that is Fox News, our friends at News Corpse have dug up an interesting tidbit. It seems the folks over at Fox were in love with the IRS a couple of years ago. The same network that is up in arms over this whole IRS “scandal” was all palsy-walsy with them when they wanted to attack a non-profit that they disagreed with.

In July of 2011, Fox was on a campaign to have Media Matters‘ non-profit status revoked. That’s right, the agency that they are pushing as totalitarian, bent on revenge against conservative and tea party groups, the agency that is a threat to America and freedomz!! Turns out that, two years ago, this same agency was a tool for Fox to use to persecute a group that made it their business to expose the lies and misrepresentations that make up most (if not all) of Fox‘s broadcast material.

Blast those who call them out for their lies. It's quite simple and
as old as politics itself, but in this twitter verse , we catch them in
a nano second, and they hate that.

act like 2nd graders who just took their fake science test where questions are as fake as the cable station that thinks it a news station.

I want to know what drugs she is on to make her this diluted? I seriously want to know what she eats, so I can avoid it. I want to know what flavor Kool Aide she drinks, so I can pass on it.

I couldn't stand 30 seconds of watching this, without wanting to throw something at my computer screen. But, hey why ruin a perfectly good computer screen? This woman who filed a frivolous lawsuit should have to pay the attorneys double for their wasted time, and she seems no better than Orly Taitz in mind set.

Hey Doosey; It’s the DEM-O-CRAT-TIC PARTY! Show a little respect.

That “democrat party” slur is getting a little tired and increasingly annoying.

But, that damned Republic Party doesn’t have a lot to offer with regards to respecting others.

When the left uses the deduction she says it's cheating us out of our money (tax dollars). The hypocrisy is so bald faced.
