to do hitpieces on Democrats.

You shouldn't bring it into our "home" here and expect it to be taken seriously.

You erred.

Media Matters is a fact-checking organization, with citations, sources and proofs. They focus on disproving smears against the left, but they don't play fast and loose with facts. If the right smears HRC, they'll correct the record. They'll do it for any Dem who is unfairly tarnished. All one has to do is look at their front page--it's not "all Hillary, all the time"--not by a long shot.

The Washington Examiner, OTOH, is a shameless, wingnut rag with zero credibility and a mission to bash politicians and public figures on the left.

That's both a distinction, and a difference. You bought the bullshit, and you shouldn't have.

Or else paid like Rush was. Same time frame she began attacking. Part of the huge RW con job. freshwest Mar 2015 #3

She has this bad habit of trying to portray herself as some kind of "sex goddess hottie." MADem Mar 2015 #4

She's stuck in the high-school "mean girl" mode. Very nasty and full of herself. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #6

Yes, that's it exactly--she reserves most of her bile for women. MADem Mar 2015 #9

very true, pnwmom. nt brer cat Mar 2015 #11

She's no Helen Thomas? ha ha!Very true, but very unfair DFW Mar 2015 #8

I posted that in tribute to Helen, DFW, not to compare her in any way. Thomas went after criminals. freshwest Mar 2015 #10

Haha! Score 1 for Hillary! delrem Mar 2015 #2

No. Maybe there's a reason only 8% of the statements were positive. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #37

Wish she'd be the nominee.... dirtydickcheney Mar 2015 #38

If she's in the whitehouse, the Senate will only become more Republican in response. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #40

A journalist critical of an elected official.. .. hmmm the_sly_pig Mar 2015 #5

Criticism is one thing. Personal attacks are another. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #7

She started when Hillary was not an elected official Spider_Mann Mar 2015 #13

She's not a journalist. She's a columnist, a pundit. MADem Mar 2015 #20

In what way is Media Matters "anointing Hillary as the ONLY possibility"? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2015 #42

My reply to you still stands, though........... KoKo Mar 2015 #43

You are using a right wing publication to defend a falsehood. You've screwed up, here. MADem Mar 2015 #44

Let us put it this way, again........ KoKo Mar 2015 #45

Huh? I'm not "venting on you." You are bringing a wingnut source here and expecting us to take you MADem Mar 2015 #46

So why don't you 'speak as a Democrat', rather than posting Washington Examiner hitpieces? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2015 #47

You want "legitimate analysis?" MADem Mar 2015 #21

Media Matters seems a bit defensive. They did, after all, get a mention in Dowd's article. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #39

Dowd is a tiresome BORE. BigDemVoter Mar 2015 #22
