If I look at their coverage of other Democrats, it is, like the story in the OP, criticism of unfair or excessive attacks on them in the media.

" I will speak my voice as a Democrat "; OK, do that - don't quote a far-right website like the Washington Examiner. So, as a Democrat, what do you find problematic in the Media Matters stories? Please give examples.

The Numbers Behind Maureen Dowd's 21-Year Long Campaign Against Hillary Clinton [View all] Spider_Mann Mar 2015 OP

Dowd is a vicious, mendacious tool. MADem Mar 2015 #1

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

I figured DFW Mar 2015 #12

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

Ugh... Mike Nelson Mar 2015 #14

The Washington Examiner is a right wing rag. Now that I read it i Must take a shower. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2015 #27

Eddie Scarry of the Washington Examiner...? MADem Mar 2015 #31

No, the point is, your source is dreck, a wingnut, hyperconservative outlet that has one purpose-- MADem Mar 2015 #35

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

Exactly. She produces 'hit pieces' for a living. MannyGoldstein Mar 2015 #26

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

Nah! See Post 18....about Media Matters........ KoKo Mar 2015 #29
