www.mediamatters.org - sole purpose is to report on lies told in the media

[Darby]

1. Now how do we get this into the maindstream news?

[Darby]

7. I e-mail & fax MediaMatters articles everywhere - senators, newspapers...

Let everyone know theat we are keeping an eye on them

[blondeatlast]

2. Need the link, although many of us have it.

Thanks!

3. There is also

http://www.factcheck.org also

[Darby]

5. yes - www.factcheck.org - also very good

[Cocoa]

11. factcheck.org SUCKS

they are among the sites which are reporting the unsubstantiated forgery story.

And their original article on Bush AWOL is among the worst things I've ever seen, filled with irrelevancies and ad hominems against Michael Moore, all to cover for Bush.

Factcheck.org simply sucks.

[cheshire]

13. I don't look for my news to be biased toward Kerry or for *. I like the

truth if it hurts or not.

[Cocoa]

14. you won't get it at factcheck.org

what you get is a phony "balance" which ignores the huge lies of the Bush administration, and makes it look like each side is equally dishonest, with an arbitrary means of choosing topics, and with inconsistencies in treatment of Bush and Kerry.

It's a pretty good microcosm of all that's wrong with the media, it is a model for how to reward liars.

4. Yes, those are great sites. eom

[ruggerson]

6. Anyone got an email for David Brock?

9. it's a great site

they work overtime to uncover all the repug bias on TV, and that still leaves 90% of the stuff undocumented

[GRLMGC]

10. but they're a hate group

Remember when O'Reilly likened them to the KKK? I love the fact that when faced with the truth, people like him become irrational and incomprehensible.

15. Media Matters ROCKS

They're driving the right wing crazy. You can get e-mail alerts. i get them and post the best ones here. A really great site.

[Democat]

16. Media Matters should be required reading for every Democratic leader

If Democratic talking heads would read Media Matters before going on TV, they would have better talking points and have a better understanding of the enemy.
