Media Matters pisses me off....

[zoeb]

How does this shit pass as news...fair and balanced NEWS!?!?!~?

Media tout flawed, nonexistent polling data
Taranto

Caught by Media Matters making up poll data, Taranto gave his excuse: "We haven't been paying close attention to the polls" »

Limbaugh dramatically overstated administrative costs of welfare »

O’Reilly used misleading statistics, fiscal falsehoods to defend Bush economic record

It's just crazy that we need "watchdog organizations" to watch watchdog organizations.

Edit to add: I hate what I see there. How can credible news orginazations pose as news "sources" when they create,makeup and lie about shit?

1. huh?

Why does Media Matters anger you? Are you offended by Media Matters, or does the truth uncovered by Media Matters anger you?

[lancdem]

2. I think the poster is angry at what Media Matters exposes

[wtmusic]

3. it takes a lot of time

and energy to investigate all that stuff. I think they do pretty well considering

[ClintonTyree]

4. Yet 51% of cable news viewers watch this shit.....

and probably just as many listen to that tripe too. That they can get away with bald faced lying is a sad commentary on our "liberal media". :eyes:

[zoeb]

7. Many people I know believe what O'lielly spews...it

just really pisses me off to see this shit masquerade as news...I'm so thankful for sites like media matters! They should have there own show like O'lielly or Insanity.

8. I was a bit confused at first.

Thought you were mad AT media atters, not at what they were reporting. It would be grand if they could get their own television show, but I do hear David Brock on NPR and Air America every once in a while =|

[I Have A Dream]

9. I thought the same thing. I was ready to defend Media Matters...

because it's one of the best sites on the web, in my opinion. I then realized that the OP really seemed to be mad at what Media Matters has found. So, it's not Media Matters that pissed this person off; it was READING Media Matters that got the OP pissed off.

Correct?

[zoeb]

10. I agree, I love it...

It's just so incredible that so many would lie and distort facts to support such a loser...or support the entire Bushco regime.

WTF...what's in in for them? We know they're idots...they don't have to prove that. I don't get it...:shrug:

[rodeodance]

5. what exactly are you upset about?

[longship]

6. And Media Matters *Really* pisses off Karl Rove, also.

[Kire]

11. I hardly ever go there.

I'm really glad it's there, but it's just not very exciting. I guess I have a short attention span or something.

But, i certainly don't "hate" it. I don't know what this poster is on about. Simply an ad hominem attack. Makes me wonder if zoeb is a troll.

12. O'Reily doesn't matter

...and there is no media beyond Amy Goodman and Air America Radio.
