WHEN I HEARD conservative pundit Ann Coulter refer to former Vice President Al Gore as a “total fag” during a recent television interview, I immediately prepared myself for a tsunami of gay outrage over the remark. I swear that I heard Media Matters for America CEO David Brock’s head explode, even though his posh, George Soros-funded office is miles away from my Capitol Hill abode.
Within hours, Brock and his merry band of character assassins were waging an e-mail jihad and internet petition drive against MSNBC declaring, “Hate has no place on the airwaves.” The call to action prompted a barrage of vicious anti-Coulter postings from the usual suspects in the liberal blah-gay-sphere.

Media Matters responds:
Summary: In a column published in the Washington Blade, former Talon News "Washington Bureau Chief" Jeff Gannon falsely accused Media Matters of "waging an e-mail jihad and internet petition drive against MSNBC" "hours" after Ann Coulter called Al Gore a "total fag." In fact, Media Matters had posted the petition in question nearly two weeks earlier. In addition, the petition addresses "major television networks" and "the media" in general, not MSNBC specifically.
