After facing down over a month of tough reporting, David Brock’s Media Matters still has nothing to say for itself. The progressive messaging group has all but clammed up under a constant barrage of scrutiny from conservatives and liberals alike.
It’s been a little over a month since The Daily Caller published the beginning of an investigative series examining the inner workings of Media Matters. The reporting, bolstered by first-hand knowledge from sources familiar with day-to-day activities in the group’s Washington, D.C. offices, revealed close coordination with the Obama White House, a slew of favored — and receptive — mainstream journalists, intense erratic behavior by Brock, an illegally-wielded Glock pistol carried by Brock’s assistant and consequence-free sex in the office’s media war room.
Coming up from the underdog, Senator Rick Santorum is gaining momentum like wildfire. Some people are calling him the new ‘frontrunner’. Check out this Google Trends chart from today, February 18, 2012. This is not a poll, but a significant chatter meter of how candidates are doing.
While polls, when properly calculated, are move scientific, it is obvious that all polling is not on the same page. We believe that there is some affecting of bias by the mainstream media. We have recently found out that Media Matters has been linked to access to the White House perhaps for the purpose of generating a ‘consistent’ front on all the networks, just like in the last election (2008).
By God, it’s not going to work this time. The American people know what you guys are doing. People like George Soros, David Brock, etc., are in bed with the Obama Administration to pull together the same ‘slick trick’ they did last time.
Not gonna work. This time we not only have the record of a failed president, but we have full knowledge of the intentions of this administration. We know that the job numbers are being cooked to look good on the surface, but in reality, we know that the real number much higher.
The ‘tax cut’ Congress passed is a bad idea. It’s not a tax cut, its taking money from Social Security receipts and calling it a tax cut. Why is it that Social Security has always been the victim of legislative robbery? We know that Social Security is funded by current, on-going tax receipts from Social Security taxing. Where is the money coming from to replace those funds?
It’s continuing to be obvious that President Obama is secretly and willingly trying to crash this economy. This is the worst ‘tax and spend’ administration since Woodrow Wilson! It’s even worse than the Carter administration. We need a REAL CONSERVATIVE. We believe Sen.Rick Santorum is that man to get this nation back in the direction it should be going.

Media Matters enjoyed a surge in fundraising after the start of the Obama administration — nearly doubling its revenues in the first two years of the president’s administration, according to tax returns obtained by The Daily Caller.
The Daily Caller found that Media Matters and its lobbying arm Media Matters Action Network raked in $14.6 million in 2010, compared with $8.1 million in 2009.
The nonprofit organization, whose tax-exempt status has been questioned by several lawmakers curious about its political activities, saw its fundraising on the rise, according to the latest available returns, even though about half of the groups earnings in 2010 came from just 21 donors, including two unidentified contributors who gave more than $1 million apiece.
The head of Media Matters for America — now out coordinating a new super PAC to help President Obama get reelected — is operating his nonprofit organizationin close coordination with the Obama White House, a new investigative report out Monday says.
David Brock, according to the Daily Caller, has collected a $250,000 annual salary for his work at MMFA, which includes daily screeds against Fox News Channel and other media outlets that allow conservative perspectives in their reporting.
David Brock, chairman and chief executive of Media Matters for America, told a news website earlier this year that his nonprofit is now moving to “sabotage” FOX News because it says the network is now the “de facto head of the GOP,” among other things.
Anchors and guests appearing on FOX News have said because of such statements, the nonprofit is violating U.S. tax law.
There is no indication the IRS is auditing or probing Media Matters for these alleged violations.
However, interviews with current and former IRS officials, tax lawyers and tax experts, as well as a review of Media Matters’ IRS documents and its activities indicate the nonprofit has put its tax-exempt status in jeopardy for reasons beyond those allegations.
The chorus is growing for the IRS to scrutinize Media Matters’ tax-exempt status as the left-leaning media watchdog group wages a “war” on Fox News.
Recent questions about Media Matters’ activities stem from a campaign against Fox News that founder David Brock described in an interview this year as “guerilla warfare and sabotage.” By its own admission, the group is conducting “opposition research” against certain executives and producers. It also features a link on its website called “Drop Fox” which helps users contact advertisers and urge them to boycott the network.
