Mediamatters is in fact an interesting operation. It is obvious by their reaction to it that the Right Wing Media Machine find it extremely dangerous. The "George Soros" claim has no proof and is routinely denied by the site, if you have some, you should post it to elucidate this conspiracy for us un-initiates. In reality, it was founded by David Brock, a one-time closeted Republican homosexual who wrote a rather interesting book called "Blinded by the Right". Mr. Brock was a press aide to Newt Gingrich for most of his career as a card-carrying Movement Conservative. He switched parties and then told tales out of school on the hypocrites for whom he worked, of how Mr. Gingrich supped with Pat Robertson and Dobson, followed with having his mistress for desert whilst his wife lay cancer-stricken in the local hospital, a location Mr. Gingrich deemed suitable for finally serving the unfortunate woman with notice of divorce, a most un-Christian act. Brock was most appalled at the steady stream of falsehood produced by the AM Radio - Fox News - Matt Drudge Alliance, and his web site is his attack upon it. The style of his web site is straight forward: he asserts a contradiction or falsehood, usually of the pundit class, and then uses transcripts of the person's actual words to indict them. There is very little editorializing. You engage in Limbaughizing when you describe it as "wacked out", it is actually one of the more intellectual attempts at holding people accountable using the power of the Internet that I am aware of, and the right wing would do well to emulate it. Mr. Brock is an accomplished author and an excellent investigator, indeed the right certainly thought he was when he worked for them.
