How the Left Keeps Drones In Line: the Origin of Fox News Attacks


Do you watch MSNBC? If you’re like most Americans, the answer is no. You may have come across it while flipping around, and if you flipped fast enough you may have thought your television provider put Fox News on two channels. Considering the ratings, that would almost make sense. Fox routinely more than doubles the ratings of MSNBC, and there’s good reason for that.

MSNBC spends the majority of its time defending Democrats, but when not justifying left-wing actions, their hosts (I don’t call them anchors because that implies a news component to their actions) are running clips of Fox News shows. Why would any network devote such a significant portion of their precious air time to showing and commenting on the content of their main ratings competitor? That’s a good question and one that, at least from journalistic and business perspectives, makes no sense. But once you realize MSNBC has no interest in either of those perspectives, nor do they seem to care about broadening their audience, you’re left with one plausible alternative – it’s the agenda, stupid.

But MSNBC didn’t just come up with this Fox obsessed programming out of thin air, there’s been a movement on the American Left to silence Fox News and anyone who may watch it for years now.

The “non-partisan think tank” known as Media Matters for America was founded in 2004 for the purpose of “correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” Yes, you read that correctly, the media, in their delusional mind, has a conservative bent and they’ve taken it upon themselves to “correct” it. It’s a bit like forming the Society to Ensure the Sun Rises in the East – pretend a problem exists, set about to solve it and claim victory when what was going to happen anyway happens.

But their biggest target is Fox News in general, and they are Terminator-like in their determination that no one be exposed to the information disseminated on the network that Ailes built knows no bounds. They will defend anything a liberal is exposed doing, be it aiding child prostitution in the ACORN or Planned Parenthood tapes to NPR executive claiming Jews control newspapers, there is no bridge too far. “Senior Fellow” Eric Boehlert was out early on Twitter blaming Sarah Palin and Conservatives for the tragic shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on Twitter within hours of it happening, a meme with soon found its way to MSNBC. Boehlert will sometimes rephrase his spin ten times in ten different tweets throughout the day so any of his followers who might’ve been tempted by the draw of reality will be sure the last thing they see is his version. How Media Matters maintains its “charity” status with the IRS remains a mystery.

Their main argument is anything found to be negative towards liberals is “taken out of context,” something they excel at doing. They created the talking point still echoing in the halls of MSNBC anytime about the ACORN tapes that they were “heavily edited,” as if there was some context in which giving advice to someone on how best to import teen-age sex slaves from South America could be taken out of. But reality and logic have no place in the world of a zealot. MSNBC hosts spout Media Matters talking points with all the skepticism a Muppet has towards its master.


Since this symbiotic relationship isn’t for ratings (any look at MSNBC’s ratings shows they don’t have any), the only logical conclusion is it’s for the agenda. Media Matters was founded, and is funded, by the typical left-wing billion-and-millionaires who fund the Left-Wing Industrial Complex, George Soros, et. al., who keep an army of flying monkeys at their disposal to advance whatever their whim of the day happens to be. These wealthy people, who routinely complain that taxes are too low and could easily live the life they seek to impose on others by not availing themselves of the tax deductions and trust funds their accounting firms crawl through the tax code to find, give tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations designed to manipulate public opinion so they can achieve their means. And the biggest impediment in their way to reaching their Utopian goal, as they see it, is Fox News. The network Roger Ailes runs won’t play ball, so they must be destroyed.
