Media Matters Fails To Notice Journalist's Political Contributions (Updated)

...and here we are, doing the job that Democrat noise machines refuse to do.

As of right now, they have nary a word or sneering screed to say about the MSNBC list of journalists that donate overwhelmingly and unabashedly to Democrat political candidates.

Not. A. Word. Apparently, political conflicts of interest in media don't matter.

Or maybe that's because their President and CEO donates exclusively to Democrat as well.

It also means that, since both Media Matters and 90% of the journalists listed as Democrat donors are in the same boat, that Democrats, Media Matters and the mainstream press work in simpatico. That is, they're all one and the same noise machine.

I await their "nuanced" take on this little bombshell. If it ever comes.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

MORE... A while back, a vigilant Freeper caught the Washington Post's star reporter Dana Priest attending a panel in October of 2003 called "Cowboy Diplomacy" (w/ photos), sponsored by the liberal think tank Center for International Policy (headed by Priest's husband, William Goodfellow). Who else was seated at the table with Priest at "Cowboy Diplomacy?" None other than Joe Wilson, for whom the CIP got speaking gigs. More on that whole thing here.

The MSNBC article on the Democrat journalist list above says this:

Donations and other political activity are strictly forbidden at The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN and NPR.
Not really sure when that WaPo policy kicked into gear (of they simply lok the other way for Priest), but it really doesn't matter - nobody was enforcing it anyway. And NPR? That's a larf. Look at the list under "radio." All (D)'s.

It doesn't matter anyway - telling journalists they can't donate to political candidates won't stop them from being biased in favor of those candidates. It will simply make their biases financially untraceable, which is the obvious next move by the media organizations. CYA time! Someone lifted the rock, scattered the roaches, and now the change has got to come down.

This list also proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the mainstream press is balanced by FOX and talk radio, not threatened by it. Tough cookies there, libs.

We're having a field day with this one. You lefties all had it coming for a long time, and now the sunshine has been let into some of the smoky newsrooms of the major media outlets of America. Read 'em and weep.

1 Could it be that journalists, like most people with a higher education, don't support the current Republican party because is it filled with rascists, hypocrites, and religious wack-jobs?   Nah, it couldn't be that now could it?

2 Aww. Somebody's not getting away with lying to the American people about media bias anymore. Isn't that sad.

Your buddies repeating your memes day and night under the guise of 'objectivity' have been B U S T E D as nothing more than shills  and financiers for the Democrat party. Like you. Of course you're going to jump to their defense, while whining about FOX and talk radio. Bwahahaha!

is it (sic) filled with rascists (sic), hypocrites, and religious wack-jobs (sic)?

No. They're just brainwashed Democrat mouthpieces, and always have been.

And for the record, liberals are the ones trying to balkanize society into racial, ethnic and religious groups while pretending that they're really not interested in any of those demographics. Liberals are the ones lying by claiming they don't have political biases, and yet we find that they support and contribute to the Democrat political machine by a 9-1 margin. Liberals are the ones trying to hypocritically protect religious groups they see as "victims (Muslims)" while trying to shut out other groups they declare as "oppressors (Christians)." Give it a rest, Bo.

FYI, most people in 'higher education' have never had real jobs. That's where the expression "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach" comes from.

Can't you be honest about anything you bloviate? That's a rhetorical question.

3 Good Lt,
 
Jesus was a Liberal. 
 
If you stop and think about it, secular liberalism is probably the most potent weapon we have against Islam.
 
Turn off the hate and maybe we can have a reasonable discussion about these matters.

Yup, like gasoline is the most potent thing we have against forest fires!  And you're a moron.

5 Jesus was a liberal? Did you ask him?

Do you think he likes the liberals' attempts to drive Christianity from the public square?

Do you think he would have voted for Bill Clinton?

And as for this,


Turn off the hate


I have only to say this:

the current Republican party because is it filled with rascists, hypocrites, and religious wack-jobs?

Apart from that being incredibly stupid and unfounded, what do you Jesus would say about your characterization of religious folks as "wack-jobs?"

You're the hater, bud. Sorry if you can't put it all together.

6 Lt. Dan,
 
You could use an enema. 
 
Jesus preached do onto others, turn the other cheek, love thy neighbour, and a host of other benevolent things.  So I have to ask myself how warmongers of pastor John Hagee's type
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hagee
 
get off twisting Jesus's teachings so that peace is war, love is hate?
 
Snake oil salesman that live in obscene luxury because little old ladies send them their pension cheques in a blind belief that they will obtain salvation.
 
I have nothing against Christians, in fact I am a practicing Christian.  I simply detest false Christians - one's who regularly pass judgement on others and do not respect individual liberties.

7 Moron -

I don't care about or even like John Hagee. If you don't like his version of Christianity, there are others out there. Get over it. People who don't agree with your worldview exist. Tolerate them, because they tolerate you - you seem to have a problem with tolerance.

Jesus wasn't a liberal, because Jesus wasn't a communist. Jesus wasn't a Democrat. Jesus wasn't a Republican. In fact, nobody in the Ancient world was a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. Get it?

Jesus didn't advocate stealing others' money to pay for the whims of your own beliefs, for example. Liberals believe in that religiously. Jesus believed in voluntary charity, not forced charity.

And by the way, you've been hijacking the thread with this ongoing rant about your cartoonish vision of "Christianity," which you are conflating with Republicanism/Liberalism. They're not one and the same - that's why they're all different words.

None of anything you wrote here has anything to say about the OBJECTIVE JOURNALISTS LYING ABOUT BEING OBJECTIVE, which is the whole point of the post.

Liberal opinions are fine. Liberal journalists pretending they don't have opinions or liberal agendas is LYING.

Therefore, you (like Clinton before you) defend lying and dishonesty as "not that big of a deal, as long as it is Republicans/neeeeeeocons you are lying about and to."

And what did Jesus say about lying? How about adultery? How about infidelity? How about those who don't believe in Him? Go look that all up, and come back with some evidence that Jesus was a Clintonite. I anxiously await your findings.

Don't pretend that liberals who want to silence conservatives in radio with government intervention and regulation of opinion are concerned with individual liberties. They are concerned with THEIR liberties, and stifling the liberties of those with whom they disagree. They are the most Stalinistic people in the country

It is liberals who want to restrict religious freedom in America (guaranteed in the Bill o' Rights). It is liberals breaking crosses off war memorials, courthouses and manger scenes. It is liberals defending the actions of militant Islam while trying to draw contemporary comparisons to Christianity, when any educated person with two brain cells to rub together can see that one if truly more violent as a religion that the other at this time in history. You are a moral idiot, because you can't distinguish good from bad, and better from worse. That's a self-inflicted condition, by the way.

Stop lying, and stop trying to make Jesus a Democrat. Jesus transcends political alignment, especially liberal, secular political alignment.

And learn to stay on topic in the comments.

Oh..how tolerant of you "Bo".  Label hard working people as racists, hypocrites and religious cooks without even so much as a whiff of proof.

I guess your 'whiffer' may be busy whiffing methane currently...

10 Why des Bush always say he wants a "liberal democracy" in Iraq and not a conservative democracy ?

Posted by: John Ryan at June 22, 2007 10:56 AM (TcoRJ)

11 That doesn't mean that everyone in a democracy is a liberal, retard. It is liberal with a small "l," meaning that it adopts classical liberal values.

He doesn't say "leftist democracy" either, which it what you want. There' no such thing as a leftist democracy, because leftists would make sure it ceases to be a democracy.

And we're not a pure democracy, either. We're a representative republic.

12 GEE ...  JOHN, If Bush is so "liberal" why do you hate him so much???  Someone else made the point, but just to be clear, being "Liberal" isn't the same as being "liberal".  Just like "Progressive" really means reaching backwards to failed institutions like communism, instead of advancing civilization using the most reliable system ever tested, which is the one our Founding Fathers gave us. Yep ... "Progressive" is just a word. Real "progress" comes from the proven American way of doing things.  I know you won't get this because your ideological father was a man who lived on the wealth of his friends. All he produced of his own was an arguement that justified his own selfish, lazy, leeching behavior.  Not that ol' Marx didn't touch quite a few lives, what with all the dead Ukrainians and all.  Your just mad cause Mamma took your 'Che' action figures away from you again didn't she? Probably for'executing' your sister's 'Barbie' dolls again ...                 
                            USA, all the way!

13 Che action figures. Ha, ha. I can see John Ryan sitting on the floor (camel jockeys do that) playing with his Che, Fidel and Hugo figurines.
