How the Liberal Media
Smear Machine Slimes Conservatives instructively demonstrates how
"George Soros (and others) fund one of the left’s most prominent noise
machines, Media Matters for America,
which distorts statements made by conservatives and
then urges
reporters to provide saturation coverage of such statements as proof
conservatives are hypocritical and sinister."
Rarely mentioned is that Hillary Clinton was
responsible for it's organization, and how David Brock became its
barker. All this can be found in Discover The Networks report,
Hillary's
Lap Dogs. It also sheds light on Brock's "epiphany," that led him
to denounce his conservative ties and move to the dark side. It's
basically a Hollywood story, that. He got a role in a movie and
fell in love with the producer, who was looking for
a pegboy. |

In 1996
(eight years before Media Matters’ creation), the then-conservative
David Brock was commissioned (with a $1 million advance) by the Simon
& Schuster subsidiary Free Press to write a hard-hitting expose of
Hillary. But the book, completed in 1997, turned out to be nothing more
than a tepid, distinctly sympathetic account of the former First Lady’s
life. That same year (1997), Brock publicly announced his political
epiphany, unequivocally recanting his previous negative writings about
the Clintons and embracing the liberal/Left cause. During this period,
Brock developed a close relationship with Neel Lattimore, Senator
Clinton’s openly gay press secretary and close confidante. Brock would
eventually hire Lattimore as a director of “special projects” for Media
Matters.
Brock’s affinity for Mrs. Clinton grew over time, and vice versa.
According to Glenn Thrush of Newsday, Hillary “advised Brock on
creating” Media Matters in 2004, “encouraging the creation of a liberal
equivalent of the Media Research Center, a conservative group that has
aggravated Democrats for decades.” Thrush reports that Hillary still
“chats with [Brock] occasionally and thinks he provides a valuable
service . . .” “For her part,” Thrush adds, “Clinton’s extended family
of contributors, consultants and friends has played a pivotal role in
helping Media Matters grow from a $3.5 million start-up in 2004 to its
current $8.5 million budget.”

Hillary Clinton is chiefly
responsible for creating the perception of truth as an accepted
alternative to truth. The consequences for us are enormous.
