#Mrs. Bill Clinton Admitted She Helped Start Media Matters, the authors of the phony "phony soldiers" smear |
Hillary Clinton Told YearlyKos Convention She Helped Start Media
Matters
By Noel Sheppard | October 1, 2007 - 18:00 ET
As NewsBusters reported Sunday, the leftwing organization responsible
for the recent smear campaigns against Rush Limbaugh and Bill
O'Reilly, Media Matters, has direct ties to the Clintons.
To be sure, folks on the left, and in the media that support them,
will either deny this connection, or ignore it.
In the end, that's going to be hard to do, for on August 4, while
speaking at the YearlyKos convention in Chicago, the junior senator
from New York boasted of "institutions that I helped to start and
support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress."
Our friend Mike Church has been kind enough to provide the following
audio of this segment of her speech that day (partial transcript to
follow). Those interested can also view the video available here
(relevant section at 2:20):
AdvertisementWe are certainly better prepared and more focused on, you
know, taking our arguments, and making them effective, and
disseminating them widely, and really putting together a network, uh,
in the blogosphere, in a lot of the new progressive infrastructure,
institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and
Center for American Progress.
Sounds like the junior senator confirmed my contention from Sunday:
"Hillary and her backers have created an advocacy network whose
expressed goal is to take down all of her critics in the media.
She continued:
You know, we're beginning to match what I had said for years was the
advantage of the other side. Uh, you know, when I made that comment
about the vast right-wing conspiracy, I wasn't kidding. Uh, what I
never could have predicted is that it was not a conspiracy, it was
just wide open and out there for everybody to see.
Well, Senator, it now appears that the advocacy network you "helped to
start and support" is wide open and out there for everybody to see.
Talk about your inconvenient truths!
Update 10-02 9:31 | Matthew Sheffield. In yet another instance of
Media Matters making false claims, the left-wing group has issued
several denials that it is tied to Hillary and Bill Clinton.
But in true Clintonian fashion, these denials are hardly that at all.
Here is the phrase that the group keeps falling back on:
"Media Matters for America is a 'progressive research and information
center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and
correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.' The Center
for American Progress identifies itself on its website as 'a
progressive think-tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans
through ideas and action.'"
Of course this means nothing whatsoever as far as Hillary Clinton
goes. And yet in typical disreputable MM fashion, the far left group
has repeatedly referenced it in subsequent articles as a denial of a
Clinton connection.
Apparently Media Matters can't even quote itself in context!
We can't help but wonder how the group tries to spin and distort this
flat-out statement of involvement from Clinton.

Knickers doesn't like to mention it, but former right winger and

And Ari Fleischer is a funder of Freedom's Watch. Nothing illegal

it. Expect more empty charges against Hillary as they try to distract
people from the Limbaugh "phony soldiers" episode.

It's another right wing distortion like the false representation of
Gore's statement about the internet, Love Canal, Love Story and so
forth. Be prepared to be inundated with this crap.

Swiftboating means to lie about what someone has done. I've seen no
evidence that Media Matters has lied about anyone.
They point out inaccuracies in what people say. Neo cons hate that
because they get corrected more than any other people.

I've always been totally amazed by the segment of the population that
has popped up recently ability to just state outright lies over and
over and keep to it for years and years. It's like those people who
believe the moon landing was faked suddenly became so numerous that a
major TV channel was profiting left and right catering to their
insanity. Although I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Fox and the
rest of neo con propaganda machine took up that cause and did manage
to milk it.

Huh? Why. I believe Media Matters acknowledges the connection when
they started. This is a non-issue.

Hillary Clinton Told YearlyKos Convention She Helped Start Media

By Noel Sheppard | October 1, 2007 - 18:00 ET
As NewsBusters reported Sunday, the leftwing organization responsible
for the recent smear campaigns against Rush Limbaugh and Bill
O'Reilly, Media Matters, has direct ties to the Clintons.
To be sure, folks on the left, and in the media that support them,
will either deny this connection, or ignore it.
Huh? Why. I believe Media Matters acknowledges the connection when
they started. This is a non-issue.
But ACCUSING them of a connection MAKES it an issue - to those who
can't think, like neocons.

But absolutely NO whine when Richard Mellon Scaife

Jones and elevate the Cliff Harris "stories and lies"

Sorry, after what has been done to Max Cleland (and many others) I
have zero sympathy for any right winger whining about smear campaigns.
