Media Matters is one of the vilest constructs of the severe left-wing lunacy of David Brock. For years the leftist group has been manufacturing political attacks against conservatives and centrist websites.
Most recently, Media Matters participates in the demonetization and deplatforming agenda within Big Tech by constructing false stories pushed by their rabid ideologues. They then take the false information to advertisers and use their rabid supporter files to threaten the companies. However, finally someone is going to take them to task as Elon Musk is suing them over their malicious and false story about X platform advertising and manufactured adjacencies.
The Twitter Lawsuit is HERE, with the key paragraphs cited below:
[SOURCE]
Politico – […] Shortly after Musk filed his lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has in the past aligned himself with the tech mogul, announced that his office would open a probe into “potential fraudulent activity” by Media Matters. (read more)

X is not alone.
I can also confirm that Media Matters has purposely misrepresented Rumble. Their dishonesty warrants an immediate investigation at the highest levels (hint, @SpeakerJohnson & @Jim_Jordan), and I’ll bring the receipts.

I’m surprised that no one here has mentioned the curious early days of Brock as a supposed conservative, when he wrote The Real Anita Hill in defense of Clarence Thomas.
I’ve always wondered who paid him to go to the dark side and announce he had been lying, to an adoring left that then welcomed him with open arms and has lionized him ever since.
Hillary showed him the way.
In other words, satan got a hold of him.
Why in the heck does my tablet want to capitalize satan? Every time?
Google, Apple, or Bezos… take your pick…
I don’t think so, Brock, as the story goes, went from right of Genghis Khan upon graduating UC Berkeley around 1983 or so, to becoming about a light year left of Che Guevara 5 or 8 years later. A little before those companies really had any clout.
I probably saw him in Sproul Plaza among the other political extremists, since my time there overlapped.
My favourites were the guys pushing fusion energy (not knowing the difference between fission and fusion), Stoney Burke & the Polka-Dot Man. Ah, good times. I was largely non-political, being a Physics major, but I had a lot of fun.
I still loathe politics, but understand the importance of it now, for my progeny’s sake.
A plant for the Club.
Many people do confuse fission and fusion energy. But that doesn’t negate fusion. Just type ITER into a search engine.
All electrical power could be generated by small nuclear reactors (My preference is MCSFRs) widely distributed throughout the world (thousands), reducing the need for fossil fuels by two-thirds. Could have happened a long time ago. We have had SMRs in active use by the military since the early ’60s and could have been deployed them from that time on if wanted. Electrical power is another method of CONTROL of the population.
IMO, SMRs should be manufactured in volume for electrical generation throughout the world, conserving fossil fuels for internal combustion engines. Were this plan to be implemented the world economy would explode overnight. (However, the power of politicians would suffer. Prosperity is the enemy of the political cabal.)
Fusion energy was a joke back in 1983. Today, not so much, but I doubt ITER is going to have any significant success. Cold fusion appears to possibly be real.
Could it be………SATAN!

Brock was a “conservative” at around the same time as Jonah Goldberg. Remember, Brock wrote the Anita Hill expose for the Spectator while Goldberg was at National Review, the favored right-leaning rag of the Establishment conservative cohorts.
Goldberg was always part of Managed Conservatism, Inc., so his current Never Trump, anti-America First incarnation is hardly a religious conversion. But I think Brock is not so easily labeled. I do believe that something happened that caused his radical defection, something that’s caused him to become rabid against all things conservative. Goldberg, on the other hand, was always a shill, in the George Will mode.
Much success to Musk in his lawsuit and a sincere hope that he can finally muzzle Media Matters. It’s dangerous to allow a rabid animal to roam about loose.
Maybe it is because he came out of the closet and found that being a paid gay radical political operative was far more lucrative than being a RINO and came with homosexual (& probably other sick, illegal and degenerate) benefits.
Just a guess …
If it were somehow possible to force the “outing” of all the high ups in the GOP, the number of closeted deviants might be so numerous as to be surprising, even to the knowing, well informed readers here.
I can’t remember exactly who Tucker was talking about (politicians, but not sure which) when he said “Most don’t have normal sex lives.” That seems to fit your comment!
Fits a lot of things. Most weirdos are perpetual victims in their own eyes. They don’t think behavior should matter in how people perceive you. And it becomes the central focus of their lives, fighting the idea that your behavior should matter. How many times have you seen people say insanely inappropriate things at insanely inappropriate times, and be dumbfounded that it went over like a lead balloon?
Probably not a bad guess.
All the #VeryFakeMedia called Milei “far-right”.
Which is too bad, because I was hoping he was far-right.
I hazard to guess that the code word “far right” actually means a normal person with common sense.
ya think
Right. Here’s another.
As a self-described conservative hit man, Brock wrote the first story about Paula Jones—and almost brought down Bill Clinton’s presidency.
He also wrote a book about Hillary Clinton—and then spent the past decade apologizing to the couple in private and in print
https://www.racket.news/p/media-matters-and-the-fake-news-era
Brock was a queer Dem plant in the GOPe.
So maybe he’s trying to stay alive with Hillary as his “Foster” mother? 🤨
Blackmail. He was captured ala Epstein type shenanigans I suspect.
Yes. That makes a lot of sense.
Having read that he started out as a closet homosexual, it could well have had to do with activities with small boys.
Once they got the stick to apply to him, then the carrot got applied.
Presto-chango! I used to be a RINO & now I’m a “distinguished homosexual political player.”
No payment, Brocks came out as an homosexual.
Paid? In this world of crazy leverage, maybe it was darker… maybe someone got “dirt” – lots of things coming to light in recent years that have been occurring for decades.
Um, David Brock’s boyfriend is DeLefantis, you know, from the family friendly restaurant that was protected by a satanic panic style mis direction as the first step of Russia gate by MeAgain Kelly

Was Delefantis (means I love infants in French). Pizza gate was real and Brock was the political arm of it. Rachel Chandler = Rachel CHild Handler…lots of videos on the topic. Warning, it is sick pedo stuff. And, it wasn’t just Comet Pizza, there were other restaurants and other businesses that had less than normal focuses.
In many ways the conservatives and liberals in DC are all the same people.

Everyone should have known.

He was never a good guy. He was always a trifling weasel, writing whatever pandering garbage he could about famous people. All it took was a little bit of money to get him working consistently for the communist movement.
After almost being impeached for MonicaGate, Bill Clinton realized the importance of controlling the media. Upon leaving office, he got financing from Soros to start Media Matters and they put Brock in charge. The first photos of Brock told me he was using cocaine.
Ah, the Ronald Reagan “Neocons.” Brock was one of them.
Whenever somebody says they’re a “Ronald Reagan Republican,” they’re talking about the Communists who became Republicans.
The Communists in Stalin’s govt. became disillusioned with Stalin because Stalin refused to enforce “Socialist” policies, i.e., the LBGTQ and green agendas. So they moved to the US. At first, they became Democrats, but when these Communists realized that the Democrats weren’t willing to go to war against Russia, these Communists became Republicans. They make better warmongers.
The GOPe and these Communists became strange bedfellows. They took over control of Reagan’s admin, i.e., in the form of the Bush/Cheney cabal.
When Jr. later became president, Bush, Jr.’s admin was entirely made up of these Communists.
This is who we’re fighting against now for control of the party.
This is all documented in these articles:

Ask Taylor Swift.
Hell, ask Candace Owens for that matter. She started out saying she would track commentors on the right.
Oops , that was disconnected – two different thoughts running in opposite directions. Taylor Swift found it difficult to maintain her “right-leaning” image. Too difficult.
David Brock is a mystery – he was a savage critic of HillDawg and I have never heard a theory about why he flipped 180. He’s right up there with Soros in the amount of damage he’s causing in destroying free speech.
Candace went the other direction and has done very well for herself being an entertaining and articulate critic of left culture. But I have a gnawing reservation about her because, like Brock, her 180 was very quick. It’s one thing to change over years with life experience, the college of hard knocks, children, and aging. But an abrupt 180, within months? Just sayin’.
It wasn’t an abrupt change for Candace. She used to be heavily involved in the gaming community before she became politically involved.
She made some comment in the gaming community that directed all the feminists to direct their ire at her. It turned out to be a huge deal that lasted quite a while. Candace just didn’t appreciate the feminists telling her what a black person should be thinking and feeling. That’s what started her journey.
As for Taylor Swift, there was no abrupt left face there either. Swift had become an icon for the Nazis on Gab. She was their “representative” for the white race, and she was used to compare her to people from other races. Apparently, somebody on the left told Swift about this, so Swift started making a big deal out of distancing herself from this group of people before they ruined her career.
I might be wrong, but I believe Sundance has addressed the corrupt disingenuousness of David Brock years ago.
IMHO it had become fairly common knowledge among MAGA-conservative alternative news readers that Brock was/ is 100% corrupt and anything stemming from Media Matters was/is automatically discredited as fabricated garbage.
i’m sure there’s pictures involved, or perhaps video
Hopefully we will see lawsuits against Norm Eisan’s lawfare operations…

One other anonymous source leading the crusade against X was found stating:
“If Elon Musk’s X wants to spread Semitic conspiracy theories, terrorist propaganda and disinformation he should run for a US congress or senate seat like the rest of us did!”
But I also find it quite revealing that these major advertisers accepted(!) Media Matters’ “findings” without making any effort to confirm that they were true.
Par for the course, IMO… Debanking… Bud Light… DEI… CRT… Ministry Of Truth… Death By A Thousand Bot Posts…
They were probably shown an image or a webpage that had been painstakingly and repetitively manipulated into existence for the very purpose of freaking out advertisers. The complaint explains it.
They were “true” in the sense that Brock and his trained monkeys were able to manufacture them after days and weeks and months of doing nothing else but banging on keyboards for a deceptive result.
I disagree. I believe the current CEOs are all on the same page and know the plan and are waiting to jump on the False Flag story instantaneously.
There is a huge conspiracy. It is not ignorance or stupidity.
That’s an insult to all monkeys!
These advertisers were already looking for an excuse to bail on X, and Media Matters gave them what they were looking for. Most likely with the encouragement of our illegitimate government. They likely felt if they just left X because they were woke or in bed with our government, there would’ve been too much blowback. So, they got the manufactured BS reason to give them cover.

Only in Portland Oregon. A world turned upside down.

Antifa men are men who cannot be successful as men, so they pretend to be women, yet they’re not accepted by real women, and none of these dudes has the balls to slice off their junk.
Within that lies the problem, beta boys are emotionally neutered from a very early age and therefore have never developed the necessary testosterone to develop man balls. These clowns know how to terrorize helpless victims but when confronted by a real man they cower and run. I call them bitches.

The Fake News Era
Brock is a unique figure in our history, as perhaps no American has ever turned his face so completely inside out in public.
I can’t indulge in homilies to Elon Musk’s X as a haven for free speech while he also continues to suppress disfavored accounts (including all Substack contributors), but the X suit at least has a chance of becoming a referendum on serious forms of media manipulation.
The X allegations, which obviously need proving out, detail in microcosm a phenomenon that’s been unpleasantly familiar to Americans since about 2016. We’ve grown used to a Twilight Zone existence in which nearly every news story of consequence, from Nord Stream to Bountygate to sonic weapons in Cuba, the Dancing Syringe Panic to “Russia Trying to Help Bernie Sanders” to the pee tape have the feel of invented stories. Later, they’re often proved to be, and worse, we’ve been conditioned to forgive the institutions caught routing such fakes our way, and salute the next narratives sent up the flagpole.
The method is never put on trial. In this case, it might be. MMfA is accused of creating a news story, reporting on it, then propagandizing it to willing partners in the mainstream press. Again, the X allegations need to hold up in an adversarial process, but the company claims to have fully captured a dollhouse version of a generation’s larger media frauds, making this a fascinating case to watch.
It is so important to notice what we are being habituated to! There used to be journalistic standards that have been abandoned.
The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act happened at the beginning of the second term of Obama. It made it okay to propagandize the American public.
We have been propagandized for a long time, but it has truly accelerated in recent years.
There have been no abandoned journalistic standards ever. There were always propaganda standards which we thought were journalistic standards. Sundance pulled back the curtain and what he revealed were evil and socialists. Most of us still pretend.
We thought Cronkite was a truth teller, but, no, we were wrong then, we just did not know because the internet had not yet been invented.
Journalism is not as profitable or manipulative as Entertainment. The Smith-Mundt Act was the equivalent of putting the CIA propaganda apparatus on steroids
I hope Elon’s lawyers found a friendly court.
Venue matters.
Timing is everything. Brilliant. More to come.
Ah…a perfect description of action finally being accosted by “an equal and opposite reaction.” Get thee to an honest court if there is one left!!
Reverse law fare!

Law suits can be very effective
We can think of several other “mainstream media” outfits that could/should be sued for fraud. Those of us who suggested this way back in the 90s were laughed off, while MSM outfits only ramped up the criminal fraud far beyond level 11 into malicious psy-op territory, making an utter mockery of 1st A. Go, Elon!
Matt Walsh does an excellent job of explaining what and why is being done to Musk:
If X hadn’t banned me, I’d be more inclined to care. Still, nice to see.
Happy Thanksgiving & RIP JFK Sr.
My neighbor is a retired judge, and he advises that Musk’s lawsuit is rock solid. My distinguished friend quipped that “Media Matters is approaching the brink of not mattering.” Yay!
If you search online for the story behind the lawsuit, you will find a very large majority of the links provided are to leftist publications/organizations that are frantic in their condemnation and ridicule of Musk. I have no doubt that the search engine is discriminating against pro-Musk articles.

I think a lot of the miners are kids who are paid next to nothing.
Okay. Let’s take that as fact. What should they be doing instead? Sitting around waiting to die of malnutrition? Going to school? For what? Have you visited your local downtown lately? It’s dying, for lack of productive business. Look at any shopping center. Let me guess a cell phone store. A nail salon. A check cashing store. Vitamin Shoppe. Maybe a Starbucks. Our society is full of people who went to school and can’t produce anything. We’ve been force fed the lie that production doesn’t matter, that we can all be white collar laptop people. We have become extremely top-heavy, and without the natural process of competition creating an earned hierarchy, we are due to collapse. Kids worked in our country to help support the family into the mid 20th century. It still happens in lots and lots of family businesses. But that’s where your upper middle class formerly came from. Families working together for the common good. An education is supposed to produce people fit to go out into the world with some skills and start WORKING. In the turmoil of 2008 Dade County Public Schools threatening to cut back positions, and they interviewed some overweight minority woman on TV, as to how she felt her prospects were of getting caught in the down sizing. She said she didn’t have to worry, she could always fall back on her two masters degrees. So indoctrinated she could not understand that those two masters degrees are only currency within the school system. They won’t pay the bills without that government apparatus direct depositing cash in her bank account every week
Having employed union electricians, plumbers, laborers and operating engineers for a good portion of my adult life I don’t disagree – we need people who know how to do things other than sit on their laptop.
Not sure what that has to do with the horrific conditions I’ve seen for the kids who mine the cobalt. Besides I don’t even like electric cars.
We’re not really in any big disagreement. I think human being should always be given good conditions to work and be productive. But we’ve become spoiled as a society. That it’s not sustainable. We need to look at hard work as honorable. And people who work hard not as victims, but as valuable threads in the fabric of our society. Other places in the world there’s no opportunity at all. That’s why everyone comes here. Cobalt mining might suck, at least to us, but obviously by the participation rate, it looks like opportunity to the people in that area. I don’t think that’s necessarily bad.
I am not a social media user. Bots can drive views and ads? Increases revenue for the platform and does absolutely nothing for the advertiser? Therefore the platform generates money by being lax on bots. What percentage of traffic is bots? MM generated millions of fradulent views? How many other groups are doing this also?
Now go after the justice system in Minneapolis.

God Bless you SunDance and the merry band of Treepers and God DAMN David Brock and Media Matters. Oh, and God Bless Mike Johnson – yes, I know the structural faults of the current Congress – he is releasing some of the J6 tapes and it will only lead to more. The cascade is happening. People are figuring it out.
god bless Sundance and all the treepers and the congress people that put Mike Johnson in place. May God bless Mike and convince him that saving the country is paramount. Releasing the tapes was a good move. Paying homage to Israel was also a good move. I know there are those that disagree, but, I am not sure that with the power of the Israel lobbies in congress that our congress people have a choice. Hopefully, Mike will rein in the spending. That is optimistic and it is asking a lot. We should pray for it to happen.
Maybe that democrat guy will say that Brock guy needs to be eliminated by mistake
Why? I would have thot Media Matters loved X?
I’m still on the fence with Musk but I hope he sues the lying commie scum at Media Matters into the dustbin of history.
I’m old enough to remember how Elon Musk used to give sermons to Trump on how to get along with the Communists.
Look who’s getting schooled now.
Time to destroy the leftists and Elon is the one to do it.
Hopefully it will become a thing, that lawyers recognize that draining the money from leftist terror groups leads like Media Matters is very lucrative.
If M/M operates as a NFP its tax status should be reviewed as they are nakedly partisan like many others. The entire NFP sector is corrupt. They are PACFs masquerading as NFP’s.
David Brock should be beat until he suffers severe brain damaged and is paralyzed.
Assuming the pattern of activity X alleges is true, which X (Twitter) can in fact prove if they have the logs to document it (and, from the specificity in the complaint, they are by implication alleging they do) this is a prima-facie malicious set of actions by Media Matters.
The sheer audacity of such a course of action in the world of computers and near-free cost of storage, meaning that the logs necessary to substantiate exactly what someone has done are trivially inexpensive to keep around for exactly such a defensive and documentary purpose is stunning. I can only assume that Media Matters believed they’d get away with it, again assuming that X has not manufactured these claims and can prove them.
If he in fact has the logs he can prove them, particularly the most-damning claim which is that no actual authentic user ever saw the claimed “brand unsafe” advertising placements.
In short what X/Twitter alleges is precisely the same sort of malicious activity that would be at-issue if someone grafted my head on a porn star and then claimed I was screwing around on my wife, presenting the video as “evidence.” The claimed act never actually happened but for the manufactured video, which did not represent the willful conduct of anyone except the party committing the slur.
I would expect that such an event would be literal entity-ending and personally subject to punitive damages for everyone involved in it since the fact pattern, again assuming it is as presented, demonstrates on an irrefutable basis that actual malice was the gist of the action.
In the digital era “he said / she said”, which many people think they can still rely on, is trivially pierced. Attacking someone who has the logs, when you are the one who did the things that led to the issue is utterly idiotic; you have to either have an IQ smaller than your shoe or believe the other party is entirely incompetent and thus cannot piece together said logs to undertake such an act.
Of course a complaint is that just — a complaint. There is a long distance between complaint and judgment, and of course both sides are now entitled to discovery. But were I Media Matters and my people did in fact do what is alleged in terms of how they “manufactured” the “outrageous” content displays paraded around in the media over the last couple of weeks I’d consider my time as a viable organization to have effectively expired.

Good. I hope he breaks it off in their ass.
Rumble has a lawsuit against Google currently underway— and Truth Social has filed lawsuit incorporating 20 media companies.
Most likely, Rumble will now join in lawsuit agsinst MSM & Media Matters bc just like X & TRUTH, Rumble has been a victim of the same kind of MSM data manipulation, misinformation & slander.
Prob the only thing that should be noted is the name David Brock. The cretin is slime.
Can RUMBLE and other injured companies join the lawsuit???
Go get them! File multiple lawsuits. Have them flying all over country.
