"...Over the past three weeks the network has run dozens of segments attacking Media Matters -- on Fox "news" and opinion shows, on the Fox Business Network, and as the top three simultaneous lead stories on its website, Fox Nation. They have repeatedly encouraged viewers to file complaints with the IRS, even providing a direct link to a pre-filled form on their website.

This attack is nothing more than an attempt by Fox News to silence a vocal critic. Because they're nervous about how we're exposing what they truly are.

BTW, Steve Doocy is the ickiest on-air creep at Faux news.

I noticed there are no snippets from Shep Smith. I wonder if he refused to join the campaign.

4. FOX sure sounds nervous. I wonder what they are hiding

that they would invest so much air time to a group most dont even know about.

8. Well, one thing for certain.....

FOX should be well qualified to detect and identify an attack organization. Really and truly laughable allegations from this team of lying rubes! :rofl:

11. Dishonest. Media Matters does not RECEIVE tax dollars as these liars imply.

Media Matters has tax exempt status which means they do not PAY taxes. Furthermore, I could easily name DOZENS of extreme right wing groups who also enjoy tax exempt status whose political goals would be much more damaging to our democracy and its citizens. Just a few examples:

The Cato Institute
The Heritage Foundation
American Legislative Exchange Council
Americans for Prosperity
Focus on the Family
FreedomWorks
Citizens for a Sound Economy
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies
The Competitive Enterprise Institute
The Media Institute
The National Taxpayers Union

This is a great list to combat the right-wing with.
