Progressive Democrat Issue 49: MEDIA ACTION II

The right wing propaganda machine has been targeting their main critic. Those who know Mediamatters.org know that they are one of the best counters to the right wing lies and distortions.

A plea from Mediamatters.org:

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is leading an aggressive right-wing attack on Media Matters. O'Reilly and his allies see the success that Media Matters has had combating conservative misinformation in the media, and they are afraid. So they are lashing out at us, hoping to destroy us so that we can no longer hold them accountable for their false claims.

…last night, O'Reilly attacked us again. Using his platform as host of a cable news program, O'Reilly is relentlessly attacking us, night after night -three days in a row now, and four in recent weeks ... and countless more times on his radio show.
To be clear: O'Reilly has not pointed out a single factual error in our work. He offers no examples, no facts. He simply insults us, and makes baseless claims about us. He's a bully, and he's lashing out at us because we fight back against his lies and misinformation.

If you haven't done so yet, stand with us -and with other Americans from across the country -and stand up to Bill O'Reilly. Please donate now to help combat conservative misinformation, and be sure to sign up now to receive important email updates from Media Matters.

I hesitate to publicize mediamatters.org to you because you might not need my newsletter if you rely on them! But, they are fighting the good fight. Help them out.
