HUGE HAPPY NEWS! David Brock's new watchdog web site against VRWC

[grasswire]

This will make your month!

David Brock's new web site "Media Matters" is up this morning. It is intended to track and debunk the lies of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. He got a couple of million as startup money, and is off like a rocket.

Check it out! Bookmark it! It's the next best thing to our beloved mediawhores.

9. Hey,

Thanks. Actually I've been around a while, 19 posts! Other people usually say things better than me so I let them. But I am a true peace kitty. Are you from Arizona?

[rbnyc]

22. I was born in AZ

I grew up in Chicago, and now I live in Brooklyn.

I know what you mean about letting other people say things. If it weren't for the Lounge I might have 19 posts too.

2. Thanks, this may be the site to get information to ....

republicans and conservatives who, bamboozled by these thugs, are good people at heart but don't have the means to understand how they are BEING USED.

3. And they are ridiculing the Frat Boy comment by Hannity

This guy is quick.

[TacticalPeek]

5. Quick and pervasive.

The sheer volume is the story.

Just day one, and it will snowball bigtime. How rotten must the stink be before Joe Sixpack smells it?

6. It's very good

Good enough to rip off (I ripped off one of their articles about World Net Daily for my website).

7. Hallelulah

David Brock on TV. Wow!

The Center For American Progress now this.

I could tee tee.

Wonderful.

But-all in vain if DNC and McAuliff do not work at Precinct level.

Spend 100 M on tv but let voters sit home on election day.

3,040 counties. Who is coordinating. Nothing in this area.

Spend money at precinct level. Quick.

10. kick for Brock!

13. Just what the Doctor ordered-

This is a great way to keep up with the RW puke pundits without actually having to listen to them on a constant basis.

14. will MWO ever publish again?

Brock's site is great ! but I'd like to find out what happened to MWO? I missed the memo on why they no longer update (certainly not for lack of media whoring!)

Tut-tut

17. Just wondering, was MWO Brock's site?

MWO died and look what sprang up some months later.

Just a thought.

20. I was thinking MWO faded when Bartcop

became diagnosed -- coincidence?

15. Here's a little bio on Brock, he's gotta new book coming out

David Brock is the author of four political books, including the forthcoming The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy (to be released this month by Crown). His preceding book, Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative, was a 2002 New York Times best-selling political memoir in which he chronicled his years as a conservative media insider. Brock serves on the advisory board of Democracy Radio Inc. and is the recipient of the New Democrat Network’s first award for political entrepreneurship. He is the President and CEO of Media Matters for America.

16. Woo Hoo

I like the title of the book:

The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy


The way the Republicans are acting now is counter to what democracy is about. They worship the state and its figurehead (Dubya) and they try to shut down or intimidate those with other points of view.

The neo-cons are killing this country.

21. Awesome site... some real potential there

23. David Brock deserves tremedous credit

because he was the first from the RW to desert and tell all. I appreciated his book because it validated what we knew about the RW. He also knew, like they all do, once you leave the mud is headed your way. The attack dogs, as Richard Clark put it.

I'm glad he's still doing what needs to be done.
