I love media matters. I applaud their courage in taking on Fox everyday.
But, I am perplexed as to why they give a pass to the vast majority of journalists from the Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal who put forward GOP talking points about the deficit, health care and many other issues. Why don't they point out that they are not reporting but instead are simply passing forward factually challenged propaganda.
I think they would be most effective in shaming the journalists who actually have to at least appear to be objective rather than those at Fox who are under no such requirement.
Yes, we have Dean Baker and TPM doing this occasionally but a systematic effort to show "right wing media" bias in mainstream media would be hugely helpful as it is the "very serious media's" happy recitation of "Fox stories" that is really hurting the progressive agenda.
Does anyone know someone at MMA? Can you explain what they are thinking?
