Media Matters was/isd run by the self-admitted liar for the right wing conspiracy that hunted Clinton. This man decided to expose the right wing for what it was doing. He is always going to be suspect because of his past so he has to source everything he says
When the right wing employed the man his stories were carried in major media but mostly first right wing media, without the kinds of availability of fact checking that MM offers with each charge.
When I use MM as a source, I check out the links and more. I have seen a few stories I think are biased bs, but they are easily identifiable because MM in their stories, gives me the ability to check their stories out. Very few sources do that much. It's a breath of fresh air.
Now it may irk you and others that they go after the right. But they admit that is why they were set up in the first place. So what is the beef? You have a beef with exposing lies -- with sources you can follow to judge for yourself? DO you prefer stories with no links?
I am not going to get into an argument with you over Media Matters and its credibility. I can post article after article that is a half truth or a distortion. I don't put much faith in any right wing or leftwing source as I prefer actual data from non partisan sites like bea.gov, bls.gov, U.S. Census data, and the U.S. Treasury. Nothing else really matters.
GW Bush was attacked daily by Media Matters and continues to be attacked to this day by others that want to ignore actual results. I have absolutely no use for George Soros, Media Matters, or any other leftwing source just like I have learned to trust but verify any "rightwing" source. Suggest you do the same thing.
