Media Matters for America was founded to fight conservative "misinformation." But they don't fight liberal misinformation. They spread it. The Radio Equalizer blog is reporting that now that Rush Limbaugh's NFL-ownership bid is ruined, Media Matters is telling liberal radio hosts that maybe they could stop spreading absurd fake quotes about Limbaugh suggesting slavery had merits or Martin Luther King’s assassin deserved a medal. On the Stephanie Miller show on Wednesday, Karl Frisch of Media Matters suggested that the quotes were fictions, but that they fit Limbaugh’s other racist quotes:
You know, in fairness to Rush, those two out of literally dozens of racist things were not necessarily accurate. We were never able to find them. We’ve had people call us trying to find it. We don’t know where they came from. They could just be Internet apparitions. But you know, that being said, anyone who wants to know how racist he is, we’re happy to give them other examples.
"In fairness to Rush"? Those are words no one should expect out of Media Matters. In fact, Frisch spread the "slavery had its merits" quote on the Media Matters website.
On the same day that Bryan Burwell’s column came out with the fabrication, Frisch reposted most of it and endorsed it as "one hell of a column."
Only when Burwell noted that his editors questioned the quote did Frisch update that post. He didn’t retract the quote or apologize to Rush. He just ran a snippet of Burwell complaining that the fake quote was just one "deck chair off the Titanic." In a second update, Frisch posted the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s weasel words: "The Post-Dispatch continues to research the origin of the quote."
Frisch didn’t retract it then, either. He merely added: "For more on Limbaugh's history of racially charged comments, read this." He sent them to the Media Matters page of Limbaugh's "racially charged" remarks -- which avoided the fake quotes
When Fox News asked Media Matters last week about the fake quotes, they ran this response from Media Matters publicist Doug Stauffer: "We are unsure where that quote came from, as well. We have never posted them." That statement was...misinformation.
The unintentionally hilarious line from Stephanie Miller in response to Frisch: "In fact we always send people to you guys because you guys are obviously the most reputable around, in terms of you always make sure everything’s sourced." That's obviously....misinformation.
Media Matters ran a series of columns and commentaries mocking Limbaugh's failed NFL bid. In a blog post headlined "The pity party continues!" Eric Boehlert even offered this so-what response to Limbaugh being wronged with fake quotes:
I never said I supported slavery and I never praised James Earl Ray. How sick would that be?
How sick would that be? It would be about as sick as making this comment, which Limbaugh quite clearly did:
"We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black."
Most people would agree that "slavery had its merits" and "hurray, Martin Luther King's assassin" are not in the same universe of racial remarks as "bend over because Obama's father was black." You can be turned off by the last one, but it doesn't suggest blacks deserved slavery or assassination.
In a blog headlined "Irony Is Dead," Boehlert also mocked the idea that Limbaugh would hire lawyers to defend himself from defamation by fake quotes. He still can't acknowledge there were any fakes:
Actually, the fact-free talker is threatening to sue journalists who report what Limbaugh claims are falsehoods regarding him. Hmm, suddenly, Limbaugh doesn't like being on the other end of misinformation? Suddenly he's demanding folks back up and source all their information, in a way that he almost never does?
The major mouths at Media Matters are very publicly refusing to acknowledge that quotes from major-media figures need a footnote, an airdate, or an audio clip before you damage someone's career by suggesting they're a racist. If they don't have the facts, authentic foes of "misinformation" retract and apologize.

Not that this matters to any of us who know what they are, but even their supporters now have a smidgeon of doubt about the accuracy of the site, and that is a doubt that will cause them to ask questions, refuse the party line, and will eventually lead them off the Media Matters plantation.

The point is, the ONLY two comments from the infamous "top 10 list" that were undeniably racist were totally fabricated. The other are all comments that involve race--not racist comments. Libs try to claim there's no difference between the two, which only proves their own stupidity.

Ah, but they have literally dozens of other "racist" quotes by Rush available on request, huh? Rather than journalism it sounds more like the petty excuse-making of a busted 10-year-old little brat. What ever little crediblility they do have, they're losing it quick. From now on, the media will have to start fact-checking their fact-checkers if they don't want to come up with egg on their faces running bogus stories again..... Lack of credibility and childish excuse-making is no problem tho' when there's always the Soros cash to keep them on life support.

Media Matters provides Limbaugh's quotes, plus the recording from his shows. You can't source better than that.
Now tell me where Media Matters lies. Prove it. It should be very simple for you to prove what you claim, and so many hear accept as gospel.
BTW, this bloggers claim that " In fact, Frisch spread the "slavery had its merits" quote on the Media Matters website." Is pure dissembling. What Frisch did was post the article from the St. Louis Dispatch plus the update of the article that included Limbaughs denial of having said one of the quotes.
But, as the sportswriter says "There is still a huge pile of polarizing, bigoted debris stacked up on the deck of the good ship Limbaugh that he can't deny or even remotely distance himself from." And that fact remains.

Need a leg up on getting a job - Hope the personell manager isn't a racist
Need to get into a prestigious university - Hope that legacy admissions don't crowd out your opportunity to gain admission. White bread Bush daddy went to Yale, so his idiot son Georgie was automatically accepted - legacy admissions are the greatest affirmative action programs in education, comprising as much as 30% - 50% of admissions at some colleges.
Idiot son Georgie cowered in Texas behind the walls of his National Guard Barracks, while the black kid cowered behind the low earthen walls of the rice paddys in Viet Nam - the black kid knew his place back then though.
Need a get out on bail - Hope you weren't arrested in the first place by a racist cop for DWB (Driving While Black).
Need to get your 15 minutes of fame by characterizing people who disagree with you as racists - Hope instead that they gain the self awareness to understand that, yes, they really are Racists and disagreement has nothing to do with it.

"Least idiot son George got respectable grades unlike D student Kerry and Obama." You are so spectacularly wrong it's just gotta hurt to be you.
From the Wall Street Journal (link below).
"We're not sure the transcripts of Al Gore, John Kerry and George W. Bush -- which showed them to be C students -- illuminated much for voters."
"The McCain campaign won't release his records, but we know he graduated at the bottom of his Naval Academy class." In fact, McCain graduated 5th from the bottom in a class of 1,000 students. McCain, the idiot son of an Admiral, is another example of a college legacy admission. Don't you love that affirmative action for idiot sons of well connected great white fathers from Washington, D.C.
"Yet he (Obama) later graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude, so he knows how to get good grades." He was also president of the Harvard Law Review, a very prestigious honor.

It doesn't matter whether Dem or Repub, having succesful white fathers gave these, and many other Americans, a very big leg up on the competition.

Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law: "With great praise; an honor added to a diploma or degree for work considered greatly above average."
Obama also taught Law at U of Chicago Law, here are some quotes from a NY Times (link to article at bottom of page):
"Obama taught at the University of Chicago Law School for a decade before he left in 2003".
"Obama’s style resonated with students, who packed his classes despite the fact that his obligations as a state senator meant that when the Legislature was in session his courses were held early on Monday morning and on Friday afternoon. If his students begrudged the early risings and missed three-day-weekends, they didn’t take it out on Obama in their course evaluations: they routinely rated him as one of the best teachers at the law school."
George Bush was famous for his classroom performance as well, but he was rated a failure. He was sitting in a classroom with schoolchildren on 9/11 reading "My Pet Goat". When told by Andrew Card that "the second World Trade Center tower had been hit and that America was under attack", he sat there frozen for 7 minutes, not having any idea what to do in the circumstance.

BTW. The Taliban are addicting American soldiers on cheap Heroin, just as they did to the Russian army 25 years ago. Also in 2008 they produced 90% of the world's heroin under the watchful eye of Bush and Cheyney, importing it at will onto the streets of America.

Here's the Posner quote: "What we're seeing in Afghanistan is what we hope is the beginning of the problem" Earth to Cool, he saying he hopes it's just the beginning of the Taliban's efforts to addict US troops, and it's not too late. LOL!!!

October 25, 2009 - 23:03 ET by JWFThis is about you spreading lies. A return turd troll spreading lies.
It worked for the generation that grew up around Vietnam. They could not change the mind of the politicians of the time so they spread lies about the men in Vietnam. There is a poster up in the VFW hall here. It has the various badges of the units in Vietnam and above them is the words - Our cause was just. NO OTHER VETERANS OF ANY OTHER WAR HAD TO SAY THAT.
It was because of people like you troll that they have to justify to this day their very existence. You will not slur the men serving in Afghanistan and Iraq like the cowards did in the 70's. Not on my watch. They will not have to make that sign 20 years from now.

You have a wonderful way of going into outer space on tangents so that you don't have to address the subject at hand (which I kinda forget at the moment). But let's return to the questions that you just can't answer:
Answer this question: How is it that the Taliban is able to smuggle massive amounts of heroin from Afghanistan onto America's streets, but right wingers would incongruiouzly claim that Bush and Cheyney kept us safe?
And this Question: If the Taliban can smuggle heroin into the US at will, why can't they smuggle in Terrorists and WMD's???

The NY Times article
October 25, 2009 - 19:46 ET by Jack BauerThe NY Times article contains a lie in the first sentence. Obama was never a "professor."
Like much of his inflated resume, Obama simply made that up. He was a part time lecturer. About five levels below that of a tenured professor.
All this is well documented. Unlike anything he ever wrote whilst at college. Except that laughable college paper article which has been mocked across the internet for his sophomoric twitterings, and hackneyed ideas.
He has a fairly average mind; and is not original in anything I have ever heard him repeat by rote. He has never published anything of note as an academic.
Arts colleges produce hundreds of thousands like Obama. Nothing wrong with that. Just not remotely exceptional intellectually. He just parrots bad ideas he's picked up on the way en masse. He has no insight because he was taught by a bunch of old commies and reactionary Marxists.
Yep Jack,

Back up your claims with Links, JB.
Ah nevermind, ya got nuthin, Jack Bauer. You can only link to wing nut web sites as "proof" for your garbage. Here's a link to FactCheck.org that includes a quote from the Law School:
UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined."
You lied, Jack Bauer, "The NY Times article contains a lie in the first sentence. Obama was never a "professor." Be a man and take it back, say: "The New York Times did not lie". Wing nut heads will explode all over this page!!!
AS for this one, JB: "Except that laughable college paper article" Where's the link to it, JB? Can't wait to see this one.
Read a newspaper, JB, instead of wing nut websites - they just lie to ya and make you look like a fool.

October 26, 2009 - 00:01 ET by 007memoJWF, "You lying sack of dren".
I never said those things, you must learn to read. I have admonished you many times about that reading words that just don't exist on this planet.
I'm already well aware that the Congressmen reported 15% heroin addiction among Viet Nam sevicemen, but that wasn't the subject of my comment was it.
Anyway, to discredit Posner you claim that he was "severely criticized by many JFK assassination researchers", which translates to: Wing nut JFK Conpiracy Theorists were in a tizzy over Posner claiming there was no conspiracy. LOL!!! And COngress thought enough of his research that they had him testify before them on the subject. And he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for the book.
And I don't have any desire to defend Posner, but since you so speciously dismiss his reporting i guess I have to; he is in fact a widely respected investigative journalist. But why let facts get in the way of you calling someone a liar, JWF?
From Wikipedia:
John Martin of ABC News says "Gerald Posner is one of the most resourceful investigators I have encountered in thirty years of journalism." Garry Wills calls Posner "a superb investigative reporter," while the Los Angeles Times dubs him "a classic-style investigative journalist." "His work is painstakingly honest journalism" concluded the Washington Post. The New York Times lauded his "exhaustive research techniques" and The Boston Globe determined Posner is "an investigative journalist whose work is marked by his thorough and meticulous research." "A resourceful investigator and skillful writer," says The Dallas Morning News.

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"
Professor Flubber
October 26, 2009 - 08:53 ET by Jack BauerYou sound like an out of control hysterical loon.
Fortunately I have no interest in winning an argument with a moron such as yourself. What does that prove except what I already know about both of us?
But as an aside, and as a FACT: Barack Hussein Obama is not, never was a "professor" and will never be a "professor" no matter how many mendacious mis-statements you dig up, or how many times you jump up and down saying look at me I have this "quote" from "someone" being paid to "defend" Obama from legitimate criticism.
The misuse of the word "Professor," as a catch-all for anyone who teaches anything at a University, (by others and by the Liar-in-Chief himself) is meant to puff up this strutting peaock and inflate his massive ego.
It is risible in itself, as any genuine Professor will attest. The number one foundation to a professorship being the publication of academic study.
He also lied about his employment with a direct lie to inflate his position. He lies so routinely, helped by shills and enablers such as yourself, that they enter the public domain as fact.
That's a fact that drives racist Obama cultists like yourself crazy. As witnessed by your crazy race baiting race hustling posts.
Though I will allow him the title of Professor Flubber.
By the way, given the average standard of leftist professors at the liberal arts colleges, the title has lost much of its prestige anyway. Thus Obama would have been able to actually achieve the status he so clearly craved, but didn't have "time" to achieve, being so busy "organizing" the mob. A proto-Robespierre indeed. And we all know what happened to him as he was devoured by his own base creation.
Obama has a closed mind, hardly surprising as it was shaped by Marxist "professors" and he had no diversity of opinion from which to develop. He is utterly unoriginal and he has not produced one interesting idea of his own.
That's not really a problem in a Chief Executive. They have staff to do that. And I could usually care less, but liberals have this deluded idea that Obama is an "intellectual" and a deep "thinker" when it's patently obvious he is neither.
I understand how upsetting this is for you, given your Pavlovian slavering reaction to any criticism of the President.
I'm getting smarter Jack...
October 26, 2009 - 09:33 ET by MightyMouthI only had to look up one word in your post "risible". May I also say "YOU ROCK!" without appearing to be a groupie?
"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"
I call out your lies, and that translates to what, Jack Bauer?
October 27, 2009 - 01:13 ET by 007memoI call out your claims/lies, and that translates to what, Jack Bauer?
You claim Obama wasn't a professor, not based on any facts you present, but rather just on your say so. LOL!
The U of C says he was a Professor and you say he wasn't. Well now, that passes the sniff test for your fellow lemmings here in la la land, but not in the real world, JB. LOL!
And how do you know what I think of Obama? Criticize Obama all you like, have at it! I simply call you on your lies about Obama, ask you for facts to support those lies you tell, and watch as you bluster and "flubber" on and on about how your lies are anything but, because you say so. Well, that's pretty weak! LOL!!!
How can I do anything, Jack Bauer, but LOL! on, and on, about your deficient defenses of your lies?
I've said something to this effect before, perhaps somewhere else on this page: "Your kiddin me right? You're not really bothering to dispute the simple fact that Obama was a Professor at U of C? Why bother? Why is this so important to you? What is it you lose by admitting that your wrong?
I know the answer to these questions, are you self aware enough to know, Jack Bauer?
BTW, you allude to this one about Obama "being so busy "organizing" the mob."
You accept as fact the wing nut meme that Obama organized for Acorn, don't ya? Source your facts on that one, JB. Good luck! LOL!!!
"By the way, given the average standard of leftist professors at the liberal arts colleges" The broad course of study offered by a Liberal Arts education, which has lost it's popularity to specialized majors over the years, has proven to be a firm foundation for future success in all walks of life, including success in business. If I can find the research on the subject I'll link to it.
I can analogize here and recommend that you broaden your "course of study" on politics and read a newspaper or book, Jack Bauer, and not rely solely on sources that reinforce your pre-conceived notions.
7 whole minutes? And so far
October 25, 2009 - 22:01 ET by bassndude7 whole minutes? And so far Obama has done what? Truth be known he cannot even take credit for the stimulus. That was in progress before he took office. Obama has done what here? The Afgan question is even larger now because of frozen inaction on his part. The man sitting in the oval office today is incapable of making any decision. He cant even direct health care reform. He's a freakin moron! He parties and our troops die!
And the Vietnam question you raised is an out and out lie. You sniveling little coward! Heroin addicts in combat in Vietnam? I cannot speak for all units, but we did not have any troops in my units that smoked dope, or got high off anything other than beer and perhaps a little whiskey. You know nothing twit!

Do you think JWF will give me credit for defending him?

Answer this question: How is it that the Taliban is able to smuggle massive amounts of heroin from Afghanistan onto America's streets, but right wingers would incongruously claim that Bush and Cheyney kept us safe?

October 22, 2009 - 21:01 ET by JerIt should be obvious that most of my time is spent here, and not MediaMatters. But, in my experience when surfing the latter website, it appears MM sources its original material with audio, video, transcripts or a combination of the three. There may be a legitimate argument about context, or the inferences drawn from the linked subject matter, but not over its practice of sourcing in and of itself.
This case involved the reprinting of a segment of an opinion piece from a newspaper, penned by a columnist unassociated with MediaMatters. Follow-up information was provided regarding questions concerning the controversial quote contained in the column as they arose. This doesn't appear to suggest particularly egregious conduct on the part of MediaMatters. Does NB fact check every single claim made in every single article it links? I doubt it.
Jer
No egregious misconduct???
October 22, 2009 - 22:13 ET by Tim GrahamJer,
It is good for media critics to offer video and transcripts to back up their critiques, and Media Matters often does that. But in this case, they not only passed along a fictional quote as a reality, but when they were presented with their fiction, they blew it off and kept on mocking Limbaugh with the idea of "what he claimed" were fictional quotes.
If I wrote that you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and when presented with the lie, I merely ran an update from someone who claimed they were still "researching" to identify the lie, would you be satisfied? I doubt it.
Media Matters did not put out a corrections-and-apology box on this matter. They put out two middle fingers and an "in fairness to Rush, we can find his racism all over the place without these ghost quotes." If you think this is satisfactory and not objectionable, then you might be what Limbaugh calls a "seminar caller."

October 23, 2009 - 16:44 ET by Jer...they not only passed along a fictional quote as a reality, but when they were presented with their fiction, they blew it off and kept on mocking Limbaugh with the idea of "what he claimed" were fictional quotes.
Not exactly. They merely republished portions of a column without specifically commenting on any particular "quote", while relying upon the veracity and corroborative efforts of the author and the editors of the Post-Dispatch. They were then presented with doubts about the authenticity of the quote, and those doubts were so noted by MediaMatters. They neither "blew it off" nor mocked Limbaugh over the quote in question.
If I wrote that you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and when presented with the lie, I merely ran an update from someone who claimed they were still "researching" to identify the lie, would you be satisfied? I doubt it.
That's not an equivalent analogy. Let's say you referenced a column by Ann Coulter in which she claimed I had made an overtly racist statement. Should you have fact checked her column before linking it to verify every word she wrote was accurate. How would it impact your obligation if, in addition to linking the article, you reprinted a significant portion of it and said "Here's a great article by Ann" and included a link to the entire column?
What is NB's responsibility regarding not only blogs but forums, such as the one referencing Michele Bachmann's speech declaring "Obama denies Jesus" wherein the forum author explicitly adopted and endorsed what is at best a distortion of fact. Does anyone on NB's staff review such claims for accuracy?
Media Matters did not put out a corrections-and-apology box on this matter. They put out two middle fingers and an "in fairness to Rush, we can find his racism all over the place without these ghost quotes." If you think this is satisfactory and not objectionable, then you might be what Limbaugh calls a "seminar caller."
You continue to ignore MediaMatters updates directly addressing the authenticity of the quote. Why?
Finally, I give up...What is a "seminar caller"? I'm guessing it's not a compliment. :-)

Jer's word of the week
October 22, 2009 - 23:01 ET by JWFinference: the process of arriving at some conclusion that, though it is not logically derivable from the assumed premises, Jer can still pull it straight out of his butt.
JWF
October 22, 2009 - 23:40 ET by MrShyThat would be, his intellectually dishonest butt.
Jer continues to dig up a nook or cranny here and there (usually fabricated ones by him) in liberal behavior just enough for him to apologize on their behalf.
MrShy...
October 23, 2009 - 00:16 ET by JerYour penchant for slandering me indirectly instead of directly only further demonstrates your cowardice, MrShy. [And yes, calling one a "shyster" as both you and Dan did last night is slanderous, or libelous as the case may be. You might take some time to review what Matt Sheffield noted in commenting a few weeks ago at Shawn's forum about watching what you say on the NB threads.] It's also a flagrant abuse of the terms of use.
You are a complete embarrassment to this site, and to the standards of NewsBusters.

October 23, 2009 - 01:15 ET by MrShyDid you know Jer's on YouTube?
Jer, your observations are pointed and politely stated.
October 23, 2009 - 03:48 ET by 007memoJer, you made similar points to mine (I posted on another part of this page), but stated them better.
You are also supremely more polite and patient than I in the face of attacks by other commenters. I don't know what the heck you said to warrant the attacks from shy, jwf, etals?
Lastly, I've previously hesitated to offer any support for your comments since such coming from me will likely be the kiss of death.
Your previous incarnation Oddjob did not understand Latin either
October 23, 2009 - 04:05 ET by JWFIt is not etals idiot. It is et al.
The abbreviation et al. is often seen where a number of authors who worked on a report are referred to. It is short for the Latin et alii, meaning "and others".
Odd that Oddjob had the same Odd problem huh?

October 22, 2009 - 23:09 ET by The7SticksLook, do you think I really care whether Rush Limbaugh buys a football team or not? Well, actually, I do care which football team he buys since he was considering those traitorous St. Louis Rams. I mean, really, Rush? Why not get a home team like the Miami Dolphins and show some hometown pride?
That also brings me to this point that do I really care what somebody did? I don't care whether Rush Limbaugh said something or not, just as I don't care whatever that Kevin Jennings guy you brought up earlier said or does. If they are qualified in what they do, that's all I care about.
Your mom liked the St. Louis Rams in prison.

Ignorance, thy name is
October 22, 2009 - 23:43 ET by NL207Ignorance, thy name is sticks.
The St. Louis Rams ARE Limbaugh's home team. Limbaugh is from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, not all that far from St. Louis.
NL... You've got me

Being anti

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg
Well no, general, anti-Semitic is not the same as racism.
October 28, 2009 - 01:59 ET by 007memoWe should "not equate anti-Semitism with" racism, or "Islamophobia or other forms of prejudice." To do so is "dangerous". "That kind of postmodern relativist philosophy is just another way of refusing to research anti-Semitism as a phenomenon sui generis."
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1227702420024&pagename=JPArticle%2FShowFull
Plus, the definition of racism and anti-Semitism are diferrent.
More poignant though, your "race baiting" accusations inform your lack of self awareness.
The troll was racist before too.
October 28, 2009 - 02:04 ET by JWF007memo aka williams411: Garofalo is right. The tea bagging parties were nothing more than a bunch of KKK rallies. Also, why do you guys hate keith olbermann so much? Its like you always have to mention him. Whats with the obession? Its gotten almost as bad as KKKlannity's obsession with william ayers and reverend wright.
