Media Bias??? WHAT Media Bias?

HT to 186kps for this revelation:


As NewsBusters reported Sunday, the leftwing organization responsible for the recent smear campaigns against Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, Media Matters, has direct ties to the Clintons.

To be sure, folks on the left, and in the media that support them, will either deny this connection, or ignore it.

In the end, that's going to be hard to do, for on August 4, while speaking at the YearlyKos convention in Chicago, the junior senator from New York boasted of "institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress."

Our friend Mike Church has been kind enough to provide the following audio of this segment of her speech that day (partial transcript to follow). Those interested can also view the video available here (relevant section at 2:20):

We are certainly better prepared and more focused on, you know, taking our arguments, and making them effective, and disseminating them widely, and really putting together a network, uh, in the blogosphere, in a lot of the new progressive infrastructure, institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress.

Sounds like the junior senator confirmed my contention from Sunday: "Hillary and her backers have created an advocacy network whose expressed goal is to take down all of her critics in the media.

She continued:

You know, we're beginning to match what I had said for years was the advantage of the other side. Uh, you know, when I made that comment about the vast right-wing conspiracy, I wasn't kidding. Uh, what I never could have predicted is that it was not a conspiracy, it was just wide open and out there for everybody to see.

Well, Senator, it now appears that the advocacy network you "helped to start and support" is wide open and out there for everybody to see.

Talk about your inconvenient truths!

Great Post Trek,

I cant believe this crap. First General Patraeus, then Bill O'Reilly, then Rush Limbaugh.

Rush is a "Private Citizen" and this has to have a Resolution on the House and Senate Floor?

This has really gotten me upset.

The whole thing is a LIE!

And Hillary does need to be exposed for having everything to do with these organizations that continue to smear innocent people.

I am linking to this.

I think everyone is now aware of what we're up against. None of this surprises me except that our side is surprised. I have said all along that we will be up against the Clinton machine again and I meant it. Now let's get down to the business of getting a nominee that can beat these people or we will be turning our guns and our freedom in to the Clinton machine.
