Agitprop Media Matters' Green (publishing) House Effect

Weasel Zippers
Politico's Ken Vogel first reported Reid's commentsDaily Caller

Read the orgasmic reviews of Media Matters' rabid pedestrian attempts to portray Fox News as Roger Ailes's "propaganda machine" from the likes of Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, James Carville and more! 

Washington Examiner's Mark Tapscott“The Fox Effect” is every bit as insightful and scintillating a read as the Media Matters website. And if you flip to the endnotes, you will realize that it actually is the Media Matters website. Both the book and the tax-exempt, George Soros-funded website serve as reminders of how silly liberals can become when they abandon their historic role as the destroyers of established orthodoxies.

The apparent motivation behind both is a deep fear that someone on some television set somewhere might be failing to embrace their orthodoxies with sufficient enthusiasm — or worse, giving aid and encouragement to heresy.

The Fox Effect’s sweeping characterizations provide early warnings of its quality. . . . Brock’s book is based on a flawed premise, confuses news and opinion programming, and misrepresents major players. There may yet be a book of legitimate criticism of Fox News, but “The Fox Effect” isn’t it.

  5. A reminder of why Harry Reid still matters:  Virtually any republican could have beaten him 2 years ago, except the ideologically-pure cipher picked in the primary by tea partiers who couldn't bear to depart from total orthodoxy. 
    Something to keep in mind when contemplating who can retire Obama.
