I don’t see anything particularly corrupt about mediamatters. Just the normal baseline level of corruption one sees in US politics where corruption has been legalized.
It’s just a blatantly partisan operation mostly dedicated to criticism of conservative media with close ties to the Democratic Party and the Clintons.
If anything I’m more critical of the SLAPP free speech advocate Elon issued against Media Matters, and Ken Paxton using his power to direct government resources towards a partisan investigation of Media Matters in response to this drama. These BOTH strike me as more corrupt than Media Matters pointing out what posts are appearing by what ads to put pressure on advertisers to cut their ties with Twitter. If anything Musk and Paxton are helping media matters look squeaky clean by contrast.
- smitty1e 3y agoPossibly I am a bit of a right-wing reactionary here, but I have nothing nice to say about Media Matters. My hope is that the case establishes on the record all of the skullduggery that MM peddles. One must support and defend MM's 1A right to be complete pieces work within legal limits. Reasonable persons should also reject their nonsense. In fact, let me go subscribe to X right now. This is a move I have resisted, but the cause of fighting the nitwits merits support.
