When David Brock’s “Blinded By The Right” came out I read it right away. While I found the book fascinating, by the end of it I hated the author. He did these awful things, destroying Anita Hill, accusing Clinton of everything from cheating on his wife to murder, then admitted he had nothing real to back up these charges. It was literally a vast right-wing conspiracy. He said he felt bad about it… but is that really enough?

So Brock had completely lied about liberals and their thieving, murderous ways… then he sold out all his conservative friends and was playing the other side… I just rolled my eyes. After all that, how can you trust a word he says?

Now he’s running a web site- Media Matters for America which documents right-wing misinformation in the media.

We need sites like Media Matters. I don’t know if he’ll be able to make up for all the awful things he’s done, but this is a start. This is a topic that hasn’t been covered sufficiently- This morning I watched the Fox morning show crew talk at length about how unlikable Kerry is and how he’s ugly, and he has an odd shaped head. This is neither news nor entertainment, this is just hate. Someone needs to point this stuff out.

I mean, even the closeted weatherman is a right-wing hack. Since when is the weatherman a partisan position?!?! Just tell me if it’s raining, jackass!

The beauty of Media Matters is that if they ever run low on material they can turn on Fox News for five minutes.
