Media Matters founder David Brock suffers heart attack

The Hill:

Media Matters founder David Brock has suffered a heart attack but is expected to make a "swift recovery," a senior aide said Wednesday.

"David Brock suffered a heart attack while working in the Washington DC office early Tuesday," Bradley Beychok, Brock's chief of staff, said in a statement.

Brock, 54, a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, founded the nonprofit liberal media watchdog publication Media Matters for America in 2004.


Hmm, just had dinner with him last week. Hope he recovers quickly.
