Media Matters Video: In Response to RW Hate - Please Watch !
https://mediamatters.org/donate/thetruthhurts/ (This video is damning and absolutely frightening )

"Scum-sucking vermin"... "Insane"... "Brownshirts"... "Swine"... "Little nerdlings"... "Guttersnipes"... "Little Nazi block-watchers..."

From David Brock: That's just a sampling of what Media Matters for America has been called by right-wing media figures over the past five years. I founded Media Matters in 2004 because, at the time, there was no organization devoted to monitoring and correcting conservative misinformation and propaganda in the media in real time, and because there was no group dedicated to fighting back against the efforts of hate-mongers to twist journalism to their ends. And in spite of the attacks against us, Media Matters has been able to sharpen and increase its influence on the media every year. Given the reactions we've seen from the conservative echo chamber, it's clear we are having an impact. Help us continue our fight today so that we can hold them accountable tomorrow.

(if this has already been posted, I apologize )

3. This is very important..
I hope that many will pay attention. Unfortunately, here it is mostly preaching to the choir.

4. I take it that Media Matters DIDN'T follow the Religious Reich's example
of having several dozen people listening to Howard Stern every day since he first took the air?

(Had to have several going at the same time ... the "investigators" either had cerebral hemorrhages, or had to get another box of tissues to clean up after listening ...)
