Well if MRC is the leading one, then I wonder if the argument for a liberal media is in trouble!
Of course the media could be made up of liberals pushing an agenda through far argument. But a comparison of MediaMatters vs MediaResearch shows that conservative misinformation, misleading statement, quotes taken out of context, and flat out lies is much more prevelent. MRC reports what it sees as liberal leanings in the media but rarely anything close to the lies in MM items on conservatives.
The President of MRC wrote
this article a few days ago. He manges to take Mertha way out of context to paint him as anti-war and then suggests the house voted down Mertha's resolution ("Bush 403, Mertha 3") (
here ).
Mertha's resolution of course was to start withdrawing troops now to be out in perhaps 6 months, leaving a rapid reaction force in perhaps Kuwait, while the mesure voted on was a one-line Republican resolution saying withdraw all tropps now. Did Brent know Mertha himself didn't vote for the Republican resolution? Of course. Are you telling me this spin guy is the President of the most legit fact-checking documenter of the liberal media? Weak.........and perhaps telling.
