She Persisted: Media Matters Is Still Trying to Dunk on Sharyl Attkisson, but She's Having None of It

As I’ve written before, I can honestly say that Media Matters is one of the worst websites on the left when it comes to making false, distorted, hypocritical, or at the very least misleading claims about things Republicans, anchors/journalists on Fox News, and critics of the mainstream media say or do.

Not stated anywhere on MMFA’s website, but which is nevertheless understood by conservatives who have monitored them over the years, is that it is an unwritten rule that people who work or intern for MMFA must despise Republicans, Fox News, and anyone else who may not fit in those two categories but who nevertheless is a frequent critic of the liberal media.

MMFA’s ultimate goal is to smear those voices to the point that they either shut up or get shut down.

Former CBS News journalist and author/media critic Sharyl Attkisson has been a popular target for MMFA’s underhanded, deceitful, Soros-funded machine, but fortunately she never backs down in the face of their frequent onslaughts.

Such was the case on Monday, when Attkisson tweeted out the news that a media source told her Media Matters hacks are still after her:

After tweeting out this information, some of her followers had some good questions about Media Matters, which she took the time to answer. One asked why she didn’t sue MMFA:

So is her case against the DOJ over? No:

She also talked about how MMFA gets their dark money:

Another Twitter user had a good question: Does anyone pay attention to anything they have to say anymore? Unfortunately, yes:

She also noted something many other media watchers have observed: how frequently MMFA gets referenced as a source without the publisher/outlet informing readers of their hard-left bias:

Not only do they get stories “planted” at various so-called “respectable” news outlets like CNN, these same outlets invite staffers for MMFA on to their programs and treat them as though they are mainstream sources that have no biases one way or the other. These same outlets also parrot their talking points.

Even Democratic presidential candidates like Elizabeth Warren (MA) have been known to regurgitate MMFA’s talking points, though in Warren’s case she didn’t give them any credit. Not a big deal to MMFA in the scheme of things, though. In fact, they view Warren buying their story hook, line, and sinker as a victory.

MMFA hasn’t been around as long as they have just because of the billionaires who fund it. They’ve also been able to stick around and be a frequent player in national news stories because so-called “journalists” like Brian Stelter are eager to give them a legitimacy and respect they don’t deserve.

Kudos to Sharyl Attkisson for continuing to stand her ground against them by way of continuing to expose who and what they really are.
