Holy crap, what a based media outlet.
- They actually have data to back up their claims
- They provided the methodology they used to conduct their investigation
- They (correctly) identified it as Clinton's server instead of Clinton's emails
- They're a not for profit
Media matters - I'll personally remember that name and you should to. Real journalism. Based.
They are great, and have been around for quite a while now. Stephen Colbert (O'Lielly used to rail against them all the time; and cons call them "hateful", lol):
I don’t think Stephen Colbert was being serious when he said that quote. Mind you, all the quote sites that cite him saying that do not provide the source. Based on his persona from The Colbert Report, I imagine this was part of a joke, especially given the names he called out.
Yes, he was totally doing that in character, if memory serves. Mocking the likes of Klannity and O'Lielly getting butthurt over the factual Media Matters.
I remember linking to that site in an exchange with someone I know, and they responded (this was over email) with "oh, Media Matters. Of course you'd rely on something even more liberal than the MSM!", or words to that effect. Not bothering to rely on the subject at hand, of course. It was just, oh, Media Matters, and noping out, LOL.
For qons, fact-checking qon nonsense and using their own words against them is like salt on a slug. It's weird how so many of the prominent ones now openly sneer and whine about being fact-checked! For years, the more low-info base would cry about sources, now people like bobo and empty g and "JD" "Vance" will whine about in in the moment. Not realizing it is not the flex they think it is to cry about not being able to brazenly lie without being called on it.
