Media Matters: ‘Yentl’ Without the Music?
January 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In all the time I’ve been covering Media Matters, I’ve only spotted a couple of female bylines attached to their “reports.”

I stopped eating pork about eight years ago, after a scientist happened to mention that the animal whose teeth most closely resemble our own is the pig.

At Media Matters, ‘Firing Squad’ Wears the Blindfolds
The more I think about Media Matters taking credit for the “firing” of Lou Dobbs, the stupider the situation gets.
Even if Media Matters is responsible for Dobbs’ departure (which I doubt), how pathetic and ineffectual does that make them look?
