Not surprisingly, the one who is ultimately debunked is Media Matters. MMatters’ post contains a lengthy list of deception and misleading information. Here you go: 1. What Media Matters doesn’t tell ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/09/23/media-matters-bogus-culture-warrior-attack/ On September 15, 2006, HBO’s Bill Maher claimed that CBS Evening News would not allow him to discuss religion on its "Free Speech" segment. Media Matters jumped on the story and splashed it on the top of its front page. The problem is that the story wasn’t true. The evidence suggests that ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/09/21/media-matters-propagates-bill-maher-falsehood/ Reaching a new level of desperation, a September 7, 2006, post is rife with errors, falsehoods, and inaccuracies. MMatters makes an absolutely ridiculous attempt to save its face regarding the Joe Wilson-Valerie Plame affair. MMatters and other liberal outlets have been roundly discredited since it has now been publicly confirmed that ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/09/07/media-matters-serves-up-a-host-of-falsehoods/ An August 31, 2006, post by Media Matters continues to underscore the organization’s dishonesty in their presentation of facts. In the post, MMatters takes issue with an interview with President Bush conducted by the liberal Brian Williams that aired on NBC and MSNBC August 29 and 30, 2006. There are several ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/09/01/more-misinformation-from-media-matters-in-smear-of-president-bush-and-vp-cheney/ An August 29, 2006, post by Media Matters falsely claims that columnist and commentator George Will "misrepresented a reported scientific breakthrough." Mr. Will clearly did no such thing. Media Matters’ bogus attack stems from an announcement from a company called Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) that claimed it "successfully generated human embryonic stem ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/08/28/media-matters-falsely-attacks-george-will/ Here is another classic case in which readers must investigate themselves the veracity of claims made by Media Matters. An August 22, 2006, post makes the follwing false claim: The truth? Colson did no such thing. In making their false claim, Media Matters cites an August 16, 2006, "BreakPoint" commentary by Mr Colson. Colson ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/08/25/media-matters-falsely-attacks-of-chuck-colson/ This is PART II (here’s PART I) of debunking Media Matters’ August 7, 2006, post, which executes a bogus attack on Ann Coulter’s endnotes in her book, Godless.

(MMatters #9) ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/08/15/media-matters-bogus-endnotes-attack-part-ii/ As duplicitous as Media Matters has been in the past, a post on August 7, 2006, attacking Ann Coulter is especially low for the organization. Staffers at Media Matters spent considerable time combing through the text and endnotes of Ann Coulter’s latest book, Godless. MMatters has examined her book with the proverbial fine-tooth comb. They ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/08/08/bogus-attack-on-ann-coulter-part-i/ An August 2, 2006, post from Media Matters contains a false claim and erroneous information. 1.

As this 2000 CNN article clearly reveals, three principle witnesses, ... http://mediamatters.blogsome.com/2006/08/03/erroneous-information-false-claim-another-bogus-media-matters-post/
