Media Matters likes to portray itself as a “watchdog group.” It’s not. The organization is nothing more than a two-bit group of enforcers working for the regime. If you don’t align with the progressive agenda, groups like Media Matters will come after you and make you feel the pain. That’s precisely what they’ve done to Revolver in the past, and it’s the same tactic they’re using against Elon Musk’s X platform. Media Matters likes to use advertisers as a weapon, initiating fake boycotts and stretching the truth like saltwater taffy to coerce companies into withdrawing their ads. And if the companies don’t comply, they’ll likely find themselves on Media Matters’ “naughty list” too. It’s a relentless cycle of threats and blackmail, raising questions about how they’re allowed to continue these tactics. The good news is that they might finally face consequences, thanks to Elon, who is now suing them. If you’ll recall, the ADL—another regime punisher group—attempted a similar tactic against X, but when Elon threatened legal action, they backed off. However, Media Matters has deeper pockets, so they picked up where the ADL left off.

Nonetheless, Elon is going after them full-force.

CNN:

After a devastating advertiser exodus last week involving some of the world’s largest media companies, X owner Elon Musk is suing the progressive watchdog group Media Matters over its analysis highlighting antisemitic and pro-Nazi content on X — a report that appeared to play a significant role in the massive and highly damaging brand revolt.

The lawsuit filed Monday accuses Media Matters of distorting how likely it is for ads to appear beside extremist content on X, alleging that the group’s testing methodology was not representative of how real users experience the site.

“Media Matters knowingly and maliciously manufactured side-by-side images depicting advertisers’ posts on X Corp.’s social media platform beside Neo-Nazi and white-nationalist fringe content and then portrayed these manufactured images as if they were what typical X users experience on the platform,” the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas said. “Media Matters designed both these images and its resulting media strategy to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp.”

The lawsuit marks the latest example of Musk’s favored response to his critics, and seeks to direct blame for the advertiser backlash onto third-party groups after Musk, in the same week, publicly endorsed the antisemitic claim that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”

The lawsuit simultaneously names Media Matters and Eric Hananoki, its senior investigative reporter, as defendants. It calls for a judicial order forcing Media Matters to remove its analysis from its website and accuses Media Matters of interfering with X’s contracts with advertisers, of disrupting their economic relationships and of unlawfully disparaging X.

Well, now, it appears that Media Matters might have made a significant blunder when challenging Elon. New evidence has emerged suggesting that Media Matters engaged in fraudulent activities while pressuring companies to withdraw their advertising from X. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is making the claim on behalf of the citizens of his state, and he’s prepared to pursue legal action against Media Matters.

Here’s a closeup of the letter written by AG Bailey:

AG Bailey goes on to say the following:

Enemies of free speech are attempting to kill X because they cannot control it, and we are not going to let Missourians be subject to fraud in the process.

I’m fighting to ensure progressive tyrants masquerading as news outlets cannot manipulate the marketplace in order to wipe out free speech.

Media Matters attempted to coerce Elon into a progressive agenda, but all they managed to do was trigger a series of angry lawsuits. Let’s hope more conservative states join in and take legal action against this tyrannical group of liberal enforcers. Because, let’s face it, Media Matters is just like Antifa, but with better clothes and more showers.
