For Deceitful David Brock’s Media Matters, X MARKS THE SPOT!

Not since the glorious day when the late great Rush Limbaugh sent Squatter-on-the-Truth David Brock of Media Matters For America on the run has hope for the Return of Freedom of Speech risen so high.

CEO Elon Musk of X—whose motto should be ‘X Marks The Spot’—has openly accused Brock’s left-wing media watchdog group of manipulating data on one of the Internet world’s largest social media platform, attracting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the critical cause.

"We are examining the issue closely to ensure that the public has not been deceived by the schemes of radical left-wing organizations who would like nothing more than to limit freedom by reducing participation in the public square," said Paxton.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is opening an investigation into Media Matters for "potential fraudulent activity" after X CEO Elon Musk accused the left-wing media watchdog group of manipulating data on the social media platform. (Fox News, Nov. 20, 2023).

    “After a slew of advertisers, including IBM, Apple, Disney, Lionsgate and Paramount, fled X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk pledged to hit the watchdog group with a "thermonuclear lawsuit.”

Oh, Happy Day!


    “Media Matters published a report on Friday accusing X of placing ads next to "white nationalist hashtags." However, Musk believes that the group "completely misrepresented the real user experience" in order to mislead advertisers. (Fox News)
    “Last week, Musk found himself in hot water after commenting on a post on X that critics believe was anti-Semitic. Since then, the tech billionaire has clarified that anyone posting genocidal content will be suspended from X.
    "At risk of stating the obvious, anyone advocating the genocide of *any* group will be suspended from this platform," Musk wrote in a post on X.
    "As I said earlier this week, ‘decolonization’, ‘from the river to the sea’ and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide. Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension," Musk wrote.
    “Nonetheless, the White House spokesman Andrew Bates condemned Musk, saying that the people's house condemns "abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans.”

“This is not the first time advertisers vacated the social media platform. Last year, when Musk first took over Twitter, now known as X, he promised to restore free speech to the platform. In response, hundreds of advertisers pulled their ads.

    "Now, the CEO is hoping to uncover the truth behind the Media Matters report, saying "the discovery and depositions will be glorious to behold."(Fox News)
    “Media Matters did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment."

(LOL! And likely never will!)

Ultra shrewd Musk likely already knows that Media Matters are using the very same patterns on him as they tried on talk show radio giant Rush Limbaugh.

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s newest email spam, asking their recipients to sign a petition calling for sponsors to end their relationship with The Rush Limbaugh Show, is based on the two-year old Stop Rush political protest as its inspiration. After an investigation, The Rush Limbaugh Show has discovered a far darker story to Stop Rush, and is today releasing the hidden story of the people and motives behind the Stop Rush conspiracy."(Business Wire, Sept. 23, 2014)

    “A small number of politically motivated out-of-state activists are distributing target lists indiscriminately, and annoying small businesses until they give up the advertising deals that help them grow, or risk being unable to conduct business at all. It’s not even activism… it’s blackmail”, according to Brian Glicklich, Rush Limbaugh Show spokesperson.
    “The Stop Rush group claims to be made up of ordinary consumers unhappy with Rush Limbaugh’s comments. The group claims to be “grassroots,” just concerned consumers who won’t shop at businesses that advertise with Rush Limbaugh. In truth, however, there are no potential customers here, just a small number of hardcore political activists—founded by Angelo Carusone, EVP of Media Matters for America. (Emphasis CFP’s)

    “It’s remarkably tiny. Only 10 Twitter users account for almost 70% of all StopRush tweets to advertisers, amplified by illicit software. In addition, almost every communication from a StopRush activist originates from outside the State of the advertiser. Thus, these activists are not and never would have been customers… their only role is to harass small businesses in an attempt to interfere with their operations, as long as they are advertising with Rush. (Business Wire)
    “How does this small group make themselves look so much bigger than they actually are? According to The Rush Limbaugh Show, Stop Rush has deployed custom automated tweeting software, in violation of Twitter’s rules, that lets their activists send tweets at a rate far faster than any unassisted person could do manually. They send barrages of thousands of messages through this software until advertisers are bullied and harassed into cancellation.
    “These activists have long operated in secret and anonymously, the show says. But now, The Rush Limbaugh Show has the results of an investigation that names the people tweeting, facebooking, and emailing small businesses with harassing and bullying messages over and over until they surrender. These names are surprising, and include a professor at Kent State University using her official email account to badger advertisers.”

    “Historians will remember 1994 as a watershed year in American politics. This was the year that modern liberalism, the ideology dominating nearly every important cultural and political institution in the country, tipped its hand, revealing its deep insecurity. The summer of 1994 will be remembered as the season that liberals, acutely aware of the seismic rumbles just below the surface of American politics and society, unleashed their fury against a man who is neither a politician nor a candidate for political office. This was the summer all hell broke loose against the “most dangerous man in America.”
