Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter and has become known as a supporter of free speech, he has been attacked left and right by the mainstream media. Media Matters has gone on a defamatory attack against Musk for the past two weeks.

What is Media Matters? And who funds them?

youtu.be...

The NY Times reported back in 2004, Media Matters was created by the Democratic Party operative David Brock with the help of the Center for American Progress. This is a Democratic Party think tank and lobby shop, which is funded by none other than George Soros. NYT also claimed that Media Matters has received "more than $2 million in donations from wealthy liberals."

After Hillary lost to Trump in 2016, Brock retooled Media Matters to move into the digital space and attack “misinformation.” We know these days that misinformation, is any information that the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear.

According to Bill O'Reilly, George Soros is funding Media Matters through Democracy Alliance today -- an organization of progressive donors. O'Reilly has called Media Matters character assassins, which is effectively what they're trying to do to Musk. The organization has stated publicly on numerous occasions that Soros has never given money to the organization either directly or through another organization. This is clearly a lie - misinformation, propaganda, and defamation are the business strategies of Media Matters.

Media Matters is a cenorship organization for the far-left masquerading as a watchdog. Its business is built on lies and money from Anti-Americans like Soros. Media Matters is now being sued into oblivion by X, and If X wins its lawsuit, Media Matters may not survive, and this will be another great blow to the censorship industrial complex.

The Ford Foundation, another funder of radical causes, gave $4 million to MM from 2010 to 2015. Other far-left organizations behind MM include the Tides Foundation (Soros), MoveOn (Soros), and the Democracy Alliance (Soros) – which together have funneled millions to groups like MM in the past decade alone.

In 2021, Soros-associated groups gave, at minimum, hundreds of thousands to Media Matters, and they have likely given up to $10 million in total since it was founded in 2003. In 2010 alone, Soros himself donated $1 million directly to MM.

Politico confirms, "Media Matters, has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds or has funded. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress." So it's confirmed.

Oh, and let’s not forget Hillary Clinton. In 2007, she bragged that she “helped to start and support” Media Matters.

So, Media Matters is a Soros-funded censorship organization, using defamation and propaganda to push their agenda. It's essentially George Soros.

This begs the question, who is George Soros?

Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson are both quoted as saying that George Soros hates America, western civilization, and humanity. Let's see if there's any truth to this.

Soros was a head fund manager, and got even more rich by crashing the British Pound and breaking the bank of England in 1992- on purpose. Effectively getting rich by trying to destroy the British economy, he hates western nations, the freedom that they stand for, and freedom of speech.

The media, that he pays off, calls him a 'philanthropist,' even though he spends money to fund campaigns of DAs in the Untied States who purposely do not enforce violent crime, since Soros tells them not to. It's very clear that Soros hates America, the money that he puts into the political system is purposely meant to unravel society in western countries.

The reason Elon is suing Media Matters is for fraudulently reporting X was purposely placing big corporations' ads next to Nazi posts. Those woke companies like Apple, IBM and Disney ended up boycotting X. As a result, at the New York Times Summit Elon told them to go F themselves, directed at Bob Iger of Disney.

Far-left "watchdog" group Media Matters for America said that it found ads from IBM, Apple and others were purposely placed alongside content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. They went out of their way to contact these companies and threaten them with negative publicity if they don't pull their ads from X. It's very clear that anyone can make an account on X and post any content, and it wouldn't surprise me if media matters created this pro-nazi content themselves. Soros is known to be a dirty pig who doesn't play by the rules.

As a response to this, Musk wrote, "The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and all those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company."

For years, media Matters has been a dishonest shop that makes up charges of antisemitism, racism, and other defamation against innocent people and businesses. Musk has called Media Matters' bluff, and will likely sue them into bankruptcy. Their business model is not only unethical, but anti-American.

Referring to Media Matters, Musk said at the New York Times Summit that everywhere he, "sees people worried about looking good, and doing evil." This is exactly how Media Matters operates.

Now let's look into Bob Iger. He's a campaign donor to Biden, and has donated 250K to Biden's campaign and began pressing the Biden Administration for job even before Biden had been sworn into office. Last summer, he swore to stay out of the "culture wars," before hiring a Biden press secretary to handle culture war issues.

Iger is also is a significant funder of Biden's re-election campaign. Clearly he hates free speech, and wants the downfall of Twitter/X in order to further his censorship campaign, since Biden is clearly the worst president of the last half century.

Media matters even attacked Jimmy Corsetti, a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience for suggesting that our human historical timelines could be wrong and there have been advanced civilizations earlier in time. Corsetti claimed it's possible they've been eliminated through natural disasters and other events in our past. It seems they want to be the arbiters of truth, and will not stand for anyone thinking for themselves.

Tucker Carlson said, "Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by Soros and other people who hate western civilization."

Back to the Twitter issue, Obviously anyone is allowed on Twitter, and ads can appear anywhere on the timeline. Ads were not purposely 'placed' next to whoever was promoting Adolf Hitler and the nazi party related content. Media Matters obviously looked up nazi content on purpose, and kept refreshing the page multiple times in order to screenshot a page next to ads in order to try to blackmail Elon Musk, since they're Soros funded. And Soros despises Elon Musk! Since Elon said it's clear that George Soros hates humanity based on what he does - everything he does seems to be attempting to contribute to decline in society - buying off DAs who purposely don't enforce crime.

Media Matters is attacking both JRE and X/Twitter, both of which stand for free speech. Both are disrupting the establishment, and taking viewership from the mainstream media - and market share. It's common knowledge that mainstream media has sold off its credibility to propagandists like Soros, and considering that legacy media is a dying business at this point, it's not a surprise that Media Matters, Disney, and other woke organizations are doubling down on their attacks on free speech. Especially since Media Matters is Soros funded - and Soros is a hater of America.

The mainstream media in the US is clearly incahoots with Media Matters, including CNN, Wikipedia, and Google. These organizations smear Musk as an antisemetist, because Musk supports free speech. Musk the mainstream media's primary enemy, but he's their main competition. News corporations like MSNBC, Fox, and CNN are dying businesses, and this is their last breath at an attack against Musk. These are zombie companies, and they'll die soon enough.

The media war going on between Twitter/X and the mainstream media has been going on since Musk bought Twitter. The media wants to be the arbiter of truth. Twitter/X is allowing free speech, and is disrupting the media's desire to be the arbiter of truth. Billionaires who want absolute control, like George Soros--who funds Media Matters and has for almost two decades, purposely attacks Twitter/X in order to try to destroy it and become the arbiter of truth, since Twitter is the only part of big tech that allows free speech today.

As Media Matters is aggressively trying to slander Musk as an "antisemite," Israel is aggresively advertising its war against Hamas on the "X" Platform, showing that Musk is clearly not an antisemite, or the #ing nation of Israel would not be doing business with him.

What are Media Matters scientific accomplishments? What have they done to combat climate change? Elon Musk built a trillion dollar company aiming to solve climate change, and is the most successful person on Earth in that regard. Then Media Matters smears him and calls him and anti-semite? Clearly they hate humanity - they're a Soros funded organization; and Elon Musk has said that Soros hates humanity. I don't disagree with him, considering George Soros' past.

Media Matters slanders Elon Musk an antisemite - even though he's not - but will not chastise Disney for hating Jews. Walt #ing disney was an actual anti-semite - but since they're a 'woke' corporation now, they don't dare to criticize Disney. I wonder how much Bob Iger gives to Media Matters per year...

The fact is, Media Matters was never founded on the goal of fighting racism or antisemitism. Their goal has always been to suppress "unapproved" voices in the public space. Their mission statement literally says their goal is to suppress conservative voices, but these days it's to suppress anyone disagreeing with the status quo.

Media Matters has launched a propaganda campaign against Joe Rogan - The reality is that Media Matters is spreading “climate misinformation," omitting key scientific data, manipulating context, & purposely push a false narrative for political purposes. This is what they've done for the past two decades - their entire existence.

At the end of the day, Media Matters is a propaganda weapon the radical left uses to spread lies and blackmail any businesses who aren't far left and woke to keep them quiet. Since it's funded by Soros and other far left terrorists who hate freedom, hate free speech, and hate America; it will continue to do this as it has for the past two decades, until it is sued into bankruptcy.

The fact that Soros buys off DAs in cities in the United States, and tells them not to enforce crimes, are proof that Soros is contributing to the downfall of western civilization. And that's what he's been aiming for.

This is more cancel culture and cultural marxism from woke corporations and control freaks like Biden and Soros. They can't stand the fact that they don't control Twitter anymore, and Twitter is now committed to free speech under Musk. During the Twitter Files, Biden and his FBI had all sorts of "relationships" with Twitter, and were pushing disinformation and holding the first amendment in contempt. These authoritarians want to be the arbiter of truth, and since they can't control Twitter, it creates a huge hole in their plan.

The whole reason for Media Matters to exist is to attack anyone questioning the status quo. Whether it be thinking about possible ancient civilizations, the Biden Presidency is lying about statistics and is the worst administration since Jimmy Carter, or free speech being sacrosanct on Twitter, their goal is to character assassinate any person or company who gets out of line, just like Wikipedia does.

Media Matters, since its existence, has specialized in taking things out of context, distorting what people said, and character assassinations.

Media Matters is majority funded by George Soros, who wants control of the internet and wants to get rid of net neutrality and anonymity on the internet.

What is a Free Market Economy?

In a Free Market Economy, the production of goods and services is determined by consumer demand rather than controlled by a central government.

Since supply and demand in the market set the prices in a free market, the allocation of resources, the production levels, and the distribution of wealth flows toward the businesses that contribute superior value to consumers (and to society as a whole).

In the same way free speech works, free market economy also works the same way. You can't force people where to put their money -- it is their money.

Supply and demand. The distribution of wealth flows toward businesses that contribute superior value to the consumers, and to the society. If the society wants to put money into something, they can. If people, in their private businesses, want to invest their money into whatever, they can.

The government can't tell people to invest in Twitter, or not to invest. And nobody is doing that.

All that is happening is private companies making decisions as to where to keep their own money. If they want to keep it in a bank, they can. If they want to put it in Twitter advertising, they can. If they want to burn it, or give it away -- it's theirs to do so.

I fully agree with free market economy and no government involvement. Let the people decide.

“X’s complaint claims that Media Matters manipulated algorithms on the platform to create images of advertisers’ paid posts next to racist, incendiary content. The juxtapositions, according to the complaint, were “manufactured, inorganic and extraordinarily rare.”

“ It says Media Matters did this by using X accounts that just followed X users known to produce “extreme fringe content” and accounts owned by X’s major advertisers. This, the complaint says, led to a feed aimed at producing side-by-side placements that Media Matters could then screen shot in an effort to alienate X’s advertisers.”

“IBM, NBCUniversal and its parent company Comcast said last week that they stopped advertising on X after the Media Matters report said their ads were appearing alongside material praising Nazis.”

Market manipulation is a big no no.
If X can prove it, it’ll be a glorious smack down of those Marxists at media matters.

What are you on about?

Did these companies just decide to pull their ads on a whim? Or did MM's bullsnip hit job influence their decisions? If the latter, your " FreE mARkeT" argument is pointless.

I hope Elon wins and it destroys media matters. All the lies and deceit done by Soros and his evil army of helpers would turn a maggot's stomach.

I find it funny that IBM and CokaCola amongst others are upset over the placement of adds. They both were active businesses in Nazi Germany, even to IBM doing some business with the Nazi party.

Volkswagon, BMW, Mitsubishi, all have histories of working for the enemy at war times. Fanta was invented in Nazi Germany because CokeaCola could not inport cola flavoring to Germany at the time.

Mitsubishi had a three diamond celebration years ago, celebrating their logo. They did not mention that is a representation of a propeller. They built the Japanese Zero.

Like many companies, their history is often not mentioned just hoping it will be ignored.

This is a blatant lie and not a single person that has read you cheering for authoritarian policy believes it. You're no more free market than the entrenched corporate stooge neocons. You all just disagree on who gets to do what and who benefits financially. You also clearly support massive subsidies for politically popular corporate ventures because the entire Democrat party has been pouring billions into junk green energy failures for years.

Shall you go review your posts defending the widespread and illegal interference by government in censorship of protected speech on corporate platforms or will one of us have to? Do we need to show where this was a government/NGO/pharma cooperative doing it or are you able to admit that? That is clear market interference when advertising revenue is based on consumer demand. You're fine with all the targeting of X because X doesn't censor based on your personal political dogma anymore. You also know that the Democrat party wants ESG scores, which is textbook market interference attaching empty ideological standards to corporate "value". This nonsense with fake advertising hysteria, allegedly about disinformation and hate speech, is pushed by extremist political orgs and is just the privately financed part of this dystopian plan to control what can and can't be said.

I'm so tired of radical political propagandists pretending all the dumb authoritarian crap they support one day isn't relevant to discussions on the next. I understand that supporting your greedy lying political heroes requires you adopt the memory of a goldfish and immunity to feeling shame, but those of us that don't live with our heads in our rectums remember things from yesterday and last week and last year.

Virtually every post you make can be refuted with your own prior comments.

Do you really believe people don't see this hypocrisy or does it meet your objective to just derail serious discussion with asinine fluff? Let's not ignore that you have stated in another thread you have an objective here. It's one that has nothing to do with honest engagement in discussion, but rather is promoting a specific political agenda to people you consider too dumb to make their own decisions on what information they consume.

Let me guess... this isn't true? You haven't posted totally contradictory statements, often while employing willful ignorance of full context, when it served to advance the objectives of your political cult?

This is very much on topic as it is clear your definition of free markets without interference differs from mine... mine doesn't change from day to day depending on who it benefits. Can you clarify for us?

You're also lying about how every company can do whatever it wants. That's only partially true and only for now. The morons you support have been planning their politically motivated ESG nonsense to interfere in markets for a while now, including penalizing companies for doing business with those that don't support globalist corporatocracy via their liberal (in name only) proxy parties. Nobody can just do what they want with money. The government can literally shut your bank account down for criticizing them. They forced thousands of small businesses to close, most of which never reopened, by shutting them down over a grossly exaggerated respiratory virus with no evidence it has any benefit. That you are talking like we live in a free and open society is a sad joke to anybody that didn't drink the Kool-aid served by your political hack experts over the past four years.

The number of delusions one must operate under to believe the nonsense you post in the full context of all your other posts is truly breathtaking.

Interestingly enough their is a case right now being reviewed where there is a high-ranking woman who works for the Biden Administration being put on blast and having no knowledge of government and tech collusion to suppress free speech online.

Interesting and stuff.

Plausible deniability and all.

Economy and the ability to express oneself are distinctly different animals. I’d ask why you don’t see this.

But we all know.
