Media Size Matters
Although the leftist, excuse me, the progressive organization Media Matters, individually isn't hugely influential, in conjunction with its sister leftists, including the Center for American Progress, it matters.
With its principal supporter, George Soros, this mass of left wing media is imposing and matters.
Just as words are a medium of expression and with the continuing decline in the influence of print and broadcast media, the internet is becoming the most powerful medium in America and Soros, one of the richest and most powerful individuals in the land, is tirelessly attempting to re-shape our nation in his image.
That image isn't very pleasant except to the ideologues on the extreme-left fringes of our society.
One group trying to fight back against the Sorosites is MassResistance.com, members of which don't just do their fighting with a keyboard and a modem. They take to the same streets and courthouses and town halls used by "progressives" to give us changes many of us find impossible to believe in.
At the forefront of those changes is the homosexual movement and MassResistance is currently battling against one gay standard bearer, "safe schools czar," Kevin Jennings, who Obama refuses to dump despite his less than exemplary baggage.
After MassResistance dug into Jenning's seedy past and revealed him for what he is-a lying gay committed to "homosexualizing" America's schools and culture-the mainstream media finally picked up the story.
Then Media Matters went on a vitriolic warpath not against the MSM but against the source of the truth about Jennings in order to discredit MassResistance.
It's called the kill the messenger technique designed to squelch the message.
MassResistance is fighting back:
"In two recent postings, they've [Media Matters] put together a big collection of lies, distortions, misinformation and propaganda to try to discredit MassResistance and our facts about Kevin Jennings-and the horrible things his group GLSEN has done with children.
"Posts from Media Matters attacking MassResistance:
Dec. 10, 2009: Anti-gay "hate group" MassResistance is source for right-wing media attacks on Jennings

Judge for yourself which side is more believable by comparing previous articles on this website and those snippets and a Bill O'Reilly video available on the above link.
Soros has also been the subject of various pieces here dealing with his background and anti-American activities. See "Just Who the Hell Is George Soros?" (http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=981)
A primary enterp;rise has been using his enormous wealth to establish and subsidize left wing agitation groups, including MoveOn.org and the aformentioned Media Matters and the Center of American Progress.
With Soros and other lefty zealots funding those groups, and emboldened by having one of their own in the White House, it's no wonder the size of the radical media is growing exponentially and is steadily achieving a top goal, convincing Americans that gays are normal.
In a typical example of in-your-face Chicago politics, even as the Jennings brouhaha swirled about him, Obama on Monday nominated proud transgenderite Amanda Simpson as senior technical advisor to the Commerce Department: http://bit.ly/7i3GmW
You can't beat these guys for chutzpa but at least MassResistance is trying.
