RADAR ALERT: "Media Matters" Before and After

In RADAR's Monday, November 26th alert we discussed Media Matters for America's article entitled "On Your World, Mark Rudov falsely claimed 'women are equal-opportunity domestic abusers'". We explained that RADAR knew that a number of factual comments on this article had been submitted but not approved for publication by Media Matters' editors.

After RADAR's alert was posted, Media Matters approved an additional 31 comments submitted between last Wednesday and last Friday. All of the previously withheld comments were critical of Media Matters' position. The chronology of events, as best we can reconstruct it is as follows:

India: MRAs fight back

Via Marc A. Article here. Excerpt:

'On August 26 this year, International Women's Equality Day, yet another demonstration was under way at Jantar Mantar, the centre of gravity for social protest in the nation's capital. No one driving by would have spared the protesters a second glance, except that the bunch shouting slogans-- "Hai Hai", "Down Down"-- was an incongruous one: software engineers, corporate managers, officers of the merchant navy and marketing execs. More incredible were the signs they were carrying: 'Stop Legal Terrorism. Stop Husband Suicides', and 'Protect the Elderly from the NCW', NCW being not the National Commission for Women but 'National Criminal Wives'. On Women's Equality Day, the centrestage belonged to one of the most unexpected byproducts of the women's rights movement: a movement for men's rights.'

Usher on "Media Matters"

Essay here. Excerpt:

'Wiehl’s dangerous position explicitly reveals the in-vivo tragedy of VAWA: Where one’s subjective state of “fear” is the legal standard justifying most any action by a woman (as opposed to a “real threat” standard), there is no telling what women will do (and try get away with). Civil Rights advocates need to wake up on this issue: racist white women can throw high-tech war parties too.

The problem with tasers as a “standard female accessory” is the unconstitutionally-low standard for female behavior established by the Violence Against Women Act. In the VAWA environment, use of a taser to prevent a rape is no different than abuse of a taser for an entirely scurrilous reason. VAWA makes it impossible to discern the difference between the two.'

Fathers Rights Activists Grow Stronger - Hold Rally

Fathers Rights Activists Grow Stronger And Hold Rally To Make Family Law Accountable

A reckoning is in order in family courts all across America. F4JLA and NCFMLA are intent on seeing accountability brought back into a legal system influenced heavily by gender feminism and judicial chivalry. Presently, America’s family law system appears to exist to serve primarily the gender feminist agenda, and of course, itself.

The day started out with a bang, when a woman stopped her car at the corner of the intersection, directly behind the blue truck, then briskly approached us exclaiming, "I have seven kids and an ex-husband who hasn't paid child support in five years. What can you do about that?"

RADAR Alert: Tell "Media Matters" the Truth About Domestic Violence

In his latest Fox News debate, VAWA Reform Coalition member, Marc Rudov stated that HHS and CDC statistics show women and men commit domestic violence equally. The website "MediaMatters for America" has responded by calling Marc a liar.

In actual fact, the latest CDC research, indicates that women are as violent, if not more violent than men. In March 2007, the peer-reviewed scientific journal, "American Journal of Public Health" published a report by Centers for Disease Control researchers Whitaker, Haileyesus, Swahn, and Saltzman entitled "Differences in Frequency of Violence and Reported Injury Between Relationships With Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Intimate Partner Violence".

This research analyzed data on 11,370 young heterosexual adults aged 18 to 28. About half of the violent couples reported that both partners were violent to one another (reciprocal violence). Of the violent couples in which only one partner was violent (non-reciprocal violence), the woman was the perpetrator in 70% of the cases.

Gay man fights for parental rights after being deceived by female "friend"

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Topeka man is fighting a legal battle over parental rights, because his babies' mother says he is just the sperm donor.
...
Hendrix is a gay man who didn't think he would ever become a father. Then in 2004, the Topeka resident said a longtime female friend named Samantha Harrington approached him and asked if he would father a baby for her through artificial insemination...

So Hendrix said he agreed to the deal. "I thought everything was perfect and I said, 'Do we need anything in writing?" he said. "She said, 'Daryl, we've been friends for 10 years. I'm an attorney. Kansas is an oral agreement state. There will be no problem.' And I took her word for it."
...
Hendrix said, "When she found out she was pregnant, she called and said, 'Congratulations Daddy."

The twins were born in May 2005 at Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. Hendrix said when he went to the hospital to see the infants, a boy and a girl, he was turned away.

Newlywed arraigned in husband's murder

Story here. Excerpt:

'On his wedding day three months ago, Michael Forbes made a special announcement to his guests: He and his new wife would be moving into a beautiful home in Merrick.

"Everyone thought it was nice, was happy for him," his uncle, Cecil Dudley, said Thursday.

No one realized how horribly wrong things on Frankel Boulevard would turn.

On Wednesday morning, Kelly Forbes grabbed a long, orange, heavy-duty electrical cord, put it around her husband's neck and strangled him, Nassau police said. Forbes, 29, called 911 on a cell phone from the house. When paramedics and police arrived, they found Michael Forbes, 50, on the floor in a room next to the master suite. He was unresponsive and died about an hour later at 10 a.m. at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow.'

I-VAWA supports women's abuse of domestic-violence laws

Article here. Excerpt:

'Radical feminists have devised a scheme to cash in on the flow of taxpayer money in a big way. Their good buddy, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., has just introduced Senate Bill 2279, called the International Violence Against Women Act.

The act earmarks at least 10 percent of its program funds to be granted to a certain type of women's organizations. Biden's press release identifies the favored groups: NOW's Legal Momentum, Family Violence Prevention Fund, Women's Edge Coalition, and Center for Women's Global Leadership.
...
Orders of protection were designed to be a "shield" to protect against domestic violence. This article bluntly describes how a petitioner can use an order of protection as a "sword" to obtain child custody in an expedited manner, to restrict a father's visitation with his children and to gain exclusive use of the home.'

Mother who gave birth after one-night stand wins right to keep baby secret from the father

Story here. Excerpt:

'A woman who became pregnant after a one-night stand yesterday won the right to keep the existence of her baby a secret from its father.

In a landmark decision, three Appeal Court judges agreed that the 20-year-old single mother has "the ultimate veto" over whom should be told about the child, who is being put up for adoption.

Describing the case as "on any view extraordinary", Lord Justice Thorpe ruled there was no justification for "breaking open the mother's secret".

And Lady Justice Arden said this was not a violation of the father's rights to family life under the Human Rights Act because he had no rights to be violated.'
