RADAR ALERT: "Media Matters" Before and After

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 2007-11-28 02:03

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:

  • Tuesday, November 20 - Media Matters posts article saying the claim that "women are equal-opportunity domestic abusers" is false.
  • Tuesday through Friday - Media Matters editors post 32 of the 63 comments submitted.
  • Sometime Friday or Saturday - Media Matters disables posting of any further comments on this article.
  • Late Sunday night - RADAR issues an alert, notifying the public that Media Matters is not allowing factual comments that disagree with them.
  • Sometime Monday - After RADAR's alert is distributed, Media Matters' editors post an additional 31 comments critical of their position, 29 of which had been submitted the previous Wednesday, 1 submitted Thursday, and 1 submitted Friday.

A number of people who received our alert have asked who Media Matters is. The best information we've been able to find is here.

Go here on RADAR's site to read the comments that appeared on the Media Matters article as of late Monday night, November 26. The 31 comments that the Media Matters' editors didn't allow through until after RADAR's alert are shown on a pink background.

Comments

Well, the best comment there hasn't been deleted anyways:

What happen Mark, some little woman beat you up? I got some bad news for you, a woman doesn't need a taser to hurt a man. A hot pan of grits, oatmeal, boiling sugar water will do the trick, cheaper too.

Of course this list of wives' weaponry can be extended almost to infinity.

Knives and shotguns work wonders on a sleeping male, too.

The defeat of the feminazi posters is so complete on the Media Matters article -- within the comments section -- concerning "Rudov's statements", that the femipigs have blocked any new comments and archived the section.

Women censor facts when women are made to look like fools. Lying women -- and their male lapdogs -- lose again.
