<![CDATA[Media Matters is garbage]]>A certain liberal member worships Media Matters, blindly believing everything they say.

Well, Elon Musk has filed a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against them.

Texas AG Ken Paxton is investigating them for fraudulent acts as a nonprofit.

But I see articles about, Media Matters in crisis.

https://ijr.com/legal-fees-hit-publication-hard/

you’d assume the Democratic super-lawyer Marc Elias would cut them a break after a decade-plus of cozy collaboration.

Spoiler alert: he didn’t.

Instead, Elias Law Group swooped in, racked up millions in legal fees, and then—brace yourself—demanded $4 million in unpaid bills from Media Matters

Marc Elias isn’t just any lawyer. He’s the architect of the Steele dossier debacle, the man who carried Hillary Clinton’s political baggage like it was a badge of honor, and the brain behind half the lawsuits trying to kneecap voter ID laws.

☝ Musk offered harsh settlement. MM refused, but Musk is happy to continue fight; thinks he has better hand. & MM is under FTC investigation, must fight FTC too, as MM donations fall.

That is Texas.

In Missouri, action against MM is on hold.

Judge's excuse is that for MM to lie & do malicious fraud on consumers, is protected speech enough that no government can prosecute.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-halts-missouri-ag-elon-214743757.html

“Missouri’s interest in enforcing its consumer protection laws must give way when a state actor uses them to retaliate against a media organization for protected speech.”

Uh-huh. MM committed crimes of financial fraud, allegedly, in Missouri - and one judge says they're "protected".

I suspect appeal comes & Missouri will win it.

Elon Twitter is careful to NOT put advertisers next to neo-Nazi posts.

Happens by mistake maybe 1 in a Billion times.

MM did extreme account & data manipulation, not photoshop but they may as well have, to make opposite (false) impression.

What's extra weird: much of MM staff would be pro-Hamas. For them to throw charges of anti-Semitic would be so cynical, words so meaningless to them.
