Daily Caller reports:Media Matters for America founder David Brock refused to answer a question Tuesday morning regarding his group’s relationship with the Obama White House.

Video of the exchange was posted by Kerry Picket of The Washington Times. In the clip, an unidentified male with the “America’s Morning News” radio show asked Brock, “How accurate are reports that Media Matters and the White House coordinated efforts to investigate Fox News employees?”

    MM doesn't want to lose their tax exempt status. It's disgusting that a politically partisan bunch of sh**-heads like Media Matters manages to stay tax exempt. It breaks the rules of what tax exempt orgs are supposed to do, and NOT DO.

    why won't the airheads as the "Big 3" (BAC, NBC, CBS) ever consider for a nanosecond that MediaMatters is a tool of the Obama camp? ... it's like this -

    elephant in the room

    to admit collusion would be to admit their own intentional ignorance!

    Too bad obama's actions don't coincide with his love for 'chicago' and spend some time there... Like forever...

    Too bad Michelle doesn't spend a vacation in Chicago cleaning up the kitchen... cooking for her kids ... letting her children see their old rooms... lol

    What others see plainly, we often are blind to or just ignore.

    When I was about 9 years old, I remember asking my dad about Castro. I asked, "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"

    Dad said...he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana at the time. Dad was in the Army and stationed there.

    Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.

    This past July 4th, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner conversation was starkly different from most.

    This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960's. His family was more fortunate than most, as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.

    Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, fresh ears of sweet corn and watermelon. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide...while celebrating the birth of our beloved America ...on the Fourth of July.

    We began with a simple discussion about our country, and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington .

    We began with a simple discussion about our country, and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington .

    But then he said it. The sentence flowed naturally from our refugee guest. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train. "You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist."

    We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution, he didn't sound like a radical."

    The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, "You mean just like Barack Obama?"

    He responded; "Yes, just like Barack Obama." He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied."

    I also remember my uncle saying; “ Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries. He will never come and take our family hardware store!!” But that is exactly what happened. Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that four-bedroom home you own...it is now our property, too. You have to move yourself and the five children into those two rooms of the house, because others are moving in here
    with you."

    The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and, once in office, they can take totally unexpected turns.

    If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors or Chrysler would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society...would be evaporating, just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960's.

    But the news of injustice keeps increasing; Black Panthers are not charged with wrong doing by the U.S. Department of Justice, because their crimes are against whites; the bond holders of GM are stripped of their assets, without being given due process by the government; car dealerships are closed without due process; governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight, only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled ... by the Attorney General; the U.S. borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity, and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers, while the innocent are killed and overrun; when local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed, and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law .

    Without the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution is a sham!! Without the rule of law, our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well-connected and politically powerful will be safe. As an author recently and so eloquently explained in her most recent book... "a culture of corruption has replaced honest government" (Michelle Malkin) .

    The only way this problem will be fixed is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally must come together and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law end now!! And yes, it can happen if we all pull together.

    PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!! And...may God save the United States of America ! *

    *...the very least you can do is forward this email. Six million plus Jews didn't believe it could happen in Germany either!!! If you're a Christian in these United States of America , you're probably next on the list. History bears that out. The real problem here is, the boy from Cuba did manage to make it to the U.S. Today he and we will not have any place to escape to...except death! And, for the most part...even though I'm forwarding this to you, probably less then 10 will even read it completely, let alone forward on to others. AS A COUNTRY, HAVE WE BECOME THIS COMPLACENT? WILL YOU JUST TURN YOUR BACK AND LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES? I HOPE NOT... YOU KNOW I DIDN'T, BECAUSE YOU'RE READING THIS, AND NOW I HOPE AND PRAY YOU DO FORWARD IT.

    Maybe because "ambush journalism" should never be accepted by any 'subject'. Maybe because Fox News and their ilk gave up ANY credibility or right to expect this should work anytime, since they do it all the time and try to pretend it means something. Or maybe it means something else, including the evil things you people imagine.

    Note that the questioner could just as well have asked, "Sir, is there any truth to the idea that Media Matters is staffed by turquoise Space Aliens from another galaxy?" and you'd have just as much evidence for Space Aliens now as you now have for collusion.

    Maybe you should become less biased, YOURSELF (I KNOW, that's a really strange idea--so DEAL with it!), and not assume that opposition to your insanity amounts to assuming Fox News did it. Show me WHERE I made the assumption you claim I made, when I EXPLICITLY did NOT! OK? Are you capable of a simple analysis like that? It does not look like it, frankly. Maybe you should look up what "ilk" means.
