Sez Who?

It's oft amazing to read some attack by the Left of the Right and realize that with very little editing, it can become an incisive critique of the Left.

Politico reports Media Matters (a "Democrat-leaning organization?") is distributing a Memo in which it slams Fox News as a "lethal 24/7 partisan political operation." Let's take just one paragraph of this Memo, swap Media Matters and Fox News, Conservative and Progressive, and see what we get. Changes are in all caps:

As our evidence demonstrates, MEDIA MATTERS has exhibited a consistent willingness to ignore any and all journalistic standards to pursue political ends. The failure to recognize MEDIA MATTERS for what it is enables IT to continue waging a massive PROGRESSIVE political campaign disguised as journalism.

I guess with the Left, it takes one partisan political operation to know one. Except in this case, the charge against Fox News is pure hackery disguised as journalism.
