The Huffington Post and other outlets are piling on progressive propagandists Media Matters for America, a 501(c)(3) entity.
Media Matters for America, a group that monitors the country’s conservative media for distortions and inaccuracies, fell in for criticism today over the Justice Department’s secret subpoena of the Associated Press’s phone records.

Evidence of this Media Matters-Obama administration mindmeld? This piece here, which says, among other things: “If the press compromised active counter-terror operations for a story that only tipped off the terrorists, that sounds like it should be investigated.” The document is essentially a set of talking points for people who wish to defend the Obama administration over secretly subpoenaing 20 phone lines of a wire service as part of a leak investigation.
So, Media Matters for America, what do you have to say about this?
It’s already known that the DOJ colludes with MMfA to spin talking points:
Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.
Dozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The DOJ has also referred reporters to MMfA when asked tough questions.
