MEDIA WATCH

MEDIAMATTERS.ORG

Former right-wing attack journalist David Brock blasted the
conservative movement in his 2002 confessional, Blinded by the
Right. Now he has launched Media Matters, a "Web-based,
not-for-profit progressive research and information center
dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting
conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." The New York Times
reports that Brock has raised $2 million dollars in an attempt to
become a liberal equivalent of Brent Bozell's right wing Media
Research Center and that Brock is working out of the office of
former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. Brock also has a new
book coming out this month, titled Republican Noise Machine:
Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy.
