David Brock Napoleon (before they took him
away)
"They're coming to take me away."
Media Matters founder David Brock is learning the hard way that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Brock lives in a glass house, yet makes his living throwing stones. Recently, he has been going after Fox News-literally trying to destroy the only conservative news network we have. Now he learns that payback is...well, you know. Read the below Fox News story on Brock's troubles.

Brock began his career as a conservative-or at least he pretended to be one. He did a hit piece on Hillary Clinton. Then, inexplicably, Brock woke up one day as he drifted into middle age and decided he would be a liberal hit man. His creation, Media Matters, is actually a 501c3. That is supposed to be non-partisan, but MM is anything but non-partisan. They meet at the White House with Obama's team and plan their strategy to discredit the Republicans. And Fox News. MM is a prime source of information for NBC News and their mad-hatter section MSNBC. The latest disclosures indicate that they even try to shadow Fox employees to get dirt on them. This all raises the question of how Media Matters can maintain their tax status.
By many accounts, Brock is cracking under the pressure. He sees enemies everywhere and screams at people who work with him. He has armed guards even though he pushes for gun control, so others won't have the same protections he has. Reportedly, he thinks his life is in danger (maybe from the Tea Party).
At any rate, I thought I would dust off this oldie that might cheer David up.
Brock is a hit man. He doesn't seem to care who he hits for, and indeed, he is capable of doing as much damage to his latest host as to his current target.
ReplyDeleteA while back, I actually read Brock's 1996 book "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham". I still have it, and I believe I will read it again, just for fun. Looks like he may have experienced an epiphany or something like that, and he should not necessarily be called paranoid, even though everyone is after him.
