David Neiwert at Crooks and Liars finds a bit of hypocrisy from the Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell. He commiserated with Sean Hannity on his Fox News show about how liberals allegedly agitating for violence, telling Hannity, “Would you last — if you had that kind of a guest on, that your show wouldn’t be over before Roger Ailes fired you?” Turns out Hannity has made not-so-veiled references to armed revolution as a response to Obama’s election.
On a related subject, Media Matters’ Karl Frisch notes how conservatives like to complain that the right doesn’t have a media-criticism operation equivalent to Media Matters — ignoring, inadvertently or otherwise, the existence of the MRC. And for all we know, the ignorance may be deliberate, given the general crappiness of the MRC’s research and the rampant goofiness and illogic at its NewsBusters blog.
(Yes, we work for Media Matters.)
