It’s apparently part of the Media Research Center’s business arrangement with Mark Levin that it defends him against anyone and everyone who voices any criticism of him, no matter how benign.
That would appear to explain this Jan. 18 NewsBusters post by Mark Finkelstein:
Mark Levin is American media’s most knowledgeable, passionate proponent of constitutional conservatism. No wonder Chris Matthews hates him.
On his MSNBC show this evening, Matthews slurred Levin as “one of the most distasteful human beings out there.” Matthews’ attack came in the context of commenting on the defense that Levin and Rush Limbaugh have mounted against Donald Trump’s claim that Ted Cruz is “nasty.”
That, presumably, was immediately forwarded to Levin by the folks at the MRC. So we get a follow-up post by Tim Graham — it apparently required a top MRC official to do this — detailing Levin’s (lengthy) response to Matthews, which includes the witty repostes “I find him to be a puke” and “This guy’s a nobody. He’s stuck on MSLSD his entire career.”
So it seems “American media’s most knowledgeable, passionate proponent of constitutional conservatism” has a bit of trouble handling criticism. Not that it’s an obstacle to the the MRC’s contractual love affair with him, of course.
