'''Media Matters for America''' is an ultra-liberal organization with members in major media outlets which aims to highlight what it considers conservative misinformation in mass media organizations. Primarily, they target prominent conservative public figures, although Democrats and nonpersonalities are frequently criticized as well. They were instrumental in lobbying for the firing of [[Don Imus]], whom they considered a moderate who endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004.<ref>http://hotair.com/archives/2007/04/17/video-tammy-bruce-exposes-far-left-outlets-hit-list-on-everyone-to-their-right/</ref>

Media Matters since 2004 has monitored conservative media and attacked high-profile conservatives with provocative language and out-of-context [[quote mining]] Brock is a former attack dog who posed as a conservative and now claims he made up stories about such people as Anita Hill, who charged Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with sexual harassment during Thomas’s confirmation hearings. <ref>[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20711 Media Matters: Defaming Journalists, Getting Sued], by Catherine Moy, ''Human Events, 05/15/2007. </ref>
Brock outlined his lies and conversion to liberalism in his 2002 book, ''Blinded By The Right.'' He launched Media Matters in 2004 after conferring with [[Hillary Clinton]].
