#2 Brock also confirmed earlier reports that he plan to shift the focus of Media Matters for America away from Fox News and more towards attacking the alt-right

Ratings are too high at Fox. Better to attack the individual freedoms of the 'deplorables.'

#3 ...It never works, David. Ask the folks who started Air America or Algore's venture.

#4 They would have to be factual. They would have to be for sensible economics. They would have to be for reality (individual justice) instead of the sick autocratic collectivist absurdity of "social justice"

So it won't work.

#5 They really should be encouraged. Keeps them out of other mischief.

#6 A true leftist who starts a business based on his own demand and not driven by the demands of the market will inevitably fail. Unless like NPR and PBS you are subsidized by funds not tied to profits.

As one member of the tribe put it, left-wing advocacy is a racket, used by members and non-members alike to extract money from wealthy members of the tribe:

American Jews have a lot of money, which in theory, can be extracted from them with words. Now they =do= divide into two camps…… we can summarize the constellation of manifestations of which, as: Hillary supporters, and Trump supporters.

The ones who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN are in the latter camp. The big problem with those folks is….. in practice, you cannot get them to write you a check by scaring them them with cootie-encrusted boogymen. They’re too busy saving (say for example) Constitutional Carry in the USA – any resources left over, are spent on saving (say for example) IDF Lone Soldiers

So if you were an enterprising Pro Jew, you’d probably focus on the Hillary supporters – ie, the ones who WATCH things happen and kvetch about it. They will buy tickets to your lectures at the 92nd Street Y, they will send checks to your SPLC. Get yourself a degree in Sociology; you can harvest a few bucks off of them.


The point isn't to set up a new website - it's to milk wealthy left-wing Jews so David Brock can add to the perks he currently enjoys as a key player in Media Matters. Does he worry he'll merely cannibalize HuffPo's traffic? Why would he care? HuffPo doesn't pay him.
