They are a leading and effective voice in combating misinformation. This latest book, by founder David Brock, makes clear the threat that incendiary journalism poses to our democracy. -Nancy Pelosi This pointed study of modern politics is both a must-read and a cautionary tale. -Senator John F. Kerry Think of any conservative-media scandal of the past few years. . . and it's a good bet that a Media Matters researcher flagged the offending clip, uploaded it to the group's website, and got the party started. -New York Magazine Fox News has created a generation of woefully (and objectively) misinformed ideological sycophants to pursue its radical agenda. It's no accident. Now David Brock and Ari Rabin-Havt show that no matter how unethical and dishonest you think Fox News is, the reality is that they're much, much worse. -Markos Moulitsas, publisher, Daily Kos
