Mediaite stupidly equivocates Media Matters' research with campaign activity

You've probably seen this rambling piece of garbage shared by your right wing friends. This article argues that Media Matters shouldn't be a 501(c)(3), all because of one recent David Brock article stating the organization has a "role in specifically defending Hillary Clinton from the Republicans' unfair attacks on the subject," which the Mediate author equivocated with "campaign activity for or against political candidates" prohibited for 501(c)(3) organizations.

I love how Media Matters strikes fear in right wing misinformers.
