Media Matters Works to End Lou Dobbs' 'Birther' Talk
Media Matters, a non-profit organization that, according to their website, is 'dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the US Media' has made many recent efforts to bring attention to the ridiculous 'birther' racket that CNN's Lou Dobbs has been obsessing over. Today, they are releasing a commercial on Fox News, MSNBC, and Dobbs' own network, CNN, to 'pressure and show CNN that mainstreaming racially charged fringe conspiracy theories is not acceptable' as Eric Burns. Media Matters' President explained. The commercial will begin running today, starting with an airing on Dobbs' own show, and will continue until funding for its airing runs out. Please check out the ad below and donate to extend it's run here at the Media Matter's site. Keep the pressure on CNN and spread the word!!!
