    Media Matters for America is a
    Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation
    in the U.S. media.

    I bet you dollar to donut Sam, that it took the IRS less than 30 secs to approve their 501(c)(3) application.

    100 different accounts? I'd never be able to keep up that many personas at once.

    Sure you could, they would all use the same BS talking points, not really different "personas," just different login names.

    ok guys I have to confess. This has been weighing on my chest for some time now, and I simply cannot go on in secrecy any longer.

    I am SamFisher and this is my second account. We are both paid by the Koch brothers' family trust -- me to provide a conservative view to a den of flaming liberals, and Sam to deliberately post left wing fringe posts that cause people to turn away from the democratic party due to the absurdity of his content and lack of touch with reality.

    Being a Republican troll has to be one of the easiest jobs on the planet. All you have to do is employ these five easy steps and you'll have the liberals angrily ripping their "Hope and Change" posters to shreds in no time:

    1. Make sure that anytime you say "Obama" in a sentence that the word "failure" or "incompetent" accompanies his name in that sentence. You don't want the liberals to think that you are going soft, or worse, that you are one of THEM.

    2. Get angry. You want the liberals to know every time that you post that Obama is kicking you in the nuts and robbing you blind of your hard-earned money at the same time, and you aren't going to ****ing take it anymore. Also, remind them of your degree from your esteemed university, but don't use proper grammar, that just comes off as "elitist."

    3. Use subtle racism. You don't want to be an outright racist, instead, just let the libs know that you don't appreciate the fact that the only black people not on welfare are athletes, rappers and half of Obama.

    4. Don't post facts. You don't want to stoop to the libs' level.

    5. Most importantly, have fun! You're here to troll, not have a serious discussion about politics. Who wants to do that? :eek:

    CNN gets paid by foreign governments not to broadcast news they don't like.

    It's the MSM

    Does this have anything to do with this thread? I see that it references the non-news non-scandal of the phony IRS outrage. But aside from that is there any relevance to this post?

    And given the actual facts it goes against what really happened. No conservative groups were denied, yet some progressive groups were denied.
