Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.Posted by Kate at September 18, 2012 6:15 PMDozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request.
I hope decent Americans work to have their tax free status revoked, it's clear they are a liberal lobby group.
Posted by: Rose at September 18, 2012 6:28 PMI thought Holder was impeached? Ahh, executive privilege...forgot. The Obama administration is criminal. If Bush had ever contacted a conservative 'think tank', and I use that word loosely considering I'm talking about that virus media matters, he's be excoriated in the press. I'm sure katie Couric would have an expose on the violation of trust. Yet, Bam-Bam runs along....sad really. I hope the voters are smarter than this garbage.
Posted by: David at September 18, 2012 6:28 PMNot surprising given what can happen when you post anti-mohamed videos on youtube.
Posted by: james at September 18, 2012 6:44 PMScarcely surprising, given that both media Matters and the Obama administration are in the pocket of George Soros.
Posted by: gordinkneehill at September 18, 2012 7:00 PMThe corrupt media is on trial here and they know it. They are ``all in ``on Obama.THEY will be destroyed by this election when he comes up an ace short. Journalism classes will be taught on this self-inflicted disaster. Prescient PHD candidates are prepping their theses now.
This ain`t the ``new Coke `` mistake.
Posted by: Gordon Campbell at September 18, 2012 7:45 PMHolder was cited for contempt and ordered by the court to hand over the documents. Than Obama moved in and cited 'executive privilege' to retain the documents. Then the House filed a civil case against Holder for contempt and it's, to my knowledge before the courts.
Obama is a Teflon Man; nothing sticks to him; he just smiles and waves and says whatever comes into his empty chair 'mind'. And the American people let him get away with it.

Now i am truley shocked and that will make the harper govornment look bad. even though i know they were looking at this before it was announced publicly!!
Posted by: paul in calgary at September 18, 2012 8:05 PMUnfortunately, Gov. Romney would never think (nor would his advisors ever allow him to think) to run against the Media Party. Too often he looks like Charlie Brown naively believing that the Katie Courics and Soledad O'Briens will actually let him kick the football.
Posted by: Roseberry at September 18, 2012 8:14 PMPresidential pardon if Obama loses, millionaire fascist if Obama wins...
well, millionaire either way probably...
Posted by: Philanthropist at September 18, 2012 8:25 PMThat's why the media party is trying to label Romney "out of touch. They're desperate to preserve their narrative.
He needs to call the media party "out of touch" like 1950's out of touch, if you look at their own bottom line.
Mitt needs to renounce the media party/ progressive narrative now, when they call him mentioning the 47% that pay no taxes, a "gaff" he's got them standing in the open with their pants down.
It's not a gaff, it's the truth no longer spoken by the out of touch and gutshot MSM.
Blow them up Mitt and win.
This is reminiscent of when the Liberal party was unravelling under Mr. Martin's watch; New scandals almost weekly, the media jilting their lover, the sound of knives being sharpened...
Posted by: otterdriver at September 18, 2012 8:37 PMPanic among the DemocRats as their great ship of state goes up on the rocks.
Listen to the squeaking.
Posted by: The Phantom at September 18, 2012 8:46 PMThis will be the headline news at CNN, MSNBC, and CBC..right???
otterdriver...until that happens I hear crickets, not knives sharpening.
Posted by: bluetech at September 18, 2012 9:02 PMSo the Liberals demand MP pension reform a couple days after the Conservative caucus already agreed to it. Idiots.
Posted by: Scar at September 18, 2012 10:27 PMDid not, your agent write that there is "narrative central"?
There you have it.
You're welcome.
Posted by: Lev at September 18, 2012 11:56 PMWho will be hurt more by this: Holder or Obama?
Obama- "The Teflon Don"- will do his utmost to make sure that bus really runs Holder over.
Posted by: Osumashi Kinyobe at September 19, 2012 12:48 AMCollusion between the left and the media?
nah... impossible!
Posted by: Canadian Friend at September 19, 2012 12:55 AMSomeone discovered cut and paste I see.
On another note; Bluetech, I stand corrected. It is crickets...the knives will be along shortly.
