Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit on Monday against Media Matters for America for refusal to cooperate with a Missouri State investigation.
This comes after AG Andrew Bailey sued Media Matters in December for violating state consumer protection laws and defrauding Missourians.
AG Andrew Bailey accused Media Matters of using fraud to solicit donations from Missourians in order to bully advertisers.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey made this explosive accusation, “We have reason to believe Media Matters used fraud to solicit donations from Missourians in order to bully advertisers into pulling out of X, the last platform dedicated to free speech in America.”
The Missouri Attorney General did not hold back in his attacks on Media Matters alleging the enemies of free speech, like Media Matters for America, are attempting to kill Twitter-X because they cannot control it now that Elon Musk took over. Bailey added, “I’m fighting to ensure progressive tyrants masquerading as news outlets cannot manipulate the marketplace in order to wipe out free speech.”
let the courtroom slugfest begin.
lm putting $100 on the good guys.

Media Matters has always read like a publication of the Democratic National Committee.
Well at least SOMEONE on the so-called conservative side of American politics is fighting Lawfare with Lawfare. Nobody ever won a battle by carrying a shield only (well except for Russel Crowe in the film Gladiator) … no … it takes a sword … or better yet, a gun like how Indiana Jones dispatched the Muslim swordsman.
In the game of mutually assured destruction, you can’t be a pussy.

Wait. But Michelle said; “when they go low, we go high”? Ohhhh … she meant they aim their guns at our heads … while we just try to immobilize them …
Jeez, one AG fighting out of how many gop AG’s? If they truly understood the current war and its consequences, they’d all have convened grand juries and issued indictments against Biden, his cronies, and opened investigations into leftists attacking schools and electoral systems. In short, use the state legal power to bully and destroy the left. They’ve been likewise without compunction for a while now.
I’m fine with a zero sum approach to this war, which it very much is. Perhaps fighting back in equal measure will be enough to convince the communists to back off.
We’re the ones who want to uphold individual rights and the constitution. We’ll return to them once the lawless and freedom hating radicals are put in their place.
It’s a 501(c)(3) organization, allegedly, that got at least $1.1 million in government grants according to their 2021 filing, while engaging in what appears to be partisan activities.
And for some reason the IRS is incurious about it.
The better question is why the AG isn’t also going after the Bonner Group, Inc, which seems to be the company hired to fundraise for MMFA
Media Matters showed the Show Me state that they’re corrupt.
Good plan, assholes.
