The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing For A Website Aimed At Complete Idiots

Media Matters, which obviously believes the rules of journalism apply only to lesser mortals than they. Otherwise they would have to worry quoting sources and references and stuff like that. But as you will see, no such rules apply to the mighty pens of Media Matters.

One of the worst parts of our job is having to pore over loads of leftist crappola journalism every single damn day in order to bring you more reasons to hate the media.

A good case in point is Media Matters, which obviously believes the rules of journalism apply only to lesser mortals than they. Otherwise they would have to worry quoting sources and references and stuff like that. But as you will see, no such rules apply to the mighty pens of Media Matters.

As proof, consider the following story from that paragon of leftist journalism, MediaMatters.org:

Bipartisan agreement: Fox-hyped New Black Panthers case is a phony scandal

Numerous media and political figures, including Fox News contributors and Republicans, have dismissed the Fox-hyped phony scandal surrounding the New Black Panthers Party, with the Republican vice chairwoman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission even criticizing conservatives on the commission for trying to use the case “to topple the [Obama] administration.” Despite this, Fox News has hyped the manufactured scandal more than 100 times since June 30.”

That’s it, the whole story, as it ran at Media Matters, which is apparently far too busy trashing conservatives in general and Fox News in particular to worry about trivial things like naming sources or referencing quotes.

unnamed-source
We're pretty sure this image has nothing to do with this story, but when we did a Google image search for "unnamed source", it came up. So what the hell.

With that in mind, we thought it might be fun to do our own story following the rules of the Media Matters School of Journalism:

Bipartisan agreement: President Obama is not doing a good job

Several Democrats and Republicans have agreed that President Obama’s administration is doing a really crappy job. This fact has been continuously supported by many polls that say pretty much the same thing. A couple of unnamed Democrats have actually gone so far as to accuse the White House of advancing a socialist agenda. Despite this, President Obama refuses to resign.

The line immediately below this one is a newfangled journalistic thingamabob called “a source.” You should give it a try sometime, Media Matters.
