Media Matters Founder David Brock Vows to Create a ‘Breitbart of the Left’

[MEDIAITE] Clinton ally and liberal Super PAC operator David Brock told news hounds Tuesday that he plans to create a new outlet designed to serve as a counterpoint to alt-right website Breitbart.

What're Huffington Pus and Vox?

A "Breitbart of the Left" -- isn't that like Van Jones forming the "Coffee Party" back in 2009?

Air America 2.0: yet another path by which Mr. Soros donates substantial sums to the national economy without achieving his desired result, while destroying the resumes of all who participate in the endeavour. I think it's a marvelous idea.

Brock purchased liberal website BlueNationReview in 2015, rebranding it in 2016 as "ShareBlue." ShareBlue, he said Tuesday, would be the "Breitbart of the left..." so long as the financial contributions kept pouring.

Brock also confirmed earlier reports that he plan to shift the focus of Media Matters for America away from Fox News and more towards attacking the alt-right

Oooohh yes, do that!

and fake news. "A lot of garbage came spewing out of Facebook, and these companies need to adopt new standards and clean their own house," he told news hounds. "We’ll be involved in a campaign to push them to do that."

Ratings are too high at Fox. Better to attack the individual freedoms of the 'deplorables.'

#3 ...It never works, David. Ask the folks who started Air America or Algore's venture.

#4 They would have to be factual. They would have to be for sensible economics. They would have to be for reality (individual justice) instead of the sick autocratic collectivist absurdity of "social justice"

So it won't work.

They really should be encouraged. Keeps them out of other mischief.

#6 A true leftist who starts a business based on his own demand and not driven by the demands of the market will inevitably fail. Unless like NPR and PBS you are subsidized by funds not tied to profits.

As one member of the tribe put it, left-wing advocacy is a racket, used by members and non-members alike to extract money from wealthy members of the tribe:

American Jews have a lot of money, which in theory, can be extracted from them with words. Now they =do= divide into two camps…… we can summarize the constellation of manifestations of which, as: Hillary supporters, and Trump supporters.

The ones who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN are in the latter camp. The big problem with those folks is….. in practice, you cannot get them to write you a check by scaring them them with cootie-encrusted boogymen. They’re too busy saving (say for example) Constitutional Carry in the USA – any resources left over, are spent on saving (say for example) IDF Lone Soldiers

So if you were an enterprising Pro Jew, you’d probably focus on the Hillary supporters – ie, the ones who WATCH things happen and kvetch about it. They will buy tickets to your lectures at the 92nd Street Y, they will send checks to your SPLC. Get yourself a degree in Sociology; you can harvest a few bucks off of them.

The point isn't to set up a new website - it's to milk wealthy left-wing Jews so David Brock can add to the perks he currently enjoys as a key player in Media Matters. Does he worry he'll merely cannibalize HuffPo's traffic? Why would he care? HuffPo doesn't pay him.
