David Brock's Media Matters takes special delight in attacking Fox News. Of course MM hates Fox, because George Soros and the rest of Media Matters' lefty funders hate Fox. That's OK, it's a free country, everyone should be able to hate whoever they wish. However, the problem with living a life as a professional left-wing hatchetman is that eventually, you become consumed by your "work." That is, David, you become so busy hating, over there on the far fringes of portside, that you can't even see straight--it's just hate, hate, hate.
Hence this item, in which Brock's Media Matterers discover that virtually the entire media are in on a vast right-wing conspiracy to pump up Bush. And what conspiracy is that? That Bush is rising in the polls, and that it is being covered as news. And it's true: Bush is going up, according to a variety of news sources.
And since it represents a change from W's low ratings of the past year or so, the change in Bush's poll ratings can fairly be called... news.
But for MM, there's no such thing as news. There're only conspiracies.
