:Actually, no. Brock is a former light of the conservative movement, and knows whereof he speaks. The frustration exhibited by conservatives over the success of MMFA is understandable, but that doesn't diminish MMFA's reputation as a fair, balanced, and ''reliable'' source. --[[User:BobMifune|BobMifune]] ([[User talk:BobMifune#top|talk]]) 02:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC) |

::No. It is only reliable for information about itself. It does raise issues and links to the sources it feels support its opinions. Those sources may be useful for a Wiki article, but MMFA's views of those article are not. In others words, if someone wants to add something MMFA said, they should use the primary sources themselves to make that point, if legitimate, not the MMFA article itself. MMFA spin is not encyclopedic, except about itself. The underlying source may be encyclopedic and should be used instead. --[[User:LegitimateAndEvenCompelling|LegitimateAndEvenCompelling]] ([[User talk:LegitimateAndEvenCompelling|talk]]) 02:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC) |

Revision as of 02:39, 6 October 2009
Re: Levin Page
Thanks Bob. If you could refer me on information about how to create a user account that's something I'd like to do. Also, I am planning on replacing the section, but I'm in the process of reworking it first to address some of the constructive criticism that was offered on the discussion page.
Update: please ignore the above message. I was able to find info on creating a user account and have now done so.BigTex71 (talk) 03:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Media Matters for America
Your comment on the Levin talk page about MMFA being "fair and balanced" might strike many people as being rather humorous, to say the least. Indeed, MMFA itself claims to be a watchdog for "conservative misinformation," as founder David Brock calls it. That's hardly NPOV, anymore than the conservative counterparts such as Accuracy in Media are. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
