When we recently checked on Media Matters in August, Elon Musk and X had won a court victory in their case against Media Matters, which was being sued for gaming the system to scare away advertisers by showing them their ads next to X posts with ugly neo-Nazi content. Media "watchdog" Media Matters is nothing more than a left-wing organization trying to silence right-wing organizations.

A day after the 2024 election, Media Matters president Angelo Carusone unleashed a diatribe on the "right wing misinformation engine” that had captured the minds of Trump voters, who "actually believe that a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for democracy." Too bad, buddy; voters didn't buy what you were selling.

The FTC has opened an investigation into Media Matters, and check out the way the New York Times' Kenneth Vogel frames the story:

It is the latest example of a corrupt organization being held to account.

By the way, when Vogel says it's the latest example of the Trump administration "targeting the infrastructure of the political left," is he including the defunding of NPR and PBS? Because we can all agree those are progressive mouthpieces.
