Title: Media Matters
Post by: Ben on February 13, 2012, 03:00:13 PM: I thought this article was interesting not so much regarding Media Matters' involvement with the Obama administration, but more so the parts about the head of Media Matters. I knew the guy was a kook, but I especially found funny the part where his assistant was carrying a handgun in DC because of Brock's fear of being attacked, which was weighed against Brock's fear of pissing off anti-gun George Soros. I love it when progressives have those "moral dilemmas". :laugh:

While commanding considerable influence in Washington media and political corners, the DC report describes Brock as "volatile," "erratic" and struggling with mania, a mental illness that manifests itself in grandiose behavior. He has reportedly admitted to drug use, specifically cocaine, and has previously discussed entering the psych ward at Sibley Hospital in Northwest Washington.

Yikes! Scary *expletive deleted*it. That was a great read = thanks!

I was wondering too, I bet its off duty LE, my brother makes good money doing that, being able to conceal carry in places like DC/NYC etc can be lucrative. Probably part of the reason they don't want nat reciprocity.

Tucker Carlson, Vince Coglianese, et al., "Inside Media Matters: Sources, memos reveal erratic behavior, close coordination with White House and news organizations", The Daily Caller, 15 Feb 2012.

"By 2010, BrockÃ†s personal assistant, a man named Haydn Price-Morris, was carrying a holstered and concealed Glock handgun when he accompanied Brock to events, including events in Washington, D.C., a city with famously restrictive gun laws. Price-Morris told others he carried the gun to protect Brock from threats. Late in 2010, other Media Matters employees learned about Price-MorrisÃ†s gun, and he was fired due to their objections. No public announcement was made."
