It’s standard practice for surrogates to go after political opponents. But the attacker’s connections to the candidate aren’t always clear—or disclosed by the news media.

Found this interesting quote: “I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don’t know who started the idea that a President must be a Politician instead of a Business man. A Politician can’t run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. That’s the biggest single business in the World.” – Will Rogers, January 14, 1923
May I send your way ‘six degrees’ of WOWS? Few Americans have any knowledge of David Brock, David Axelrod or Jim Messina. Thus, dumbed down is it any wonder few see the link between ‘Super Pacts’ & the Clintons? Clearly, Media Matters & high-falutin, misleading slogans as “Correct the Record” are designed to hoodwink & bamboozle the public. It seem many journalist & liberal party hacks are only too willing to deceive the people. In short, thank you for your efforts in trying to educate the public & shed light on ‘six degrees’ of collusion!
I agree with almost all of this, however, it’s important to note that neither Media Matters or virtually anything Clinton related is left-wing,
