1. A right wing operative of many years.

David Brock, of mediamatters.org, knows quite a bit about him, as do members of People for the American Way ( www.pfaw.org ).

Found one link:

2. He's a real dandy, so far to the right he fell off on to his head.

Heads a group called "Media Research Center" and several offshoots.

4. Parents Television Council

He's got his fingers in all sorts of things. I especially like the PTC, they're the ones who have filed something like 95% of all FCC "indecency" claims in the last 5 years or so. They have people who actually watch specific programs to "catch" something indecent so they can file a report. SpeakSpeak keeps an eye on them and is fighting back.

5. Head of Media Research Center...

...the doubleplusbad anthithesis of Media Matters, to the nth RW degree. And as sleazy as they come, yes.

I'm watching Mapes right now, too. She came THISCLOSE to naming freakrepublic.com as the source of her Web harrassment, didn't she? Glad she didn't give them the publicity with the URL.

6. I think he is the nephew of William Buckley...

And he would not have a job if it were not for the breaks of Uncle Bill...
