Under Siege From Trump and Musk, a Top Liberal Group Falls Into Crisis

Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down โ€” all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...

UPDATE for all of Fox News live coverage from July 14

Biden: 158 mentions
Epstein: 8 mentions*

Trump ordered a stop to the Epstein coverage and Fox's stars obeyed.

*Epstein tally includes this example; no mentions before the 6 p.m. ET hour:

Reminder that Elon is still suing Media Matters in like 15 different venues for reporting that Nazi content even appears on Twitter. Now the bot thatโ€™s trained on the siteโ€™s tweets sounds like Rappinโ€™ Goebbels.

Media Matters sues FTC over advertising investigation The media watchdog alleged the government probe is retaliation and violates its First Amendment rights.

"The Trump administration has demonstrated that it will not hesitate to abuse the powers of the federal government to undermine the First Amendment and stifle dissent." โ€“ @goangelo.bsky.social on @mmfa.bsky.social's lawsuit against the FTC.
