Looks like the WH's Media Matters division has another war going on. They must be doing something to scare the left.

In the first few lines, Frisch explained why Media Matters should launch a Fox Fund whose mission would be to attack the Fox News Channel. Simply put, Frisch wrote, the progressive movement is in need of an enemy. George W. Bush is gone. We really dont have John McCain to kick around any more. Filling the lack of leadership on the right, Fox News has emerged as the central enemy and antagonist of the Obama administration, our Congressional majorities and the progressive movement as a whole. We must take Fox News head-on in a well funded, presidential-style campaign to discredit and embarrass the network, making it illegitimate in the eyes of news consumers. What Frisch proceeded to suggest, however, went well beyond what legitimate presidential campaigns attempt. We should hire private investigators to look into the personal lives of Fox News anchors, hosts, reporters, prominent contributors, senior network and corporate staff, he wrote. After that, Frisch argued, should come the legal assault: We should look into contracting with a major law firm to study any available legal actions that can be taken against Fox News, from a class action law suit to defamation claims for those wronged by the network. I imagine this would be difficult but the right law firm is bound to find some legal ground for us to take action against the network. On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 12:00 PM, Larry C.
