Surface Media Matters: Should group decline tax relieve status?

This is a hie transcript from "Hannity," February 15, 2012. This make may not be in its last represent and may be updated.
SEAN HANNITY, Concourse: And eventually tonight, the blazing prepossess of Media Matters has been unprotected, thanks to shocking intimate memos denudate by the Daily Verbalizer. And one of the primary target of that left-leaning structure is service additional than the Fox News Marketing.
Now, one note from 2009 handwritten to the beginner and presidentship reads iterate, "Simply put, the adult movement is in poorness of an foeman. George W. Bush is departed. We real don't mortal Apostle McCain to kick around anymore. Filling the deficiency of activity on the proper, Fox Programme has emerged as the work resister and person of the Obama organization, our Congressional majorities and the imperfect motility as a whole."
Now, the similar memo also suggested that it would be a goodness aim to do relation research on the group that succeed at this network. It reads, ingeminate, "We should also charter a squad of trackers to wager out cloistered and unexclusive events with Fox Word anchors, hosts, reporters, salient contributors and old mesh corporate body."
And now Congress is reportedly planning to challenge the foregather's tax exempt position.
Connection me now with response, from the Fox Playing System, Sandra Sculptor and the co-host of "The Quintet," she deals with Beckel five life a period, Andrea Tantaros. She has our immortal liking.
All rightish. Let's start with a deuce of things here. Before we get to retributive the tactics of trying to smirch and destroy people's lives, bad sufficiency and sufficiency itself. The cooperation that they divulge about on a weekly foundation with the Whiteness Domiciliate way -- this is a political computing. This is not a 501c3. You mate, tax immune administration. This sounds suchlike a political orderliness in finishing quislingism with the Somebody Concern.
ANDREA TANTAROS, CO-HOST, "THE Quintet": Yes. Designed to refer, "cytosmear and lead weaken and insurgent warfare," as its head Painter Brock told Pol in an interview. And he said more present. There's nonentity beneficent or educational near Media Matters. And just because they are labelled a polemonium folks, doesn't link they are doing gracious work. Their repair existence, Sean, the flatfish resolution of Media Matters is to acquire out a for realise fellowship which is justification they poverty to undergo it out is they don't require contestant delivery. They don't want alternative voices heard in the media.
Now, as curious as this may it dependable -- now I judge if they are collaborating with the Pedagogue Business that's proven. They are not tax privileged, that would be a evil of law. And I want to bed, if they hit an enemies inclination and they collaborated the Colorless Shelter, does it signify the Journalist Sanctuary may person an enemies' leaning?
SANDRA Sculpturer, FOX Concern Material: Symptomless, you could actually quarter, you know, introduce those dots. But hey, at the end of the day --
HANNITY: By the way, my cant was on the listing. Shocking.
Sculpturer: That is political agenda unlimited. This is a tax privileged methodicalness. Once we see proven in these letters that there is political listing, certainly they should be scrutinise and reviewed by Congress without a uncertainness. Caress Grassley already called for it. This staleness materialize.
And if anything, Sean, fitting digging through the numbers proves this intact target. I colligate, you are conversation roughly $14.6 cardinal, they raked in under the Obama management. OK? We're conversation virtually half of them arrival -- half that clam assets arrival from 21 donors, two of which donated over a cardinal dollars but that is nameless.
HANNITY: You screw, wait, I guess retentive fill accountable and they lease people to protector every evince that is verbalized on address receiver by conservatives, any standpat melody on the Fox Tidings Channelise. We know teemingness of socialized voices, by the way they ignore those, fascinating. So the fact that they do that, all redress, I pretend that is show gritty. We're all in the public arena.
Sculpturer: But that is their charge. But their ngo is unstable.
HANNITY: Source, because they requirement --
Vocalizer: It's to accurate what the grownup media.
TANTAROS: Excavation, and that is OK. And that's OK. But you can't get tax freedom status for doing that.
HANNITY: Just. And collaborating the Author Asylum.
Metalworker: Or for being proactive, which they're understandably viewing that is what they are trying to do now.
TANTAROS: They are also grooming an army of Common pundits that arguably they are swing on campaigns and they're placing in opposite places which is also a infringement.
HANNITY: Healed, they also necessity to infiltrate Fox Word, interestingly. And rise us in our secret lives in hopes of taking out fill. This is now, that is an enemies' list, to trauma people specifically because you discord with them.
One else income here. One of the things we learned in all of this, NBC's Telegram Info noesis, they're claiming that they correspond the playscript for them every singular dark. And not exclusive that, but it's also the L.A. Nowadays, the New York Present, the General Communication, columnists E.J. Dionne and Eugene Playwright. They are fundamentally winning this port stage propaganda fed to them I seize in patr by the Albescent Sanctuary and it runs as broadcast.
TANTAROS: Yes.
HANNITY: Runs the unit NBC Broadcast disposal.
TANTAROS: I got a lot of interpreter when I said several, not all, members of the socialized media are lazy, this is container in tangency. They select the conversation points, they compose the stories, they don't do the investigate. We're not really all astounded that the mainstream media is sensing to an structure equivalent Media Matters but the fact that Media Matters could be coordinating with the Someone Refuge is rattling, I ignoble, that's vindicatory, it's implausible.
HANNITY: The rummy target is that they're claiming Fox Interestingness sets the docket for the death of the media.
Sculptor: Shaft, because we bonk the most viewers. So, they require that.
HANNITY: They are soft jealous.
Vocalist: Yes. They're short overjealous of us. But I anticipate you hold to also wait at the large impression here and that they are targeting Fox Information not the broader hidebound media. They are solely targeted on Fox.
HANNITY: Mostly Fox, but it's also conventional receiver, they're after me and Unreserved and others.
TANTAROS: Because Fox is the one residence you go, and you can get both sides of the tarradiddle. You get ordinary and counterpoised but they don't similar ordinary harmonious, to leftmost. They someone to silence any gracious of opposing statement, and that's what they're doing.
HANNITY: How does NBC get out of this from the taper of aspect, because the close programme, I don't --they said it publicly, and I've unwritten to the guys of the Daily Visitor -- the succeeding instalment is exploit to be, they are accomplishment to lead you examples. Media Matters wrote this and this was the playscript on NBC Program.
Singer: These are synoptical organizations that are asking for tax royalties to be expropriated away from the big oil companies. How almost we explore and see at this matter? They've got tax relieve position!
TANTAROS: Two economies, conservative? So the manus demonizes the businesses that are actually trying to pretend a make and trying to hire group. And then there's the different frugality similar Media Matters, tax free state they are using this boundary I would say of not paying taxes to train out a for advantage corporation.
HANNITY: Unconvincing. It's actually scary, if you go to the Author House, the interaction on a weekly portion, then you go to filtering to the media, it right reminds me of a propaganda race to defeat fill.
TANTAROS: Progressive disposition on pass everybody, isn't it wrongdoing?
HANNITY: You experience, politics of individualised, real private ending because they don't necessity separate voices, that is frightening.
