Liberal media watch dog Media Matters for America paid $86,000 in a charity action for its CEO to lunch with Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch.
According to a press release on MMA's website, the nonprofit's founder David Brock and five invited guests will sit down for a "friendly lunch" with Murdoch, the conservative billionaire who owns Fox News. No date or restaurant has been set yet, nor has Brock announced which guests he'll bring or what he hopes they'll discuss.
Most likely, he's not interested in discussing the auction site Charity Buzz's proposed topic: to get Murdoch's advice on a new business concept. "Are you a budding entrepreneur? Do you have an idea that you are sure will propel you to success?" asks the auction page.
On the contrary, the lunch could quite likely get heated. MMA's self-described agenda is to correct news "commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda," and the organization tries to counter Fox News's conservative propaganda channels in particular. According to The Huffington Post, Media Matters has even dogeared a $1 million donation from liberal billionaire philanthropist Geroge Soros just to combat superstar Tea Party demagogue Glenn Beck.
David Brock, please bring a camera, some hard-hitting questions, and some antacid, just in case. GOOD readers, what would you ask Rupert Murdoch if Brock invited you to join them at lunch?
