Media Matters Founder David Brock Reserves ‘Special Place in Hell’ for New York Times

David Brock, the founder of liberal watchdog Media Matters who crusaded against the Clintons decades ago before becoming one of their fiercest supporters, takes on the New York Times in a new book depicting a conservative media witch hunt against the former Secretary of State. In his upcoming book, “Killing the Messenger: The Right-Wing Plot to Derail Hillary Clinton and Hijack Your Government,” Brock accuses the Times’ recently-ousted Washington bureau chief Carolyn Ryan of being a driving force behind turning the paper into a “megaphone for conservative propaganda” by unfairly covering Clinton.

The paper of record will “have a special place in hell,” he wrote in the book. Brock suggested interviews with Times staffers adds credibility to his case. The Times fired back at the accusations, saying, “David Brock is an opportunist and a partisan who specializes in personal attacks.”
