*Rabin-Havt: "Fox News is legitimizing and spreading the paranoia of the
lunatic fringe."*

*WASHINGTON, D.C. – **Media Matters Action Network* announced the launch of
SmearBuster.org <http://smearbuster.org/>, a new website fighting back
against the right-wing smear machine’s progressive witch hunt.  Oozing with
desperation, conservatives in the media and on Capitol Hill have resorted to
spouting fringe-inspired lies and paranoid conspiracy theories in their
ongoing vendetta against high-profile progressives.

Conservatives have launched a war against progressives such as Cass
Sunstein, Carol Browner, Mark Lloyd, John Holdren and Van Jones. Through
SmearBuster.org <http://smearbuster.org/>, *Media Matters Action Network *will
expose the false smears spread by conservatives attempting to halt
progressive change.

“Fox News is legitimizing and spreading the paranoia of the lunatic fringe,”
*Media Matters Action Network* Managing Director Ari Rabin-Havt said. “Our
mission is to confront misinformation at its source; and more often than
not, the source is Glenn Beck.”

A prosperous America requires a well-informed population participating in
the democratic process, not a citizenry paralyzed with the fear instilled in
them by egomaniacal television personalities and radio hosts.

"Glenn Beck’s Fox News and his minions are targeting high-profile
progressives.  SmearBuster.org will fight back against their preposterous
lies,” Rabin-Havt added.

Earlier this month, *Media Matters Action Network* launched
EmailChecker.org<http://emailchecker.org/>to counter conservative
misinformation gone viral.  EmailChecker.org
provides users with ready-made responses to the most common and most
egregious email smears.

###

*Media Matters Action Network *is a Web-based, not-for-profit, progressive
action and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring,
analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation.
