STUNNING: Girl Scouts Book Refers Readers to Ultra-Liberal Group Media Matters to Clear Up ‘Media Misinformation’
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on December 29, 2011
Girls Scouts isn't just about empowering young girls and selling cookies anymore - it's been infiltrated by ultra-liberal Media Matters to help push liberal ideology
For seven years, I served as a Girl Scout troop leader, and have many happy, enriching memories of our troop visiting the police station, the fire station, conducting charity food drives, going on outdoor encampments, marching in parades, selling cookies — my co-leaders and I were blessed to be involved and to help nurture and instill in these young women self-confidence, family and American values, and hands-on skills and knowledge to assist them as adults.
This new report is stunning, and has me sickened.
Media Matters for America is an ultra-liberal media tool of progressives and is funded partially by billionaire socialist George Soros.
And now, Girl Scouts of America is claiming it to be the most reliable source to “clear up media misinformation.”
Heaven help us…
Reported by The Blaze, Girl Scouts Book Refers Readers to Liberal Group Media Matters to Clear Up ‘Media Misinformation’:
In 2010, the Girl Scouts of the USA published a book called “MEdia.” The publication, designed for girls in grades six through eight, is a guide that apparently offers insight into how young people should process and understand the media messages surrounding them.
Considering the pervasive nature of popular media, this seems like a viable tool. However, there’s a problem — the book refers young readers to Media Matters for America as one of the primary sources for debunking lies and deceit.
On the surface, “MEdia” seems like it’s an excellent resource (and in some ways maybe it is) that encourages self-reflection and skepticism — two very understandable and useful tenets. But on page 25 of the book, a very curious recommendation is given.
Under the headline, “Consider the Source,” text encourages girls to go to the George Soros-funded Media Matters for America web site to clear up any media misinformation they might encounter. It reads:
The Internet is a breeding ground for “urban legends,” which are false stories told as if true. Next time you receive a txt or e-mail about something that seems unbelievable, confirm it before you spread it.
The fact-checking site snopes.com investigates everything from urban legends to “news” articles and posts its findings. Media Matters for America (http://mediamatters.org/) gets the word out about media misinformation.
Additionally, while snopes.com is reliable about garden-variety data, it is blatantly pro-liberal, pro-Democrat, pro-Obama in its political “myth busting.”
