Missouri AG Alleges Media Matters Defrauded Public, Launches Probe

William Upton – National Pulse – December 11th…

“Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has notified far-left group Media Matters – which works to de-platform conservative voices in media – they are the subject of an investigation by his office for the “fraudulent solicitation of donations from Missourians.”

According to the Attorney General, Media Matters deceptively manipulated the [Twitter] algorithm in an effort to exaggerate […] extremist / harmful content as part of a campaign urging advertisers to cut ties with the site. The fraudulent results were also used to raise money from Missourians.

[…]

Media Matters is accused of potentially violating Missouri consumer protection laws and engaging in unlawful business practices. The AG specifically sites Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.020.1 which bars nonprofit entities from soliciting funds under false pretenses. […]

As part of the investigation, Bailey has ordered Media Matters to “…preserve all records that may relate to your alleged effort to engage in coordinated, inauthentic behavior on social media platforms in order to generate false statements that were used to solicit charitable contributions under false pretenses.”

The Missouri investigation is just the latest to target the Soros-funded group. Last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his office had opened a fraud probe into whether Media Matters had violated the Texas Business Organizations Code and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

Elon Musk, the owner of X has filed a federal lawsuit against Media Matters accusing the  Soros-backed group of undermining freedom of speech and deceiving advertisers.”
