Media Matters' David Brock: Self-Styled Martyr of the Radical Totalitarian Left
◼ Yes, that’s David Brock, the current head of Media Matters, circa 1997. - Andrew Breitbart/Big Government
Now, that picture isn’t obscure. It was a big photo in Esquire magazine, accompanying Brock’s “coming out” tell-all as a liberal.
But try Googling it. It’s nowhere to be found....
What happened to the picture that tells (Brock's) story? It disappeared. But thankfully, some of us media veterans have access to the hard copy of the Esquire “Confessions of a Right-Wing Hit Man” feature, and can now put that photo back into play—with all its narcissism and desire for fame, adulation and martyrdom.
And those traits are on display now, too. Brock is still treated with a respect he has never earned, for doing the same assassin’s work he supposedly moved away from when he made his convenient political conversions. He has created an Assassins Bureau on Massachusetts Avenue. He still apparently parties to the wee hours, lives the high life like he did back when he was on the allegedly uptight right, and is protected by the power elite. Just like Arianna Huffington is. Because they are on the correct team now. They are assassins against their former friends and allies.
And with friendship comes privilege. And that means the left has been covering up for Brock’s erratic past and present. And the missing photo that is rediscovered is just a small piece of the David Brock puzzle.
