Newly published emails show the top spokeswoman at the U.S. Justice Department regularly collaborating with the liberal advocacy group Media Matters on stories that slam the administration's critics.

The emails, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and published by The Daily Caller, often show department public affairs chief Tracy Schmaler communicating with Media Matters bloggers. Sometimes, the emails were in response to inquiries. Other times, Schmaler was pitching ideas, according to the Caller.

In a January 2012 email chain, Schmaler sent a Media Matters writer lines from House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa's comments at a recent hearing. She reportedly underlined passages where the California Republican tries to explain the difference between Operation Fast and Furious and other anti-gunrunning operations under former President George W. Bush.

Hours later, an article appeared on Media Matters' site titled "Rep. Issa Ties Himself in Fast and Furious Knots."

Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson, also a Fox News contributor, said the emails show "moment-to-moment coordination" between the department and Media Matters.

"We received a massive amount of these communiques that indicate direct coordination between the Obama Justice Department ... and Media Matters to subvert news stories," he said Tuesday. "This proves coordination."

Emails from late 2010 also reportedly showed Schmaler sending Media Matters information to help challenge claims that the department dealt lightly with New Black Panther members who allegedly intimidated voters in Philadelphia in 2008.

We may have had crooks in office before, but my god we went from the frying pan into the fire. Literally.

The main (lame) stream media will ignore investigation into this charge as they do everything that could be considered detrimental to a BHO reelection.

Apparently nothing is beneath the BHO administration. And they get that good old free pass!

The best line from the linked article: "What is this, Hugo Chavez's Venezuela?"

It is rapidly approaching that point and BHOs brain dead defenders don't even see the train coming.

If Romney is so weak...arrogant...and the worst candidate in history...why does the COWH and his administration act so desparate?...In polls they say he's up by 5% and then we find that 10% more democrats/COWH supporters were polled...and it's still within the margin of error?...People ask why Romney isn't further ahead...look at the treatment...scrutiny and hatchet journalism jobs done by the media and their love fest reporting/support for the COWH...that may go a long way to explain...

I'm just trying to get my head around how you numbskulls think that a public affairs office feeding info to the press is somehow a scandal. Do you really have no clue as to the function of public affairs offices?

Let me clue you in, just a little. Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller has had a raging hard-on for Media Matters and Eric Holder's DOJ for almost four years. At least twice a month he's "breaking" the story on a new "scandal". And, do you know what he's gotten for his efforts so far? Zilch, zero, nada. Keep chasing those bright, shiny objects, imbeciles.

Meanwhile, a special treat for the forum's biggest fan of bright, shiny objects;

Hope you've taken your blood pressure meds today, nobrain.

spin what ever you want. media matters is supposed to be a non politcal affiliated media outlet. It is tax exempt because of that. They clearly broke the law by feeding them tid bits to try and get media matters to spin public relations for them to thier favor. <<thats what the hoopla is about.

obviously you dont find anything wrong with a tax exempt media outlet working directly with the attorney generals office to spin leftwing news to the masses.

I guess you have no problem with our govenment ruling over the media an telling them what to say, which is what they did here.

You will like it until the rightwing starts doing it, then you wont like it.

Sally is a poser who imagines himself an intellectual giant when in all actuality the loser is a brain dead BHO shill. Old Sally also never met a fact that couldn't be ignored when said fact is detrimental to his misguided efforts to protect his dream lover BHO.

'Intellectual giant' and 'Sally' should NEVER be used in the same sentence under any circumstance...bad enough he may imagine that to be true in his mind (?) but to see it in print!.........

More drivel from the poser. Nothing to say of substance so Sally tosses in cute little gifs. You must have eaten all of your breakfast baby food at the institution to be allowed computer access this early Sally. Good job, I look forward to more of your inane attacks through the day.

if nothing else of concern... it should bother everyone that the govt is cultivating this relationship. it's a common thing in certain govts. but i guess if that doesn't matter... the ethics certainly don't matter... just like acorn didn't matter. it's as if liberals prefer skewed "information"... the truth is relative to that ideology.
