Pavlich: DOJ using Media Matters to cover up Fast and Furious

3:52 PM 09/18/2012

Townhall magazine news editor Katie Pavlich told The Daily Caller that being a target of a collaboration between the Justice Department and the left-wing advocacy organization Media Matters indicates the Obama administration’s desire to “cover up” Operation Fast and Furious.

Targeting journalists with the help of a liberal message group, Pavlich said in an email, “is just another example of Obama’s Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, to cover-up the lethal Fast and Furious scandal.”

“The Justice Department has blood on its hands and Tracy Schmaler is doing everything possible to wash it off.” Emails obtained by TheDC through a Freedom of Information Act request, which TheDC published on Tuesday, show DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, and Media Matters staffers working together to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. (RELATED: Emails reveal Justice Dept. regularly enlists Media Matters to spin press)
