Eric Boehlert’s ‘proof’ Media Matters won war against Fox News gets mega-mocked

Posted at 8:11 pm on December 13, 2013 by Doug P.

As Twitchy reported, Media Matters has laughingly declared itself victorious in the so-called “war on Fox News.”

As if the world needed any additional evidence, Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert offered this as “proof” of MMFA’s self-proclaimed victory:

this is what we mean when @mmmfa says we've won the war vs. Fox: it's now routinely treated as a laughing stock; http://t.co/PlhpZyu4H9

Reaction in a Buzzfeed article about something a top-rated Fox News host said in regards to Santa Claus means Media Matters has won the war? Well alrighty then.

For some, however, that wasn’t convincing enough:

No, seriously @EricBoehlert, this is just fantastic evidence. Beyond a shadow of doubt. Great job, Douche Tracy. https://t.co/DVPHsr8upG

@RBPundit Nah, @ericboehlert just thinks MMFA's readers will believe it.

.@EricBoehlert @mmmfa Ahh. Gotcha. You've proven your case with minority examples of a fictional character based on a German. You win.

Repeatedly telling yourself that you've "won" doesn't say much for your actual confidence level on this topic, does it? @EricBoehlert @mmmfa
