During a recent interview with Terry Gross, Hillary Clinton grew irritated when the NPR host suggested that Clinton’s public positions on gay marriage have been calculated based on political considerations.
Media Matters came to Hillary’s rescue, as CNN’s Jake Tapper noticed:
Media Matters now attacking Terry Gross.

Media Matters disagrees with the word Tapper used:
How NPR's Terry Gross Created A False Impression That Hillary Clinton Stonewalled On Marriage Equality http://t.co/vE4OWReWIj

This isn't an attack. Whether you agree or not, we are making a point that doesn't fit what the media wants to hear: http://t.co/vE4OWReWIj

For many, Media Matters vs. NPR was a “pass the popcorn” moment:
Hilarious that Hillary's staunchest media guard dogs are barking at NPR for being right-wingish….

Isn’t it? But then, part of Media Matters’ job is to make sure the MSM lapdoggies don’t stray from their assigned talking points:

Can we add another entity to Hillary’s “list”?
@instapundit @jaketapper So does that make NPR and Terry Gross part of the vast right wing conspiracy?
