SodaStream is an Israeli company which makes a really cool and really popular product, essentially a make your own soda at home device. I plan on getting one. Its U.S. division is SodaStreamUSA.
This video shows the SodaStream story of building bridges between Jews...
It’s Deja Vu all over again, earnings season bringing another attempt by Cumulus Media to throw Rush Limbaugh under the Media Matters’ boycott bus.
For a bit of history on the Limbaugh boycott organized by and still pushed by Media Matters, see my prior posts from spring 2012:
As Lee Stranahan notes, it took the NY Times to vindicate Andrew Breitbart against the attacks led by Media Matters:
Many have noted the irony of Andrew Breitbart’s tireless work to expose the fraud and corruption in Pigford being vindicated by the liberal New York Times–but it’s less ironic than you might...
I don’t claim to be real good with the computer and the internet. So it is entirely possible that I missed Media Matters’ mea culpa and apology now that even the NY Times has vindicated Andrew Breitbart on the Pig...
After two and a half years, it seems Andrew Breitbart has finally been vindicated for his tireless efforts on the Pigford story.
A front page investigative piece from the New York Times has put Pigford back on the map, in a big way: Federal Spigot Flows as Farmers Claim Discrimination.
The deal, several...
The game plays out every time there is a high-profile act of criminal violence. There is an immediate media and left-blogsphere search to tie the shooter to a “right-wing” entity … usually the Tea Party movement.
Groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center have created a fundraising machine off of such
You know the greatest threat to American education as Media Matters wants it?

As we move into 2013 and the legal insurrections, we should learn from history.
As Thomas Lifson at American Thinker points out, now that the major institutions have been surrendered, it’s time to emulate the left, Here comes the Alinskyite Right:
David Gregory and Piers Morgan have both met the Alinskyite Right, and...
Carbonite famously dropped Rush Limbaugh on a Saturday Night at the height of the Sandra Fluke controversy. Carbonite became the poster child for the Rush boycott movement organized by Media Matters, which coordinated the effort with so-called independent groups.
At the time I examined Carbonite’s SEC filings, and how Carbonite had built...
Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day has proven something I’ve noticed before.
Conservatives are very good at buycotts, but very bad at boycotts.
There have been attempts by some conservative and religious groups to boycott various businesses over political issues. But I can’t think of one, at least not recently, that has caught on.
Or that has...
Earlier this month Media Matters launched its most ferocious boycott effort ever to force Rush Limbaugh off the air by intimidating advertisers.
It always was a charade, as documented here many times. Media Matters coordinated with “independent” groups to make it appear that there was a grassroots movement, but it was astroturf.

Kohler, based in Wisconsin, has joined the Rush Limbaugh boycott, according to tweets it sent out yesterday from its Twitter account, @Kohler:
It is not clear that Kohler actually ever advertised on the Limbaugh show, almost certainly not nationally. This may be another of the pre-emptive moves to take the pressure off.

This analysis by Topsy Analytics show the volume of tweets using the two most popular hasttags for the various boycott Rush groups, #StopRush and #BoycottRush.
What it shows is that activity peaked from Friday, March 2 – Monday, March 5. There still is activity, but nothing like what was sustained during the...
I have written multiple posts regarding the coordination between Media Matters and an independent group using the name Boycott Rush, which has a website BoycottRush.org and also the Stop Rush...
