Welcome back more controversy surrounding media matters that liberal organization.

Whose self proclaimed goal is to take down Fox News.

Its founder David Brock has a very special super pac now that works behind the scenes with President Obama is super pac.

Does that violate any laws -- Fox News contributor and editor in chief of the daily caller Tucker Carlson good morning Tucker.

Good morning -- David Brock in addition to had not media matters he also.

Couple years ago started something called American bridge 21 century which is -- a super pac.

All right so -- Who -- David -- super -- teamed up with.

Well George Soros -- And given a million dollars among many other democratic donors most of whose identities -- secret that's the whole point of the super -- of course.

You can keep your identity secret and and give money to break the law specifies that a super -- -- -- in coordination with the campaign of course they exist to help campaigns but they can't port and the problem is that David Brock is also the head of media matters and wearing that hat he has extensively coordinated with the White House political operation.

Which is another name really for the Obama campaign in -- fact.

And so we have documented coordination.

Between Brock and the White House and it is also -- the super pac.

Well that's a clear violation of campaign and -- is and if it.

It it seems very clear to me -- this is not something that we have proven and it's not something that the government's -- after him on.

But there's clearly coordination and you could say well.

You know that was in my capacity as the head of another organization OK but you're still in regular content.

-- coordinating a message and I think that's a problem -- there's also the hypocrisy of Barack Obama -- who famously has excoriated super president -- terrible idea a blight on.

Democracy stuff like that well there there -- various special interest yeah sure but he is completely embrace them especially now that he's in a tough go.

Well of course because they're having trouble raising money in a straightforward way that is to say.

Raising money for the campaign -- and so they're relying on these these outside groups which.

Are actually not really outside -- -- very much inside the tent so it beat -- we've talked for years about how media matters is out to destroy Fox News.

Now that there's this super -- in their raising presumably millions of dollars as well and there are some coordination between the super pac and media matters.

Can the super -- use those millions of dollars to try to take down Fox News to.

-- sure anything at watch -- I should also -- that -- David Brock as as said many times that -- he's on the Jihad against Fox News but not just fox also christianity.

Right -- part of their stated goal is to fight Christian propaganda.

And also they have a long history of attacking Israel Alan Dershowitz accuse him of anti semitism.

For their work against Israel so yeah but that money in the short answer is yes that money can be used to attack whoever they want.

Okay great that's good that you broke the story to our attention.

Tucker Carlson from the daily caller thank you for joining us from the bureau.
