Illinois Republican Andy Martin Sues David Brock, Media Matters for America to Block Left-Wing Group

WASHINGTON, May 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Chicago-based Internet journalist, broadcaster and media critic Andy Martin will hold a Washington, DC news conference Friday, May 11th at 11:00 A.M. to announce that he has sued the left-wing group Media Matters for America, David Brock and Brock's associates at MMFA.

Since the 1960s Martin has been Illinois' leading public interest advocate (see AndyMartin.com). Martin, an independent Republican, is currently an announced candidate for U. S. Senator (AndyforUSSenator.com).

"David Brock has invented a new form of political organization: a tax exempt group that is subsidized by taxpayers while Brock gets to spew his hate/smears," Martin charges. "The sympathetic left-wing national media love it.

"Brock attacked Don Imus. He has attacked Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. And he as also smeared me. I am in good company with national media personalities.

"I have sued Brock and MMFA. He can defend his defamatory accusations in DuPage County, Illinois Circuit Court.

"I can't prove it yet, but I believe there are links between Brock's tax exempt hate/smear group and Barack Obama's campaign," Martin will state.

Brock and MMFA smeared Martin for Martin's column in NewsMax.com accusing Obama of "hiding his white grandmother."

Martin's lawsuit is on file in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, Docket Number 2007L000435. Brock was served with the lawsuit on Thursday.

Martin will remain in Washington through Saturday.
