A federal judge on Friday shut down the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) investigation into far-left Media Matters.
US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction against the FTC and blocked its investigation into Media Matters.
The judge said the Trump Administration illegally retaliated against Media Matters.
“This case presents a straightforward First Amendment violation,” judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote.
In May, the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into Media Matters for America, the far left group that targets conservative media outlets and personalities to put them out of business.
Media Matters for America is funded by the top Democrat Megadonors who value their work.
Soros-funded Media Matters and several leftist groups like Sleeping Giants run by Matt Rivitz have been harassing American corporations for years to quit advertising with conservative platforms, websites and businesses. The Gateway Pundit has been a prime target by these leftist groups and government agencies.
In May 2022, CNN published a hit piece on Elon Musk and Twitter. The article was the far left’s attempt to sway advertisers from posting ads on Twitter.
Elon Musk exposed the culprits behind the coordinated attacks on X’s advertisers – Media Matters. CNN even admitted that Media Matters sent out a threatening letter to Twitter advertisers to quit paying for ads on the platform.
Elon Musk announced in November 2023, that his company X-Corp will be filing a “thermo-nuclear” lawsuit against Media Matters “the second court opens on Monday.”
Elon added that he will sue “Their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them…”
In his statement, he released earlier this year, Elon accused Media Matters of creating a fake account that then curated the posts and advertising appearing on the account’s timeline to misinform advertisers about the placement of their posts.
The FTC in May announced that it would open an investigation into the far-left advocacy group for their coordinated attacks on X and its advertisers.
The US Federal Trade Commission demanded documents from Media Matters about its coordination with other leftist groups to rid X of its advertisers.
