Michael Savage backed off his threat against Media Matters

Media Matters stood its ground after Michael Savage threatened its employees.

Yesterday, Savage backed down:

In a statement during his radio show today he appeared to back off, saying only that an unidentified person was researching publicly available information such as the group’s tax filings. Non-profit organizations must file IRS form 990 and are available for public inspection.

Apparently his call for right wing talkers and fellow travelers to rise up against this media watchdog was met with a resounding silence. His attempt to push back and silence his critics appears to be a failure. It is difficult for Savage to push back against reporting that includes recordings of his own words.

Savage is a bully with a big megaphone. But, look what happened when Media Matters stood up to the bully. He ran away with his tail between his legs.
