Missouri AG Andrew Bailey Sues Media Matters for Violating State Consumer Protection Laws and Defrauding Missourians

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into Media Matters for America on Monday, December 11, 2023. This investigation is in response to complaints from Missourians that Media Matters has been violating state consumer protection laws and defrauding Missourians.

The investigation comes after a series of reports from The Gateway Pundit, a conservative news outlet, detailed how Media Matters has been using deceptive and misleading tactics to target Missourians and other Americans. The reports showed how Media Matters has been targeting Missourians with false and misleading information, using deceptive tactics to pressure them into donating to the organization, and using deceptive advertising to solicit donations.

The Gateway Pundit’s reports also showed how Media Matters has been using its influence to pressure Missouri politicians, including Governor Mike Parson, into supporting their causes. The reports detailed how Media Matters has been using its influence to push for the passage of controversial legislation, such as the “Red Flag” gun control bill.

In response to these reports, Attorney General Bailey has launched an investigation into Media Matters’ practices. The investigation will focus on whether Media Matters has been violating state consumer protection laws and defrauding Missourians.

The investigation is being conducted by the Missouri Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. The division is responsible for enforcing state consumer protection laws and ensuring that consumers are not being taken advantage of by businesses.

The investigation is also being conducted in partnership with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC is responsible for protecting Americans from deceptive practices and ensuring that companies are not engaging in unfair or deceptive practices.

In a statement, Attorney General Bailey said, “I am deeply concerned about the reports of Media Matters’ deceptive practices and their attempts to defraud Missourians. Our investigation will determine if Media Matters has violated state consumer protection laws and if so, we will take appropriate action to ensure that Missourians are protected from deceptive practices.”

The investigation is still in its early stages, but it is clear that Attorney General Bailey is taking this issue seriously. This is a positive step towards protecting Missourians from deceptive practices and ensuring that companies are held accountable for their actions.

It remains to be seen how the investigation will play out, but it is clear that Attorney General Bailey is taking the complaints of Missourians seriously.
