If I was a political mercenary, I would be using my talents in another line of work.

I want to have a media platform that is an honest broker and not just a mouthpiece for a political party.

I became a conservative for the first dozen years of my professional life in Berkeley, Calif., and it was a reaction against political correctness, so I get it.

When I founded Media Matters, there was another model, which would have been to call this the Brock Report. But I was much less interested in my own profile by that point, because I had already done that once, and it was not terribly fulfilling at the end of the day.

Nobody ever said that Hillary's nomination would be unopposed or would be something that was foreordained.

Eventually the story would spill over into the regular media.
