X says that Media Matters "created an alternate account and curated the posts and advertising etc."
Are they saying that Media Matters actually created the objectionable content in the first place? And if I understand correctly - X examined the logs and determined that the first account to view the posts in each case was Media Matters.

This has some similarities to the tactic used to smear Ron Paul during his 2012 campaign right before the republican primary in New Hampshire - where he was expected to do well.
Remember the "China Jon" video, AKA "Jon Huntsman's Values"? Eventually (too late), there was a ton of evidence suggesting that Jon Huntsman's own daughters created the "racist" video about him and posted it on youtube under the name NHLiberty4Paul to make Ron Paul look bad, while drawing sympathy and positive attention to Huntsman. It worked.
That Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the vote, the media covered nothing but the "racist" video, stupidly pretending it was released by Paul's own campaign. Everybody and their mother couldn't wait to be interviewed to denounce the video and bad-mouth Ron Paul for the entire weekend! That Tuesday, Ron did not do as well as was expected in the supposedly libertarian state of NH.
