This is an interesting complaint.

Assuming the pattern of activity X alleges is true, which X (Twitter) can in fact prove if they have the logs to document it (and, from the specificity in the complaint, they are by implication alleging they do) this is a prima-facie malicious set of actions by Media Matters.

The sheer audacity of such a course of action in the world of computers and near-free cost of storage, meaning that the logs necessary to substantiate exactly what someone has done are trivially inexpensive to keep around for exactly such a defensive and documentary purpose is stunning.  I can only assume that Media Matters believed they’d get away with it, again assuming that X has not manufactured these claims and can prove them.
