FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.

I’m still waiting for a war crimes trial for the fraudulently justified revisionary wars of terror/aggression following the treasonous mass murder demolitions of Sept 11, 2001.
peace for all
I am still amazed how we are have been debating for at least 3 years whether we should intervene to stop the war crimes of Assad and his allies that include an organization considered a terrorist organization
” Hezbollah”, these war crimes were documented by UN, and include the death of at least 200,000 people over the last 3 1/2 years, ( an average of 145 citizens killed every single day of the year for the last three and a half years), using chemical weapons and many other forbidden arms, not to mention, about 500,00 injured and disabled, 250,000 in Assad’s prisons, about 12 million displaced from their homes, (6-7 million displaced internally and 5-6 million refugees in neighboring countries and throughout the world, including 2.5 million children) about 6 million houses destructed, (Syrian population is about 20-22 million ), hospitals, mosques, churches, bakeries, water and electricity plants, destructed, continued daily bombing by planes and heavy artillery throughout the country, and we went to intervene after a by- product of his violence, without any meaningful debate, within few weeks, leaving Assad, to continue the killing as he was doing for the past 3 years.
most Syrians are amazed at what we are trying to achieve, and see us, and Assad, as allies, sharing the responsibility for his war crimes, they dislike ISIS, and majority still stand against it, but more people are starting to see ISIS as the least of the two evils: Assad, supported by our (intentional?) persistence on inaction, and( intentionally?) ignoring the active support by Iran, Hezbollah and Maliki’s militias, as compared to ISIS and their craze .
Isn’t this exactly the opposite of what we are looking for?( or is it actually not ! )
