Transgender Lives Are Not Up for Debate

Many in the media have been quick to denounce the Trump administration’s attempts to define away transgender people—without, however, assessing the ways that media coverage of trans issues have set the stage for this formalized discrimination.

What’s FAIR

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.
