October 2016: The Month Political Journalism Died

The presidential debates used to be the best opportunity to shed some light on key issues things. But as the debates have gone from substance to show biz, it doesn’t work that way anymore.

Polluters’ PBS Penance

The following are a few of the companies who have used the PBS penance to say “I’m sorry” to those who are touchy about the environment.

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.
