Decades After False Convictions, ‘When They See Us’ Highlights Media Failure

The conversation around When They See Us would be incomplete without a serious reckoning with corporate media’s role in fanning the flames of racist hysteria and misinformation.

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.
