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.

TRANSPARENCY!!!!! PLEASE!!!! MONEY – DOES NOT A HUMAN MAKE!!!
Dear Diane Sawyer:
Wow, we are all richer.That’s good news for about…99% of the nation. : )
SO——-what do we get and when do we get it? Are the banks finally paying US back, or have the corporations finally decided that the real meaning of patriotism is paying taxes? This is exciting news as I find that I owe the IRS some money, so please tell us ALL how much and when this “Richness” is arriving; if this will be delayed, I need to advise the IRS.
Thanks loads, Ms Sawyer, and if this turns out not to be true…………it will be very hard for people to trust any network news or major media people if they continue to louse up so many facts. Is my check in the mail?
