FAIR TV: Obama’s Forgotten ‘Surge,’ Rebranding Jeb Bush, Climate Expert Coulter

This week: Obama’s Afghan War drawdown was big news–but what do media leave out of the story of the White House’s war strategy?

Plus the New York Times assists in a Jeb Bush rebranding effort and CNN goes to climate change expert…Ann Coulter?

Thank you for including the facts in your version of the news; reliable sources of facts are increasingly rare, and facts seem quite useful in making good decisions. That said, it’s a bit clearer why politicians might be quite annoyed with facts. Again, thank you.

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.
