Ocasio-Cortez is an obvious target for both establishment papers like the New York Times and conservative outlets like the New York Post.


Corporate media’s response indicates that they are worried that history might be on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her dress’s side.


Fox News’ story on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s polling conveniently left out the key role that the network itself has played in damaging the public reputation of the congressmember, thanks to a relentless propaganda campaign over the past six months.


While the right’s opposition to her was predictable, the response of centrist and nominally liberal media, who might have been expected to celebrate the arrival of a strong voice on the left, has been decidedly muted.


Scott Walker either does not understand how our income tax system works, or is deliberately lying to advance his agenda.


Precisely because of President Trump’s unprecedented propensity to lie, there can be a latent urge among factcheckers to find similar examples of dishonesty among the left, to provide some semblance of “fairness.” And, at times, these efforts can devolve into obtuse, bad-faith examples of nitpicking and false equivalence.

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.
