Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting
(Redirected from FAIR)

Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) is a group that criticizes the fairness and accuracy of the news media from a left-leaning standpoint. It produces press releases and reports that document and criticize conservative media bias and censorship.

FAIR was founded in 1986. In some respects, it provides a counterbalance to Accuracy in Media, an older, right-leaning media watch group.

Projects:
Counterspin, a weekly radio program.
Extra!, a bimonthly magazine.

People:
Jeff Cohen, cofounder

Uh, no, this is the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

Various of these "immigration reform" groups have ties to very shady organizations, much like the Aztlan/MEChA folks on the other side.

That's not the same group.

http://www.fairus.org/

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national, nonprofit, public-interest, membership organization of concerned citizens who share a common belief that our nation's immigration policies must be reformed to serve the national interest.

FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.

With more than 70,000 members nationwide, FAIR is a non-partisan group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative. Our grassroots networks help concerned citizens use their voices to speak up for effective, sensible immigration policies that work for America’s best interests.

FAIR’s publications and research are used by academics and government officials in preparing new legislation. National and international media regularly turn to us to understand the latest immigration developments and to shed light on this complex subject. FAIR has been called to testify on immigration bills before Congress more than any organization in America.
