FAIR is an absolutely indispensable watchdog. Everyone who cares about the growing chasm between American supposed values and American duplicitous actions should subscribe.
Looking at Fair.org's website I see mostly liberal narratives being spun: Jan 6 was an insurrection which we should still be terrified about, right-wingers are terrible, never question trans-ideology, and Elon Musk is a terrible person. I don't doubt that FAIR does some actual good reporting, but they have a clear ideological bias. I think their about page even states that they are a "progressive" organization, which means far-left.
And if they were a truly unbiased publication, they would have done a better job reporting on the Twitter Files and the whole host of media corruption issues it laid bare. But on this subject of systematic government collaboration and bias in our social media to support government narratives, which is ostensibly the whole raison-de-etre of the FAIR organization, they were silent.
Last I looked Twitter is not a media outlet, and FAIR generally doesn’t report on anything that that hasn’t already been reported. Calling it biased is rich. Biased reporting is SOP in the mainstream media,and gives FAIR more subject matter than it can handle. If FAIR published a report about Twitter or Musk, it was most likely to shed light on crappy reporting about them, that brain-dead John Doe’s think is the unvarnished truth.
If Twitter is not a media outlet that FAIR concerns itself with, then why did they write a whole article about how Twitter is still state affiliated media that Caitlin Johnstone just used as her primary source? It had nothing to do with critiquing others' reporting. The title is "Under Musk, Twitter Continues to Promote US Propaganda Networks." They even briefly comment on some of the Twitter Files, before swiftly moving on to how Musk and Twitter are failing in every way.
The article could just have easily been written, "Musk's Twitter Files Uncover Extensive Collaboration Between Multiple State Agencies and Social Media Platforms." But FAIR instead decided to stick to mainstream liberal narratives by down-playing the Twitter Files and instead running character assassination on Musk and Twitter. Shameful reporting really. The FBI coerces social media platforms to censor a politically sensitive story before an election, and this is what FAIR thinks is important?
If you can't see it I think you might be beholden to the Liberal Narrative Matrix. Try poking your head outside it, like Caitlin is always suggesting, and you might discover a different way of looking at the world.
