Accuracy in Media Launches New Website, “What Liberals Say”
Press Release | March 19, 2008
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2008—Accuracy in Media announced today that it has launched a new website called “What Liberals Say.” The new site, accessible at www.aim.org/wls, will showcase hundreds – and eventually thousands – of statements by high-profile liberals on controversial subjects. As a leading directory of liberal commentary, it will be a comprehensive resource for scholars, researchers and students.
“What Liberals Say fulfills the need for another reliable clearinghouse of information,” says AIM chairman Don Irvine. “When liberals distort what conservatives say, their allies in the mainstream press provide the kind of repetition necessary to cement those distortions in the public mind. However, when liberals say things that are embarrassing, foolish, or just plain wrong, their comments may initially receive some attention, but quickly lose momentum when the mainstream press turns a deaf ear.”
For someone who wants to find out what high-profile liberals like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or Nancy Pelosi have said about issues ranging from media bias to terrorism to the environment and animal rights, AIM invites you to access the website at www.aim.org/wls. Click on the List of Liberals or the Quote Topics, and take it from there. You can even search by source or topic.
Accuracy in Media is a citizens' media watchdog organization whose mission is to promote fairness, balance, and accuracy in news reporting. Founded in 1969, AIM is the oldest non-profit press watchdog group in America. For more information, please visit www.aim.org.
