Mad at biased news?  Sick of media spin?  Do something about it!

FAIR exposes the distortions the corporate passes off as 'news' - from global warming denials to skewed coverage of Iraq. But we need your support - your donations and subscriptions - to make this work possible.

We need to raise $50,000 by the end of the year to meet our budget needs. You're one of 50,000 activists on our list who make our media activism work.  Helps us reach our year-end goal!

Go to: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=139 to make a donation today.

In the last year alone contributors like yourself have allowed us to produce:

* A major study investigating poverty coverage in mainstream media that examined 38 months of nightly news broadcasts.

* Two rigorously researched annual reports: Fear and Favor and Think Tank Monitor.

* Fifty-two weekly CounterSpin programs - the best media criticism show on the airwaves.

* Over 70 Action Alerts and Media Advisories - activism campaigns that get results.

* More than 100 interviews with mainstream and independent journalists to inform coverage on the issues.

* Over a thousand posts to Media Views - FAIR's annotated online newswire.

..and all this is available online, absolutely free

Your donations make this work possible.
Make a contribution to FAIR today so we can boost our efforts for 2008.
