SourceWatch

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch

I suppose it all depends on your politics, but personally my faith in corporate owned national media only goes so far. There are tons of documented cases of special interest groups and governments intervening in the media. So how is one to know what's true and what's total BS? That's where SourceWatch comes in. Published by the Center for Media and Democracy, SourceWatch is a "collaborative specialized encyclopedia of the corporate front groups, PR teams, "experts," industry-friendly groups, and think tanks trying to influence public opinion on behalf of corporations or government agencies, highlighting key public policies they are trying to affect and providing ways to get involved." They also give you strategies on researching front groups and uncovering propaganda! Thanks!
