Media Monitoring Central
As a volunteer MMFA media monitor, you'll be able to hold the media accountable for conservative misinformation.
What is conservative misinformation?
Conservative misinformation is news or commentary presented in the media that is not accurate, reliable, or credible, and that forwards the conservative agenda.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to spend some time reading www.mediamatters.org in order to get a feel for the various ways conservative misinformation manifests itself in the media.
How to report incidents of conservative misinformation
Now that you have a sense of what you should be looking for, here's a list of some shows we would like you to monitor to help MMFA expand its coverage. You don't have to pick all these shows, or even an entire show; just dedicate whatever time you can, even if it's just a few minutes a week. And if there's a show you want to monitor that's not on this list, feel free to do so. While MMFA currently concentrates on national media, we encourage you to monitor your local media for conservative misinformation. The more people who participate, the more effective our collective coverage will be.
After you've found an instance of conservative misinformation, please report it through our contact form .
