Media Matters for America
Media Matters for America (MMfA) is a left-leaning 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and media watchdog group. It was founded in 2004 by journalist and political activist David Brock as a counterweight to the conservative Media Research Center. It seeks to combat conservative misinformation and disinformation. Two notable initiatives include the "Drop Fox" campaign (2011-2013) that sought to discredit Fox News' 'fair and balanced' claims; and a 2023 report about X (formerly Twitter) that highlighted antisemitism on the platform. In addition to reports, the organization issues quick responses to conservative misinformation across a range of media outlets.
