Wow, never heard of it, but it looks excellent!  Good to see people trying to expose the agenda of privately owned media - though obviously in a capitalist society their message will not get out.

I consider it a positive influence, because it points out right-wing lies, but I'm not too fond of it's immensely pro-Obama stance. Of course, MSNBC is the same way, but both are still pretty good.

Good idea, bad execution. Pretending as though the "left" is any more trustworthy takes a lot of steam out of what they're doing. Clearly politically motivated media correction is just as bad as the absurdities FOX puts out in the first place. Politically affiliated watchdogs tend not to be watchdogs as much as they're just childish partisans with an agenda. In this case at least the net impact is a positive.

I personally think its a FO. There's no way that they can compete with Fox in terms of audience and scope, but the work they do in correcting the Fox hosts is good.
