This site is is a Wiki-style site that aims to produce a directory of public relations firms, think tanks, industry-funded organizations, and industry-friendly experts that work to influence public opinion and public policy on behalf of corporations, governments, and special interest groups. Though clearly progressively biased, this site is factual in its content. See: *****

A search reveals SourceWatch has been questioned by American Council on Science and Health. The latter, according to Mediabias/factcheck leans right and has been criticized for having pro-business/pro-industry bias. ***** ***** ***** *SourceWatch is managed and published by the Center for Media and Democracy (PR Watch). ***** https://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Purpose *MediaShift, itself analyzed with "a very slight bias in favor of left leaning media", notes that SourceWatch doesn't adhere to neutrality. ***** ***** *Rational Wiki has its own page analyzing SourceWatch, which I find very helpful. *****

This website is full of bunk and one sided. Liberalism is a mental disorder and so is sourcewatch.

Great resource for those wishing to expose astroturfers and vested interests.

Consensus gatekeeper with bias.

Good information, but like every self-anointed whistleblower, has as much of a bias as the groups it goes after.
