*Media Matters **Launches Political Correction To Hold Conservatives
Accountable*

* *

*WASHINGTON, DC – **Media Matters Action Network* today announced the launch
of *Political Correction <http://politicalcorrection.org/>*, a new project
aimed at holding conservative politicians and advocacy groups accountable.
As the organization grows and continues to increase its role in the
progressive movement, the new brand name will enable web visitors, bloggers,
and journalists easier, faster access to the information they need.

*Political Correction* will expand on *MMAN*’s core work of highlighting and
correcting conservative misinformation. In addition to a more user-friendly
website, *Political Correction <http://politicalcorrection.org/>* will
feature an “Eye on the Right” email newsletter and a special section for MJ
Rosenberg’s Foreign Policy Matters.  Over the next year, *Political
Correction <http://politicalcorrection.org/>* has plans to double in size,
ramp up its video tracking program, and increase outreach to media outlets
and allied organizations.

* “The legislative battles of 2009 proved the Right has no interest in
reality,”* said Ari Rabin-Havt, *Media Matters *Vice President for Research
and Communication. *“With no ideas of their own, conservatives resort to
fighting progress with lies and fear.  Political Correction will confront
their lies, expose their deceit, and ensure all Americans know the truth.”*

Since its launch in May 2009, *Media Matters Action Network *put
conservative politicians and advocacy groups on defense through 800 fact
checks, 1,300 blog posts, and 520 videos.  As the only organization –
progressive or conservative – comprehensively monitoring the House and
Senate floors, *MMAN* was able to highlight conservatives’ extreme rhetoric
and show Americans the *real* nature of today’s Republican Party.
