One year ago today, Media Matters for America, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit research and information center, launched its website, www.mediamatters.org, dedicated to monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media -- wherever we find it, in every news cycle. I'm writing today to thank all of you who have joined our web-based, rapid-response effort -- the first of its kind for progressives -- to hold the media's feet to the fire.
In just 12 months, more than five million consumers and producers of news have visited our site, viewing 30 million pages; our robust discussion forums have featured more than 120,000 comments; and more than 35,000 websites have linked to Media Matters' research documenting lies, distortions, inaccuracies and other forms of misinformation in the news media that forwards the agenda of radical right-wing political forces.
