CMD Creates New Tipline to Spotlight Front Groups, in Aftermath of Citizens United

By Lisa Graves

The Center for Media and Democracy announced last week at the Campaign for America's Future conference that we are creating a new tip line to help the public report on front group ads they see on TV, as the mid-term congressional elections approach. We welcome readers help create new articles on SourceWatch spotlighting these groups and researching which corporations are funding these efforts. Even if you don't have the time to create a new article about a group like Citizens United, you can send us an e-mail at tipline@sourcewatch.org or tipline@prwatch.org, alerting us to the new group and what the ad was about, so we can shine a light on whose interests are really behind superficially appealing names, like Freedomworks. We look forward to your emails and other contributions to this important effort to fight against spin and for the truth! --Lisa Graves, Executive Director
