I'm removing "left-leaning" as a description of FAIR. While it does advocate more left-wing views in the media, it does this in order to counteract a perceived right-wing bias. FAIR views itself as unbiased (i.e., not left-leaning or right-leaning) and a watchdog of a media that it has found to be too conservative. Describing it as left-leaning is not NPOV as that is only a perception of them and their actions: I imagine FAIR would argue that if the media was too left-wing they would press for right-wing views. It is, of course, a matter of debate as to whether that's true. JF Mephisto 15:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
