This study examines the role of so-called media watchdog groups in American politics. Specifically, this paper focuses on activities of several major media watchdog groups (both on the left and right politically, as well as groups that specialize in certain topics) and analyzes how they frame political issues and influence citizens. Media watchdog groups claim that they analyze the news content of major news organizations and point out their inaccuracies and bias. Media watch groups' activities are crucial in setting the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage and also in promoting open dialogues in public. However, media watch groups themselves are not free from political bias; some groups appear to present data in a way that promotes their own political agenda; some are more conscious of the group's political leanings and attempt to collaborate with like-minded interest groups in order to press their policy priorities. This work concludes that media watch groups' "objective" data may sometimes present certain views on controversial political issues.
