Media Matters analyzes American news sources from networks and channels to websites, including NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, One America News Network, Breitbart, and Fox News, as well as conservative talk radios. Its techniques include content analysis, fact checking, monitoring, and comparison of quotes or presentations from media figures to primary documents, such as United States Department of Defense and Government Accountability Office reports. Since 2006, Media Matters for America has released studies documenting that Republicans and conservatives outnumber Democrats and progressives in guest appearances on television news programs.
