ABC News: IPS is an "Independent Think Tank" Media Blog Stephen Spruiell Reporting Media Blog reader Andrew B. writes in to point out this ABC News article about the $400 million retirement package for Exxon chairman Lee Raymond. The article quotes Sarah Anderson of the Institute for Policy Studies: <<< "I think it will spark a lot of outrage," said Sarah Anderson, a fellow in the global economy program at the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent think tank. "Clearly much of his high-level pay is due to the high price of gas." >>> Taken from IPS's About Us page: <<< For more than four decades, IPS has transformed ideas into action for peace, justice, and the environment. >>> If you read on, you notice the word "progressive" used over and over. This reminds me of the NYT article that called the Iraq Body Count Project an "independent group that monitors the news media," when it is in fact a left-wing anti-war outfit. I wonder what Media Matters would do if a news organization cited the Heritage Foundation or the Manhattan Institute without describing them first as "conservative"? — Nathan Goulding media.nationalreview.com abcnews.go.com ips-dc.org nytimes.com nationalreview.com
