MEDIA: SPLC

FOX News reports a member of The Montgomery based Southern Poverty Law Center staff took part in drawing up a list of unreliable news media, a list the SPLC  has pulled back after complaints from conservatives because so many were on the list:

"...we are removing this unreliable sites list until we are able to provide our audience a more consistent and rigorous set of criteria. The list was intended to be a starting place for readers and journalists to learn more about the veracity of websites that purported to offer news; it was not intended to be definitive or all encompassing. We regret that we failed to ensure that the data was rigorous before publication, and apologize for the  confusion and agitation caused by its publication. We pledge to continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards."
