I'll check it out . . . but I would tend to steer clear of any site that considers its primary purpose to expose "liberal media bias." That makes a complex issue overly simplistic -- to put it simply, it seems pretty clear to me that not all media is liberal. There are papers and television shows that could be considered liberally skewed, of course, but there are just as many that could be considered conservatively skewed. I can assure you the majority of liberals don't consider the mainstream press "liberal," just as the majority of conservatives don't consider the mainstream press "conservative."
Seeing as how it's impossible for any news source to be completely free from political skewing, it seems pretty likely that any media designed to "expose liberal bias" would easily become skewed towards the conservative viewpoint. I like FAIR because I've seen it attack faulty logic by both liberals AND conservatives, not just one or the other, so while it's politically skewed, at least it's not only skewed in one direction.
Still, both sites provide an alternative to mainstream media and give more viewpoints which can only be a good thing.
This would probably go better in the "sources you use for information about war" topic, though.
