Accuracy in Media (AIM)
Background
Accuracy in Media (AIM) is a conservative “media watchdog” with the stated aim of promoting “accuracy, fairness and balance in news reporting.”
Accuracy in Media was founded in 1969 by “a group of concerned citizens”1“Our Mission,” Accuracy in Media. Archived November 9, 2016. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/yb8VH including economist Reed Irvine. In 1972, AIM began publishing the AIM report, a newsletter “dedicated to correcting serious media errors.”2“History of AIM,” Accuracy in Media. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/iVtbZ
Reed Irvine, who passed away in November of 2004 at 82 “annoyed and infuriated major media for years with his syndicated critiques, prolific letters to the editor, and confrontational questions at corporate meetings that routinely accused the press and broadcasters of a liberal bias,” The Washington Post noted.
Irvine’s son, Don Irvine, now serves as the chairman of Accuracy in Media and its sister organization Accuracy in Academia.3“Media Watchdog Reed Irvine, 82,” Washington Post, November 18, 2003. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/u0csk He described his father as “a die-hard anti-communist.”4“Don Irvine,” Accuracy in Media. Archived January 12, 2017.

AIM describes itself as “a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage.”5“About,” Accuracy in Media.

AIM on the Issues
Socialist World Government
According to Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid, as of 2009 the United Nations was “moving ahead with a global conference to lay the groundwork for world government financed by global taxes.” Kincaid adds that “The communist head of the U.N. General Assembly is leading the effort, but he is getting crucial support from “progressive” economists who advise the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party.”8Cliff Kincaid. “The Plan For Socialist World Government,” Accuracy in Media, June 17, 2009. Archived January 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/kICxC
In 2007, AIM also claimed to have exposed the “Conspiracy” of the North American Union in a report “examining charges that a former Carter Administration official is behind a sinister campaign to create a North American Union that will submerge American sovereignty in a trilateral entity consisting of the U.S., Canada and Mexico.”9“Accuracy in Media Exposes North American Union ‘Conspiracy’,” Accuracy in Media, February 19, 2007. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/nPFTq
AIDS a “Manufactured Crisis”
In a 2006 article titled “The Post and the Phony AIDS Crisis,” Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid claims that “the number of HIV/AIDS cases in Africa has been grossly exaggerated by the United Nations in order to generate money through the world body to spend on the disease.” Quoting a Washington Post article that said that HIV/AIDS cases in Africa had been overstated, Kincaid says that the credibility of the United Nations should suffer. Kincaid promotes a book by Tom Bethell of Human Events, titled Politically Incorrect Guide to Science, which “deals with this manufactured ‘crisis’ over AIDS.”10Cliff Kincaid. “The Post and the Phony AIDS Crisis,” Accuracy in Media, April 25, 2006. Archived January 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/QjbWM
Intelligent Design
In an Accuracy in Media article titled “Silencing Science,” Julia A. Seymour claims that those associated with intelligent design are wrongfully facing “mockery, intimidation or academic death through firing or suspension.”11Julia A. Seymour. “Silencing Science,” Accuracy in Media, December 21, 2005. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/PPhVq
“Critics of intelligent design claim that the theory is not scientific, it is creationism in disguise, that there is no debate or controversy over the ‘facts of evolution’,” Seymour writes.
Seymour also quotes the Discovery Institute‘s Jay Richards:
“We’re just pleading for free discourse,” said Richards, “science progresses through the free exchange of ideas.”
Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, an astronomy professor at Iowa State University, said he just wanted to provide interested students with “both sides” of the issue “so they can make up their own minds.”
On DDT
Citing a paper by J. Gordan Edwards, Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid write that “the claim that DDT caused the thinning of bird egg shells and a decline in the bird population is false.”12Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid. “Al Gore and Rachel Carson,” Accuracy in Media, August 24, 2000. Archived January 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/baqaE
Homosexuality
In 2000, Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid point to an article in the Massachusetts News, suggesting “homosexuals are recruiting children in the public schools of Massachusetts.”13Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid. “Homosexual Recruitment in Schools,” Accuracy in Media, June 20, 2000. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Yi3OB In 2015, Cliff Kincaid criticized Obama for supporting gay members of the military:14Brian Tashman. “Right-Wing Pundits Rail Against Gay Military Leaders,” Right Wing Watch, June 11, 2015. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/byVTg
“In Obama’s Orwellian Armed Forces, two men make a marriage, even if one takes the title of ‘wife’ and the other ‘husband.’ Or, perhaps, both are husbands. Who knows? I may have to consult the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association for the latest instructions on the correct terminology,” Kincaid wrote. “Left behind in the wake of this exercise in building a new nation are the remnants of the old America—traditional values, a strong military, and a constitutional system based on free enterprise and limited government.”
Comments Surrounding 2021 Capitol Insurrection
Accuracy in Media was among dozens of the individuals and organizations profiled in DeSmog’s Disinformation Database who posted online or gave interviews about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. Some posted claims of election fraud, similar to those that drove the Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6. Some circulated dubious information about the insurrection itself. DeSmog has preserved a selection of notable posts related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, including some that were later deleted or removed.
On Jan. 12, 2021 Accuracy in Media’s President Adam Guilette participated in an online broadcast, advertised on social media by the organization, where he discussed the Capitol insurrection and the Black Lives Matter uprisings.15“Adam Guillette discusses the Capitol Hill media hypocrisy on Liquid Lunch,” Accuracy in Media, January 12, 2021. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.
During that interview, Guillette discussed the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, by comparing the reaction to civil unrest over the lack of police accountability for the deaths of George Floyd and many other Black people in the US.16“Adam Guillette Discusses the Capitol Hill Media Hypocrisy on Liquid Lunch,” YouTube video uploaded by user “Accuracy in Media,” Jan 12, 2021.

[00:05:36] “Well, to your point, they didn’t just normalize the violence. They celebrated the violence. They named streets after these people engaging in violence. They painted, you know, a lot of the roads to celebrate the folks who were engaging in violence. Hollywood celebrities even donated twenty five million dollars to pay the bail money for the rioters so that they could go out and riot again. So the notion that these people are suddenly outraged by the violence in the Capitol is ridiculous.” [00:06:02]
Stance on Climate Change

Cliff Kincaid writes at Accuracy in Media:17Cliff Kincaid. “The CIA’s Dirty Tricks Against American Democracy,” Accuracy in Media, December 18, 2016. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/bgcOU
“If the Democrats really wanted to take down Putin’s regime, they would abandon their anti-fossil fuel policies, give up on a “climate change” agreement that benefits our adversaries, and support the President-elect’s policies of growth and resource exploration and exploitation.”
November 2014
Highlighting an isolated weather event, AIM Newswire comments that “Even the liberal newspaper The Washington Post cannot deny how cold it has been recently.” They then suggest this is reason to discount global warming as increasing temperature-related fatalities:18“Global Warming/Climate Change? Coldest November Morning since 1976,” Accuracy in Media, November 19, 2014. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Z3o3z
“So much for climate change or global warming endangering human lives…but what about the snow and cold weather? Global freezing, anyone?”

Writing for Accuracy in Media, Cliff Kincaid declared:19Cliff Kincaid. “ClimateGate, the Green Dragon, and the End of Christianity – Special Report,” Accuracy in Media, December 9, 2009. Archived January 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/Z8lU0
“With the ClimateGate revelations of flimsy ‘science’ behind the man-made global warming theory, the role of the religious left in promoting this fraudulent scheme now deserves serious media scrutiny. “
Kincaid goes on to quote climate change denier James Wanliss, author of The Green Dragon, a book that argues environmentalism is “the reconstruction of a pagan world order” and a “rejection of Christian spirituality.”20Cliff Kincaid. “ClimateGate, the Green Dragon, and the End of Christianity – Special Report,” Accuracy in Media, December 9, 2009.

August 10, 2007
AIM Editor Roger Aranoff claims, writing at the AIM website, that the science is not settled on climate change:21Roger Aronoff. “Newsweek Burns Truth in Global Warming Story,” Accuracy in Media, August 10, 2007. Archived January 11, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/YphUa
“In fact, while most observers and experts agree that the climate is changing and may even be warming over the long term, the real debate is over whether human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, are responsible, and whether we can do anything about it. The critics of the theory cast doubt on that connection, noting the lack of definitive evidence of a cause and effect. There are other explanations for possible warming, such as solar activity.”
February 2007
Cliff Kincaid, Director of Accuracy in Media’s Center for Investigative Journalism, said in a 2007 column on AIM‘s website:22“Cliff Kincaid,” Accuracy in Media. Archived January 10, 2017.

“Incredibly, the much-publicized United Nations climate change report, which blames global warming on people, has no published science to back it up.”
November 2005
AIM columnist Cliff Kincaid criticized Fox News for broadcasting a program The Heat is On, which reported that global warming represents a serious problem. Kincaid argued “[t]he program was one-sided to the point of being comical,” and said the airing was a “scandal” in an article titled “Hostile Takeover of Fox News.”24Cliff Kincaid. “Hostile Takeover of Fox News,” Accuracy in Media, November 21, 2005.

In an Accuracy in Media (AIM) article titled “The Red Guards Are Green,” Cliff Kincaid writes that Democratic Attorneys general who are delving into climate change denial in the U.S. are trying to “stifle debate ver the job-destroying policies of the Obama regime” and to “criminalize and prosecute those challenging the global warming theory.”31“The Red Guards Are Green,” Accuracy in Media, June 6, 2016. Archived January 12, 2017. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/J7e3M
Kincaid describes proposed policies of Senator Bernie Sanders, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton, as all of a “totalitarian nature” given “they all propose to use government power to control the economy by either confiscating the assets of private firms or running them out of business.”
Kincaid writes that this is a sign “America is becoming a socialist state,” also criticizing the Obama administration which “has been seeking to destroy the entire coal industry.”
With regards to the Paris Climate Agreement, Kincaid promotes a paper by The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) “which says the agreement is essentially a fraud.”
