Basis Found For Pressure On Facts Forum
The ACLU says it found some basis for a complaint about pressure-group activity against Facts Forum but nothing warranting a full investigation. The National Issues Committee pressured Mutual Broadcasting System to drop Facts Forum's Reporters Roundup program by threatening a FCC investigation. the program is still carried by some Mutual stations. The ACCF faced no grounds for pressuring NBC, and WEAN in Providence was cited in a separate bias dispute. Facts Forum is a nonprofit linked to H. L. Hunt and described as nonpartisan educational, though critics label it right wing.
