SourceWatch provides open and simple tools to attract public participation in documenting information about the people, companies, and entities attempting to shape public opinion as well as about select public policy issues. With the experience of the [[Center for Media and Democracy]] (CMD) in researching and writing about spin and propaganda, CMD believes it is vital to a working democracy to increase public scrutiny and public awareness of the people and companies shaping public policy and about these policies as well as disinformation regarding these issues. See [http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2003Q4/index.html Flack Attack]: for more information about this.
