The '''Center for Media and Public Affairs''' (CMPA) is a U.S.-based tax-exempt nonprofit [[501(c)(3)]] [[media watch]] organization. On its website, CMPA claims to be politically neutral: "The Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) is a nonpartisan research and educational organization which conducts scientific studies of the news and entertainment [[media]]. CMPA election studies have played a major role in the ongoing debate over improving the election process."<ref>[http://www.cmpa.com/about.html "About the Center for Media and Public Affairs"], accessed February 2008.</ref>
However, as shown below, CMPA's claim to be non-partisan is incompatible with the fact that nearly all its funding comes from [[conservative foundations]].
CMPA also runs the [[Statistical Assessment Service]] as a [[Front groups|front organization]].
