Where is the dispute?
The dispute has been occurring at Talk:Media_Matters_for_America.

Who is involved?
A short list of the users involved, for example;


 * User:Croctotheface
 * User:ATren
 * User:-Zeus-

What is the dispute?
Atren and -Zeus- feel that the lead should include the fact that some sources have labeled the group as liberal. The lead currently has their quoted self-description, describing them as progressive. Croctotheface feels that this is accurate enough, but ATren and -Zeus- feel that it is a weasel word used by the organization to paint their views in the most beneficial light.

What would you like to change about this?
The assenting group would like to add to the lead of the article

How do you think we can help?
We need to reach a consensus, using policy, about when to use a organization's self-described political views, and when to note that some sources dissent.

Mediator notes
Hello. On behalf of the Mediation Cabal, I would like to apologize for the delay. Is this still an issue? If so, I would be willing to accept the case. Please let me know. Firestorm Talk 23:32, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
