Media Matters for America is a nonprofit think tank and information center based in Washington, D.C., focused on monitoring and analyzing U.S. media for conservative misinformation. Since its inception in May 2004, it has systematically tracked a wide range of outlets—print, broadcast, cable, radio, and online—producing real-time observations of content that is inaccurate or misleading and that advances a conservative agenda. The organization mainly disseminates its findings through mediamatters.org, posting rapid-response items alongside longer research and analytic reports to document misinformation across media outlets.

Its work is directed toward informing activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public, providing resources to rebut false claims and to challenge offending media institutions. In 2023, Media Matters published a report examining advertising placements on the X platform tied to a verified account associated with extremist content, illustrating its focus on how misinformation interacts with online advertising ecosystems. Within the think tank and media watchdog space, it serves as a research and information center dedicated to monitoring and countering conservative misinformation in U.S. media.
