About the Organization:

Accuracy in Media uses hidden camera investigative journalism and cultural activism to hold bad public policy actors accountable. Our investigations are regularly featured on Fox News and earn millions of views online. AIM’s activism has been seen on Inside Edition, MSNBC, and even the front page of the New York Times.

AIM campaigns have garnered responses from state officials like Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Dave Yost to national players like US Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and Elon Musk. Our work has also forced the resignations of Ivy League presidents, helped advance universal school choice, and delivered accountability to radicals at America’s K-12 schools and universities.
