I have to strongy defend the use of Anti-American as a headline. The most work AI does is on America. There are literally hundreds of documented cases biased. Anti-Israel, I have not a problem. But, to list somehow people thought AI was biased in favor of America, seems uncommon and has zero value in my op.--'''<font color="#6698FF">J</font><font color="#E41B17">p</font><font color="#F88017">a</font><font color="#347C17">t</font><font color="#A74AC7">t</font>'''<sup>[[User:Jpatt| ]]</sup> 21:05, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

:Well, a large part of the "Anti-American" section is taken up with a quote about reports on Australia, which is incongruous with the original title. The only mention of America is your own comment that AI "exposes an anti-American standpoint increasingly common in liberal groups" by "disproportionately criticiz[ing] free democratic nations over authoritarian nations", & the logic of that is a little flawed since the USA isn't the only free democratic nation. Also, I think when assessing criticisms of AI, it is best to present both viewpoints. Obviously you do not like this organisation much, but please don't assume that all conservatives agree with you on this. [[User:Sideways|Sideways]] 21:21, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
